"STEAM YACHTS AND LAUNCHES." 



ANEW and enlarged edition of Mr. Kunbardt's valuable hand- 

 book has just been issued, the additions being such as to en- 

 large considerably ihe original scope of the work, in answer to a 

 general demand which was manifested on the appearance of the 

 first; edition. In the original plan of the work there was no idea 

 of carrying the subject as far as the construction of the hull, the 

 book being intended chiefly for the use of owners and handlers of 

 steam yachts ratlier than for those engaged in building. A great 

 many requests have been received, however, from all quarters for 

 further information in ih» direction of practical construction; 

 and in the work of revising this point has received special atten- 

 tion. Tbe design and construction of steam, yachts is asubj'^ct 

 that would require a large volume to deal with completely; hut in 

 the present book the effort has been made to present in compact 

 and easily comprehensible shape the leading principles of modern 

 construction. The various parts of the hull are fully described, 

 with the material commonly used for each, and a table of scant- 

 ling for various sizes of craft from 1.5 to 90et. length is given. This 

 part of the book is illustrated by lines and details of construction 

 of such craft of different sizes as are most in demand for ordinary 

 service. 



The portion of the work relating to the engines and boilers has 

 been very carefully revised and re-written, and the whole book 

 now makes a handsome volume of 270 pages, with a large number 

 of lUustraiions. 



NEW YORK Y. C. CRUISE. 1891. 



IF popular report be true, it often happens that in cases where 

 all else fails it is the habit of physiciai s to try in succession 

 each of the variou« concoctions and nostrums at hand. The dull- 

 ness that has prevailed in yachting for some time has this year 

 resulted in a similar course of treatment on the part of the clubs. 

 As no one has thus far been able to give a complete and satisfac- 

 tory reason why classes do not fill, and entry lists are so smoll, 

 nor to suggest a cure for the existing state of affairs, the regatta 

 committees have pertorce fallen back on the experimental plan, 

 trying any and all lemedies which present themselves. 



The season thus far has been marked by handicap races, races 

 in cruising trim, and other similar novelties, and the annual 

 cruise of the New Y'ork Y. C. has followed the same course as the 

 ordinary races and regattas in departing from established custom. 



Partly with ti.e idea of interesting non-owners and others 

 unable to join the cruise, and partly because any change might 

 be for the better, the usual rendezvous at New London was tnis 

 year abandoned, and the club returned for the first time in eight 

 years to the old rendezvous at Glen Cove. Loug Island, at the 

 head of Long Island Sound. 



With the change of place, the date was also altered, the ren- 

 dezvous being on Monday morning in place of Wednesday night. 

 The programme, so far arranged in advance, wasfor arondezvous 

 off Glen Cove. Hempstead Bay, on Monday, Aug. 3, sailing in 

 squadron to Huntinton Bay, and on the following day to make 

 the first racing run to New London. The distances were not very 

 evenly divided, the first run, of 10 miles, being so short as to make 

 It hardly worth while getting a large yacht underway, while the 

 second one, of 65 miles, was a very long pull for the smaller craft 

 under any conditions, and with a light head wind, for the larger 

 ones as well. 



A special feature of the new-old rendezvous was the presence of 

 a club steamer, the Myndert Starin, with band, luncheon, flags 

 and all provision for the comfort and amusement of several 

 hundred ladies and club memberp, the steamer leaving New York 

 at 9:30 P. M., accompanying the fleet nearly to Huntington Bay, 

 and returning to the city by dark. 



The flagship Electra. with Com. Gerry. Fleet Captain Peabody. 

 Messrs. T. Nicholson Kane. Chester Griswo'd and Ir\'ing Grinnell, 

 Treasurer Hurst. Fleet Surgeon Asch and Mr. D. B. Fearing, with 

 the representatives of tbe New York and Boston papers, left the 

 club station in the East River and ran to Glen Cove, where aflfet 

 of over 70 yachts was waiting, which was increased during the 

 day to about 80. Prominent among them were the steam yachts 

 Alva, Conqueror, a handsome white vessel, Golden Fleece, Oneida, 

 Susquehanna, Radha, Jean, Fed alma, Almy, Seneca and Viola. 



chptte, Norseman, Palmer, Columbia, Intrepid, Elma, Quickstep, 

 Agnes and Clio, seliooners. The singlestick fleet included Gracie, 

 Bedouin, Fanny, Hildegarde. Mischief, Huron. Cinderella, Clara, 



parielle and ketch Oriol . 



Volunteer bad not reported, Glor'ana had remained at Newport, 

 Grayling was not visible, Katrina was at City I«land, joining the 

 fleet at night. The new Burgess 30-footer Favcy, a handsotne 

 httle craft, was flying about the fl»et, while Mr. Clapham had the 

 Chippeway out. Immediately on anchoring the signal for a meet- 

 ing of captains was set on the flagship, bringing launches and gigs 

 alongside in quick order. The meeting was very brief, the only 

 business being the decision as to the two runs mentioned. 



After the meeting the fleer got under way. no times bfing taken, 

 and the yachts beat out with a light easterly breeze, reaching 

 Huntington Bay about 5 P. M., Oweene being in the lead. 



Huntington Bay is a beautiful place to lie in with a good yacht 

 under one, but that is all that can be said of it. When it comes 

 to accommodations on shore or any means of communication 

 with the world at large a worse spot could hardlv be found within 

 twice the distance of New Y^ork. The fate of the newspaper men 

 was specially unpleasant; the shore was only reached at 8 P. M. 

 after three hours in a cathoat, which most fortunately appeared 

 on the scene. It was long after dark when the weary crew 

 swarmed up the tall piles of the wharf at Northport and appealed 

 to the hospitality of a small country tavern for a supper and a 

 bed for a few hours. 



In order to be on board in time for a very early start strict 

 orders were given for a call at 4 A. M. When this hour came a 

 very heavy rain was falling, but with a good breeze and an ebb 

 tide the flag=hlp was finally reached in season. 



The starting line was between the Electra and tbf buoy off 

 Eaton's Neck, the finish being 63 miles away, off the lighthouse at 

 New London, the weather cloudy with a light rain, and a working 

 breeze from the eastward. The start was made a 6:20, the gun for 

 the first division, 46 and 40ft. and the schooners under TOft., miss- 

 ing fire, so that the whistle was used as a last resort. Oweene, 

 Mineola and Sayonara had come for the line well timed, but the 

 delay of the gun forced them to run along the line. Nautilus and 

 Gossoon came under Electra's sternpost as the whistle blew, and 

 made a good start to windward of the others. As there w«s plenty 

 of wind, the start of yachts made a fine picture. Cinderella 

 went over the line with Cnpt. .lohn Barr twisting away at her 

 wh^el as though he never knew what it was to handle a tiller. 

 Clara did not cross the line, merely making the run wituout being 

 timpd. Golden Fleece stowed her funnel and started out under 

 canvas. Fanny, with the old rig over a new stern and a white 

 dress, turned in two reefs and started for the run only. 



The greater part of the fleet held the Long Island shore until 

 past Port Jefferson, the yachts gradually separating and fl-ially 

 coming together on the Connecticut shore toward the end of the 

 run. The wind held fjesh all dav. the rain stopping after a time, 

 save for a few showers, and the fleet made New London as in the 

 following table. 



O^veene did fine work all day, with Sayonara huntiDg her near 

 the head of the fleet. K«trina was far in the lead of all, while 

 Mayflower held a good place among the schooners, Wontauk and 

 Fortuna, as a matter of course, resumed their old duel. Gossoon 

 met with some mishap when beyond Oldfleld Point and put back 

 before thB wind. Tbe official times of the racing yacMe were as

A TRIP TO HERRING GUT. 



Br DR. W. H. WINSLOW. 



"T^HE man who goes to sea for fun is a fool." So I have heard 



X. frequently. It depends upon how he goes and for what he 

 goes. If he is a nervous dyspeptic, has incipient consumption, 

 suffers from hay-fever, or is in danger of a nervous break down 

 fi om overwork, confinement and worry, I know nothing better 

 for him to do. A few weeks spent in racing up and down the 

 coast will banish ills, discharge the doctor, bankrupt the drug- 

 gist, and put him squarely upon his heels, ready for a tus.'^le with 

 the main sheet or a panic in Wall street. That reminds me of 

 howl let the main sheet go and nearly wrecked my cutter and 

 my own right Ipg off Mosquito Island last summer. 



We had left Belfast after dinner, wind off shore and getting 

 lighter. When we reached the lower end of Islesboro, aud the sun 

 cast the deep shadows of the Liucolnville Mountains nearly 

 across the Western Bay, we knew it was time to get the anchor 

 down, or we would have a late supper. Then we steered for Gil- 

 key's, but the main boom took charge of the deck and slapped me 

 alongside of the head several times, until Mack took nity on me 

 and went ahead in the dingy with a towline. We crept down the 

 shore by the sound of the splash of the waves upon the rooky 

 beach, measured the distance off by the trees and their refl-c- 

 tinns, shaved close to the lighthouse, and came to anchor at 9 

 P. M. in a flat calm, as near Spruce Island as we dared. 



There was a breeze off shore in the morning, snd we went along 

 with everything up except the spinaker past Owl's Head and the 

 Muscle Shoals and took a fresh S.W. breeze right in our teeth 

 near V^Tiite Head. A good tack carried us into Seal Harbor, be- 

 hind islands, ledges, and the lighthouse, where we remained all 

 night. The wind howled, the sea rose, the shore could not be. 

 reached without a hard struggle in our httle boat, aud we did 

 not care for the shore any way. It was rocky, covered with 

 weeds and stunted evergreens, had several unoccupied houses 

 near a deserted quarry and made one feel m' lancholy owing to 

 the absence of lite. The light was cheerful as a lone star, but too 

 far away to be companionable, and we found comfort below in 

 tobacco and stories. 



What a discomfort it is to smoke on deck in a gale. Cigars lose 

 their flavor, the ashes blow in one's eyes, the fire burns too 

 fiercely, and|calm meditation and reverie are banished by anxiety 

 in managing the pesky weed. 



The wind was ahead the next day, but we thought we could 

 beat outside of WhUe Head, and we did, and kept on toward the 

 west. How exhilarating to plunge along close-hauled just to 

 windward of a Irdge and feel the sea lift you high up and lower 

 you gently down along the edge of destruction. With gear- taut, 

 sails carefully trimmed, tiller handled tenderlv and every sense 

 alert, one dares to go as far as 'he incisor teeth of danger, aud 

 tacks ship and laughs at the baffled jaws astern as he fills away 

 for an off board. 



Thus we played with the ledges in the bright sunshine upon the 

 summer seas that dash around the western entrance to Penobscot 

 Bay until we had the bell buoy astern and Mosquito Island upon 

 our weather. The seas were getting troublesome; the wind had 

 forced iu the gafftopsail and staysail, and the mainsail and jib 

 were getting too much for us. We had passed the entrance to 

 Herring Gut aud had a lot of ledges under our lee which must be 

 passed before we could keep away for the main ship channel. 

 She was showing her mettle now, going down to her bowsprit 

 every sea and shaking the jib as she rose and dashed onward. The 

 crew was close down to windward ready to do anything upcessary. 

 A heavier plunge than usual made me fear something would give 

 way and 1 looked over the top hamper carefully. Then I noticed 

 that the end of t^e jib halliards, fastened in a large sereweye in 

 the masthead, had bent the bolt down and partly drawn it. Quick 

 as I could order and luff a little, Johnson was aloft and plat ed a 

 strap around it and the eyebolt of the iron cap, and saved dis- 

 aster. 



The grinning surf-dashed ledges were now abeam, we slacked 

 sheets and sprung with frightful speed from sea to sea toward 

 harbor. The sails and sea vied with each other to speed us 

 onward, and we made beds of foam and a wake like a steamer as 

 we dashed ahead. The main sheet was eased steadily as we 

 rounded the reefs and, approachlDg the harbor, I gave Mack tbe 

 tiller and took hold of the main sheet to attend to it as we came 

 to. I took off the turns and held by a single turn, when th'j saucy 

 craft took a deep roll to leeward, threw me upon my knees, let 

 the sheet off the cleat and away I went riding upon th« tackle, 

 slam against the quarter hitts and over the rati, while the boom 

 swung out quickly, broke off against the backstays and shrouds, 

 tore out fastenings and went dancing up and down with its 

 splintered pnd in dangerous proximitv to the crew upon the fore- 

 castle, getting the anchor ready. The next minute Mack had 

 luffed her, the jib was hauled down and the mainsail was low- 

 ered— aud 1 was nursing a bruised leg in the cockpit. 



How I got inboard again without getting wet I do not know. 

 I've a confused remembrance of flying along a lot of ropes till I 

 reached the rail and got clear of them. It was a narrow escape 

 any way, and my knee gives a little twinge occasionally to remind 

 me of it. 



The drawing of that bolt is tbe onlv thing that ever gave way 

 on Orinda, and this speaks weL for Williams, her builder, for she 

 has done as wild and rough cruising as any yacht of her size upm 

 the coast. 



We were glad to get in; a real gale blew twenty-four hours and 

 tumbled us around somewhat, but we were in reach of a pretty 

 village with stores and spar makers, and spent a pleasant time 

 till a new boom was made and taken aboard. 



Pride Cove is now the name for Herring Gut, but the latter will 

 stick to the tongues of this generarion. It is just inside of Mar- 

 shall Island Light, and is as pretty a seaside resort, barring fash- 

 ion, as one can find. It is a good distance from railroads and off 

 the regular steamboats, and the mail is slow and newspapers are 

 stale, but so much the better for tiied people. Hike to visit these 

 out-of-the-way places, and to meet the generous, hospitable people 

 who dwell there. They remind one of Goldsmith's "Children 

 just let loose from school."
