jE^OkEST ANt) SfftEAM. 



A CORINTHIAN CRUISE. 



ON June 8 of the present year my wife, my brother and I 

 arrivpd at Newport, and proceeding to the shipyard took 

 possession of my yacht. She lay on the ways, and after climhlng 

 a long ladder we finally put foot on her decks. Stie was a 83fr. 

 cutter, 9ft. beam, at waterliue, wltli a Que overhang aft and 

 old-fashioned cutter sttm. Her lines were nretty. and on the 

 ways she was a picture of a boat, her sharp bilge eiving Vjromise 

 of nofickening motion and her heavT keei, nearly ISin. across on 

 the bottom, elviug an assurance of stability, which fuUv justifled 

 itself on onr long cruise. 



Of course the tii'st thing my wife wanted to do was tn examine 

 Ihe cabin, and unlocking tlie companionway doors and sliding the 

 hatch we went below. Kothing lirsuriottfl was to be found, but 

 everything for comfort in cruisii!,!; whs there. The cabin house, 

 13ft. long, was divided into two ]3firts. each r.f t. fore and aft and a 

 trifle less than 9ft in width, the after compartment formed the 

 main cabin, with OH-, transoms raised some gft. from the floor, 

 wide enough to sleep on comfortably and covered with silk plu«h 

 cushions. Tvvo small lockers aft, one for clotbiug and the otlier 

 for odds and ends, with the addition of a couple nf small state- 

 room lampF, one in each corner and a fine rug on the floor gave 

 promise of a cosy cabin, Forivard was a small stateroom occupy- 

 ing the second naif of the cabin, on the port side of which was a 

 double trank, and on the starboard a washstand, etc.. another 

 closet for clothes occupying the space under tlie denk. The fore- 

 castle was bulkheaded off from tlie main cabin with a small slid- 

 ing door opi^ning into one diminutive stateroom for use m pa=i^- 

 ing dinner and other meals through. Climbing into the fore- 

 castle, a good-sized one, about d^tt. long and 5ft. under the 

 beams, we found a ciiina closet on tue port side of the ljulkhead, 

 with a fine assortment of dishes, a stove, an oil burner, stuck 

 right up in her eyes, and a couple of hammock cots swung up out 

 of the way against the sides. Lifting off the hutch to relieve the 

 gloom made more apparent by a couple of skylights we sat down 

 on the narrow transom and discussed our plans for our cruise. 



Soon I was on deck examining her upper works and spars. She 

 Tiad apole mast finished off at the top. 1 know then I tiad no top- 

 sail to mind. Of course her sails were unbent and stowed away, 

 80 getting out the buatswain's cha^r we first rigged the throat 

 halliards atiU beading on the chair next rove off the peak, the jib 

 and the forestaysail halliards. Having put the running rigging 

 in place, we proceeded to bend on first the m"insail, and next her 

 jibs. This for an amateur took up all that day. and when night 

 fell we bad the cabin well clearpd of all sails and rigging and had 

 plenty of room to sleep after a warm supper prepared by my wiCe 

 while we were finishing up on deck. 



Of course that night there were uo sudden calls from slumber, 

 and we improved the opportunity to get what sleep we could, 

 knowing that after she was launched pumping would be the order 

 of the day, and night, too. lu the light of after events 'tis well 

 we did. Owing, perhaps, to our strange bed, we were early awake 

 and at work. My wife below arranging the cabin to her satisfac- 

 tion, we at work sandpapering the bottom and putting on a couple 

 of coats of copper botiom paint. 



Toward evening she was ready to be launched, and as the sun 

 gleamed red in a rosy setting of clouds, giving promise of a fair 

 Clay, we prepared to pat the yacht into her elemnnc. As she slid 

 down the ways we struck off her old name, and my wife at the 

 bows with a cup of sea water dashed it over her as we struck the 

 water, and in impressive tones announced her new name Nayade. 



Afloat! Afloat! How our pulses stirred as we began to dance 

 on the swells of the harbor, fast to moorings some 300yds. from 

 shore. And now began to twinkle the different beacons and 

 lights, ushered in by a loud report from Fort Adams announcing 

 sundown. 



We were too much enchanted to think of supper; each twink- 

 ling ray of light as darkness began to fall twinkling brighter and 

 brighter, and each gentle curtsey made by the boat to Father 

 Neptune's lazy swells calming our excitement and helping to place 

 us in a contented and happy mood. 



We soon had our anclior lights set and then supper was once 

 more suggested by our hungry bodies. Why isit that the material 

 wants of the body will intrude themselves at such moments to rob 

 the scene of poetry? Yes, unanswerable. 



Down below plungf d my wife to light up the cabin and get sup- 

 per. She had no sooner struck the cabin floor than a scream 

 struck my ear-, followed by a hurried rush to deck wi^h skirts 

 dripping. While we had been enjoying oiirselves on deck the 

 water we had been admiring had forced its way through the 

 opened seams of the yacht and was six inches deep on the cabin 

 floor. Soon the pump began its choking cough, the water at the 

 same time falling until we could once more stand dryshod in the 

 cabin. Supper aud pumping alternated with each other, and 

 preparations were made to keep her clear during the night. My 

 wife retired to the stateroom on being assured she would be 

 awakened in tim" shouJd the water get beyond our control, and 

 we poor sinners took two-hour watches to punish us, I suppose, for 

 poetizing. 



After dog watches all night, a cat -nap the next day was most 

 enjoyable and as the seams had begun to close we turned in after 

 breakfast for a few hours. Dinner brought us out of our sleep, 

 and my attention was given during the afternoon to the rigging, 

 wh'ch was as far as we could see in good condition. 



By Thursday morning Nay ade's seams were so tight as to assure 

 us of safety for a short cruise, we accordingly took a vote as to 

 our destination and decided on Providence While the voting 

 was in progivss the mainsail had been flirting in the morning air, 

 setting the traveler to groaning and rasping with such a vigor as 

 to set the teeth on edge, so we only had lo set the staysail and iib, 

 when slipping our moorings we darted across the harbor. 'The 

 morning was fine with a strong breeze from the south wesi, seem- 

 ingly the prevailing wind at Newport. We slipped past Goat 

 Island and into the Bay at a slashing speed. By Bishop's Rock 

 and the grim training squadron anchored off the training school 

 with just 'mongh sea on to add a little variety. Past Prudence 

 Island we elided, watching as we went up the Bay a glimpse of 

 Bristol, where are located the famous Herreshoff Bros., unequaled 

 in designing. 



We had a race with a little Soft, steam launcli from Prudence 

 up, and having a strong breeze and a fast boat we kept her astern 

 until nearly up to Providence, when we ignominiously went 

 aground. Then our competitor had a chance to show her magna- 

 nimity, of which he took prompt advantage, and casting us a line 

 did his best to pull us off. Instead of doing so he went aground 

 also, but having si earn to aid him succeeded in getting off. The 

 captain wanted to make another trial, but I thanked him and 

 begged him not to risk it, and threw myself on the tender mercies 

 of tne captain of a tug, which had approached us as buzzards do 

 crippled game. For two dollars we were pulled off without strain- 

 ing a timber, and keeping in the middln of the channel soon 

 arrived at Providence in 6ff. of water three hours after leaving 

 Newport. This trip showed me that my yacht was fast in a 

 strong breeze, and I have informed all my friends of the circum- 

 stance until it has become one of my stock of yarns. 



We soon had all sail stowed and trooped to supper with good 

 appetites. After supper my brother and I lit our cigars and went 

 forward wUh a couple of cushions to enjoy a quiet evening, and 

 were soon joined liv my wife. A boat rowing around us in the 

 darkness with muffled oars at once aroused suspicions of river 

 thieves, and getting our guns ready we awaited their nearer ap- 

 proach. My wife becoming nervotts I sent her below, and we 

 watched sharply for the thieves. The glaring electric lights 

 ashore sending a path of liglit here and there over the ripuling 

 waters enabled us to occasionally catch a glimpse of our Black- 

 beards. We were kept in a state of suspense until nearly mid- 

 jugfat. when we heard their boat glide away in the darkness. 

 While we were rejoiced to see them go, still we feared a return, 

 Ijtit once below we fell sound asleep. 



Early the next morning we arose to find ourselves aground, the 

 tide having left lis, not high and dry, but fast nevertheless. The 

 captain aud his wife went ashore to view thetowu, and on return- 

 ing found the yacht afloat once more. As Providence was warm, 

 and the berth we lay in none too fragrant, the anchor was soon 

 hove up and sail set, and off we went on the starboard tack with 

 a light wind from northwest. 



The wind carried us well down until abreast Bishop's Rock, 

 when it failed entirely, and we lay bobbing in sight of Newport 

 until loug after the sunset gun had flashed from Fort Adams. 



The wind came up about y o'clock, but it came in the shape of 

 oae of those disgustingly light zephyrs, and from about south- 

 west. With sheets close ha,uled we dragged our way along very 

 deliberately, past the training squadron with its flashing 

 lights, while our side lights cast a gleam on an unruffled surface 

 of black, over which we moved at a snail's pace, past Goat Island 

 Light and into the harbor, thankful that otir night sail was over. 



I congratulated myself too soon, however, for no sooner had we 

 entered the harbor than pufl', and the wind left for other quarters 

 and we half a mile from moorings. In a short time, however, a 

 faint puff sent us in out of the trick of the steamers, and seeing 

 no chance of reaching our old anchorage dropped anchor off the 

 N«w York Y. C. station and turned m for the nigtit. 



Morning light showed us tfiat we were in good company, for 

 alongside us lay Uvira, a Fife cutter belonging to Mr. Sands, and 

 tlie schooner Intrepid. A number of yachts from New York 

 dropped anchor in Newport waters during the next few days, 

 giving promise of the enormous assemblage later in the season. 



Having plenty of time to spend in so delightful a place we re- 

 mained in Newport until June 24, occasionally varying the 

 monotony by a trip to Fort Dumpling, where w« were >iefogeed 

 for six hours and sailed up and down the bav. The wind during 

 the three wfekf- wb were there hung obstinatFly in the southwest, 

 and that furt'ished a good excuse for not sailing; bub the truth 

 was I bad fallen in love with the surroundings and my wife was 

 persuaded by her fi lends ashore not to leave till the last 

 moment. 



I shall never forget one night when I awoke a>>out 3 A.M. and 

 found our riding light out and heard the paddles of the New 

 York steRmer slapping the water about a mile away. It gave 

 me the shivers to think what might have happened had 1 not 

 awakened. I ihrew the lantern overboard in my anger, but 

 thank Heaven it floated loug enough for me to swim to i'. Once 

 on board and the water out it was relit and swung in the rigging. 

 ju=tas ihf. Hound steamer sbowed her bow light around Fort 

 Adams. I did not feel safe in turning in until she had passed us, 

 whpu a dry ber^h was verv welcome. 



Wednesday, Junt^ 34, at 6 A. M., we got up anchor and sail, and 

 with a steady and strong brpo'j5B from the northwest shot off on 

 the starboard tack. As we flitted by B^ort Adams we took a fare- 

 well look at its granite ramparts. iVly wife had persuaded a friend 

 of hers, whom we will call Miss Ella, to accompany us far as New 

 London. No so'Tier, however, had we passed Foi't Dumpling, that 

 picturtsque pile, and felt ihe heaving of Old Neptune's breast, 

 than the women folks retired below only to make an appearance 

 on deck some hours later in the midst of tbe Race. All the way 

 down the bav we were pursued by a little •10ft. schooner, but heel- 

 ing well over we dashed along and were the first to turn Reaver 

 Tail. Then we were on the sea. The solitude was oppressive; 

 uorhmgtodo but watch th^ various sailing craft flit by and the 

 enormous green hills roU up toward us, and catching us on their 

 cresis togs us beavenward. And then the slide down their glassy 

 surface I 



The yacht spun along as though 'twere a delight to feel the rest- 

 less toss of the waves of old ocean, and we worked no a magnifi- 

 cent appetite, sharpened no doubt by the motion and air of the 

 sea. We made one leg of it fjom Beaver Tail to w ithin a short 

 distance oi Block Island, and then bringing in the six et and shift- 

 ing helm, we began our journey through Long Island Sound. 

 Taking the course marked on the chart— VV. by S. ^ S.— which we 

 fortunately were permitted to follow by the wind, we sailed down 

 the Sound past the well-known shores of Rhode Island and took 

 the outside passage through the Race. Hud we not had a strong 

 wind I should not have done so, for the Rac" runs at a speed of 

 several knots, and if the wind is light it is hard to work through 



Well, we entered the Race and then there was fun; splash, 

 splash, tbe angry waves struck the windward side like battering 

 rams, trying, no doubt, to stave in the side, for 1 never noticed 

 such hungry looking waters as this spot contains. The waves 

 toss up and down at short distances apart like wolves seeking to 

 drag down their prey— mean, gray, tossing water, nothing majes- 

 tic like the roll of the sea, but snapping and splashing, and each 

 individual wave seeming to invite you to throw yourself on its 

 tender mercies. Owing, perhaps, to the strong wind, the sea in 

 that spot, at least, was higher than u-=ual, but the high wind also 

 helped to keep our boat safe from the jaws of these hungry wattrs 

 and we were hardly hindered by the current till we passed Race 

 Rock light and began beating up the bay. I never want the wind 

 to die out and leave me in the midst of tnat churning, boiling 

 waste of watnr; I am, perhaps, too sensitive, but I would as soon 

 trust a pack of wolves as them. 



The sun was just setting as we passed between Race Rock light 

 and Little Gull lighf and the green shores looked inviting after 

 our day on tne water, nevertheless we had to beat up to Pi:.e 

 Island Channel, after which we could hold the wind right in. 

 \W ran up past the Ocean House, ablaze with lamps, and finally 

 came to anchor at !):30 off the Pequot House, in about 30ft. o"f 

 water right alongside a black cutter, which turned out to be the 

 Huron. Glad were we to rest from our labors and grand was the 

 appetite for supper displayed by all hands: but there was no 

 snore going that night, we were all glad to turn in, and my wife 

 and Miss Ella bade us good night and sought repose in the state- 

 room, leaving us to turn in at our leisure. 



Glancing up above I found the anchor light burning like a 

 young lighthouse and everything carefully furled and snug; so 

 dropping on the transom I soon was snoring in company with my 

 brother, asleep on the other side of the cabin. 



We left New London the following Sunday, and as it was blow- 

 ing a gale went out under jin alone till we saw what sail we could 

 carry Lhrough the Sound. As we arrived off Sarah's Ledge we 

 felt the full strength of the gale, and I concluded we could carry 

 a two-reefed mainsail. This was soon set, and over the choppy 

 sea we glided for New Haven, keeping the Bartlett Reef Light- 

 ship to starboard. Nayade was again steered along the marked 

 chart course, which avoids all the shoals and reefs so profusely 

 scattered along the Connecticut side of tbe Sound. LTntil late in 

 the day the sea was very choppy and tantalizing to one in aburry 

 to get to New Haven. 



About 3 o'clock, being tired of the unending tumble and toss of 

 the waves, I ran the yacht for tbe Long Island shore, which 

 seemed nearest, for a harbor in which to rest for the night. 

 When I determined to adopt this course I was about off Ham- 

 monassett Point and struck the Long Island shore about Hasha- 

 mommuck Beach, where it was impossible for a boat with a draft 

 of mine to find a safe place to lay and 1 did not care to retrace 

 our course and go through Plum Gut to Gardiner's Bay. 



We had bai'ely turned our stern on these inhospitable shores 

 than the gale began to show signs of having exhausted its fury 

 and presently, with a puff of its old fierceness, failed us coinl 

 pletely. Here we drifted for some hours, the sails lazily flapping 

 as the yacht rolled in the sea: the tender constantly attempting 1o 

 stave in the counter, and kept us vigilamly watching its antics as 

 each wave threw it toward the Nayade. 



1 am the sort of captain who cannot whistle for the wind during 

 calms, first, because f am in nowise superstitions, and secondly, 

 because I am in too angry a mnod to purse my lips, or stand still 

 for ibat matter, and so, of course, I was in agony during this time. 

 I saw the shades of night falling, and we with several hours' sail 

 before us ere we could reach New Haven. Even thrt delightful 

 sunset, the beauties of which my wife was consianily calling to 

 my attention, could not calm me. A night run is very pleasant 

 if there is no mean harbor to enter, and If you have a crew large 

 enough to make the duties light on each; but when one man has 

 to stand the brunt, and I that man, once in a season is enough for 

 me. L. J. S.

[TO BE CONCLUDED.] 



''YACHT AND BOAT SAILING"-Se.venth Edition.- What- 

 ever may be the present condition or prospective fate of yachting 

 in the older and very limited aec ptance of the tern), as applied 

 to cruising and racing in decked sailing craft of perhaps 40ft. up- 

 ward, there can be no question as to the general prosperity and 

 brilliant prosptcts of yachting in its broadest sense, including all 

 manner of pleasure craft from the canoe to th«i sea-going steam 

 yacht. Types and classes have multiplied, models have improved 

 and constant advances have been made m all mechanical aud 

 material details, from a rigging screw or the bushing of a block 

 up to the quadruple expansion engine of the modern steam yacht. 

 One of the most encouraging features of this advance is the in- 

 crease and development of tbe smaller types of pleasure cratt, the 

 "wee barkies" which carry the great navy of Corinthian sailor- 

 men, a fleet which has grown with astonishing rapidity. In what 

 directions and to what an extent it has grown is easily seen on 

 comparing the two large volumes which makeup the seventh and 

 latest edition of Mr. Dixon Kemp's book witn the small volume 

 originally published in 1878, Tbe craft then described were to a 

 great extent crude and primitive from a yachting standpoint, in 

 many cases, such as tbe Itchen boats and the Brighton Beach 

 boats, they were working or fishing craft, taken up by yachtsmen 

 for want of something better, with rig and fittings changed by 

 degrees to fit them for new uses. Almost all pleasure craft may 

 be traced back to local working boats, and during the past fifteen 

 years the process of evolution has been most active, the results 

 being plainly manifest in tke new book. Localities which were 

 represented in the old work by a single primitive craft have con- 

 tributed to the new a variety of new designs, while large and 

 well-fitted classes are found racing as successors to a small fleet 

 of odd sizes and mixed rigs. With the increase in size, the ar- 

 rangement and scope of the original work has been retained 

 through each edition, but the various chapters, on selecting a 

 yacht, equipment, building, seamanship, racing rules, boat hand- 

 ling, etc., have been very thoroughly re-written. The portions 

 relating to practical handling, both of large yachts and open 

 boats, and especially the chapter on the Y. R. A. rules, are most 

 complete and practical. It is impossible to enumerate the many 

 craft described and illustrated, but every variety of sailing yacnt, 

 including some of the most modern raoers, is represented; while 

 steam yachts, ice yaobts, catamarans and canoes have received 

 equal attention with yachts proper. It is worthy of notice that 

 the book itself, in its successive editions, has been an important 

 factor in the improvement of the fleet, its many practical de* 

 tails and clear exposition of principles being of invaluable aid to 

 the Corinthian sailor, the amateur desltfner and the professional 

 builder, ^
