Scawanhaka-Coft Y« O Annual Race. 
OYSTER BAY— LONa ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, June 24. 
The Seawanhaka Corinthian Y. C. sailed its twenty- 
ninth annual race on June 24 over the usual triangular 
courses, on Long Island Sound, off the mouth of Oyster 
Bay. There was a good fleet of yachts present, though 
but two of four boats started in any one class. .The day 
was marred by a very sad accident, the drowning of two 
men from the catboat Dot. 
There was no wind in the mornhig, and- at noon the 
start was postponed. When the first signal was given at 
12:30 there was a promise of a S.E. breeze. Vigilant, in 
the lead on the first leg, caught the breeze first and set 
her spinaker. After she rounded the first mark she had a 
close reach to second in a freshening breeze that shifted 
to S.W. and headed on the last leg. The first round 
was timed :

Midge 8 29 14 
Dot, C. T. Pierce, in the 30ft. cabin class, sailed one 
round of the long triangle, and was on the last leg 
when the squall, a very heavy one of the usual sumrner 
kind, .struck the fleet. She was on a close reach, with 
boom to starboard, a couple of miles out from Center 
Island. The squall came from the N.E.. and the halyards 
were started while the yacht luffed up. The big mainsail 
goosewinged and in some way John Mitchell, a paid 
hand, went overboard. One of the Corinthians, Mr. Rock- 
wrell, went over at the same time, and both were left astern 
before the yacht was fully under control. The knock- 
about Midge was near at hand, and went to their aid, but 
she had parted one shroud and was partly disabled. The 
steam yachts Vergana and Tide came up and a long 
search was made for the missing men, but they could not 
be found. Dot was finally towed in to Riverside by 
Vergana. Mr. Rockwell, an old friend of Mr. Pierce, 
resided at Englewood, N. J., with his family, and was 
only on the j^acht for the day.
