toen stuck to the canoe and were in a fair way to 
reaching shore in the eddy below the falls, when the 
elder brother, who had been steering, called to the other 
to tow the canoe ashore while he would swim there. The 
boy did so, and turned the canoe up to free it of water, 
then looked for his brother, and not seeing him, hurried 
back along shore, whistling and calH'ng. It was not until 
a man on shore told him the truth that he could believe 
his brother was actually lost, and that, too, within a few 
feet of land. Heartbroken, the boy went home on the 
next train. The father came to Mast Hope and offered a 
large reward for the missing bod}^ When he raised the 
amount to $500 there was a scramble among the natives 
and a row over who actually found the body, as though it 
had been that of a dog. That was July 29, four days after 
the accident. 
It was with sad hearts that we listened to this pitiful 
story of a young life snuffed out so quickly, for we felt 
that we almost knew these handsome boys who had hailed 
us so cheerily as they passed by our camp at Crooked 
Rift. A most peculiar thing happened when I was de- 
veloping the plates exposed during this cruise. I found 
the one of the Bensons a fine negative, but in transferring 
it from the fixing to a formaline bath, it slipped and fell, 
breaking into but two pieces, the rent leaving the dead 
brother's image on one part and his head on the other. 
The pieces were saved and a print made from them, 
though the emulsion frilled at the rent. It was a strange 
thing that this should happen as it did. 
That day our record was twenty-eight miles, twenty-six 
rifts and Cochecton Falls. The average speed was over 
six miles per hour. For the first time the mosquitoes 
troubled us at that camp; and our friend's cows, which 
fnrnished the baby with delicious milk, worried the Mate, 
who is afraid of cows, while a young bull frightened her 
still more, as he took a deep interest in the red hippo- 
campus, our club totem, which decorates the front eleva- 
tion of the pup tent. But he was foo young to be brave, 
and sundry stones fired at him now and then kept him at 
a distance. Perry D. Fkazer.

Shelter Island Y. C. 
SHELTER ISLAND HEIGHTS. 
Season of 1902. 
The Shelter Island Y. C. on Labor Day ended the most 
successful season since its organization in 1886. There 
has been more racing than ever before, events have been 
v/ell contested and much healthy enthusiasm has been 
aroused. Plans for next year are already under way. 
Prominent members have signified intentions of offering 
trophies for the different classes, and with new acquisi- 
tions to the racing fleet the campaign of 1903 should be a 
banner one. , 
The best racing of the year has been in the one-design 
class, constructed last winter by the Greenport Basin and 
Construction Company, from the lines of Mr. Theodore 
Brigham. Several of these boats were also turned out 
for the Ardsley Club and the Larchmont Y. C. They fit 
into class R and have proven speedy, seaworthy and fully 
up to expectations in every way. 
Contests for class R craft were begun on July 4, and 
continued every Saturday inclusive of the one preceding 
Labor Day. Eleven races were sailed and honors of the 
year went to Psi, belonging to Mr. Andrew Bancker, of 
Brooklyn. 
Several trophies were offered class R craft. Com. 
James Weir. Jr., presented a cup to be won by the class 
R boat scoring the greatest number of points in eleven 
races. Mr. C. P. Brigham gave a prize to the one-design 
boat getting the best percentage of victories, and Rear- 
Com. J. B. Edson put up first and second prizes to the 
value of $35 and $iS, open to competition on the same 
The owner of Psi has a collection of eight cups for the 
season of 1902. Included in these is a cup for each of 
her four wins in the class series, one for the class race 
in the open regatta on Aug. 16, one for the ladies' race on 
Aug 23, the Commodore's and Brigham cups. Beside 
the.se trophies, Psi carried off the first Edson cash prize. 
Arrow, a Crowninshield creation, belonging to Mr. J. H. 
Keim, finished second in the race for the Commodores 
cup, open to all class R boats. Arrow was but 2 points 
behind Psi for the season's competition. ^ ^ . , 
At the close of the races for the Edson and Brigham 
prizes, Psi and Harp were tied, each having four wins. 
The tie was sailed off on Sept. 6, Psi getting the victory 
The Regatta Committee of the club, which consisted of 
Frederick D. Kalley, chairman ; William H. Bradley and 
George F. Little, M. D., formed a sub-class R for boats 
just too small to fit into the regular class and put up a 
cup for the season's racing, to be contested for on the 
point system. Mr. J. L. Hutchison's Eelskin carried off 
first honors. Races were scheduled on the same dates as 
for class R. Eelskin, however, got a lead which could not 
be overcome, and the last three contests were not sailed. 
Mr. Otto E. Lohrke, owner of the class N boat, Senta, 
offered a valuable trophy for boats in his class, to be 
contested for in five races on the point system. The new 
Gardner & Cox craft, Kalmia, belonging to George Trow- 
bridge Plollister, won the cup. She had a commanding 
lead after four contests had been decided, so the fifth was 
dropped. Flosshilde, Mr. Oscar Weber, and Helen, Mr. 
Mortimer Fuller, were tied for second place in the series. 
The annual open regatta was sailed on Aug. 16. In 
class L, Effort, Mr. F. M. Smith, won from Mr. Cyrus F. 
Judson's Syce, on time allowance. Mr. Harry Maxwell's 
Leda carried off the honors in class M; Flosshilde, Mr. 
Oscar Weber, won in class N, and Mr. John Maxwell's 
Indian took first prize in class P. Yawl Scapha, owned 
by Mr. William Fallert, won in the mixed class and car- 
ried off the cup offered by Mr. John W. Weber, for the 
yawl making the best time over the course. Psi and Eel- 
skin carried off the laurels in class R, and sub-class R, re- 
spectively. The cup offered by Mr. Mortimer Fuller, of 
Scr^nton, Pa,, to the winner in classes K, L, M and N, all 
racing together in one class On time allowance, was won 
by Flosshilde. 
The annual ladies' race was sailed on Aug. 23. Kalmia, 
sailed by Mrs. Hollister, won in class N; Psi, with Miss 
Bancker at the tiller, took the honors in class R, and 
Winninish, sailed by Miss Plelen Roebhng, won in sub- 
class R. 
The annual meeting of the organization was held on the 
evening of Sept. 6 at the club house. Shelter Island 
Heights, at which the following officers for the ensuing 
year were unanimously elected : Com., James Weir, Jr. ; 
Vice-Corn., Arthur E. Whitney; Rear-Com., John W.

Pacific Intetclttb Yacht Association. 
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 
Tuesday, Sept, 9. 
The seventh annual regatta of the Pacific Interclub 
Yacht Association was sailed on Tuesday, Sept. 9. There 
was a good list of starters, and sixteen boats finished. 
The Crowninshield designed 30-footer Challenger 
showed her transom to the rest of the boats in her class, 
beating them on every point of sailing. 
The starting line was between two boats moored off the 
Powell street wharf. 
The course for the 21ft. class was from the start, dead 
to windward, around a stake boat west of Presidio Shoal, 
thence home to the start and finish range, a total distance 
of five miles. 
The 25ft. and special yawl classes went over this course 
to windward, thence to leeward around Blossom Rock 
Buoy, thence around stake boat two miles due north from 
Blossom Rock, and then home to the finish line, a distance 
in all of ten nautical miles. 
The 30, 36 and 44-footers Avent over the same course as 
the 25-footers, but kept on past the finish line out to the 
Pres;dio Shoal Buoy and back again, a distance of four- 
teen nautical miles. 
Barring a rather thick haze, which did not materially 
interfere with the sport, the day was an ideal one for the 
regatta. The starts, beginning at noon sharp and follow- 
ing at ten-minute intervals, were made in a rattlmg ten- 
knot breeze, which freshened as the afternoon wore on, 
imtil at the time the different boats finished it was blow- 
ing very hard. Most of the boats finished under lower 
canvas, and then had all the wind they wanted. 
In the 2ift. class Kittiwake won handily. Alice got 
.second place, and Loiterer was last. On the run home 
Loiterer's spinnaker would not break out, and consider- 
able time was lost in lowering and resetting the sail. 
Discovery led from the start in the 25ft. class. She 
v.'orked out to windward well and had a good lead at the 
weather mark. Her light sails were smartly set for the 
run home and she crossed a victor by nearly 18m, 
Gypsie had no difficulty in beating Arcturus in the 
special yawl class. 
In the 30ft. class Challenger got away from her com- 
petitors at the start, and was never headed, beating all 
the boats in her class easily on every point of sailing. 
Harpoon beat Edna and Emma in the 36ft. class. The 
Queen started, but had trouble with her mainsail and 
withdrew. Jessie E. and Pactolus also withdrew. 
The race in the 44ft. class was between Speedwell and 
Mischief. The former won by 6m. 30s. Ariel and Nep- 
tune failed to finish. 
The sloop Clara fouled the steamer Resolute, which was 
used as a judges' boat. 
The Regatta Committee was made up of T. J. Kava- 
nagh, Charles L. Snyder, G. T. S. White and George H. 
Warford; Timers, W. N. McCarthy and George B. Ed- 
gar ; Referee, Will Brooks. The summary :

Fifty-foot WaterHoe Steam Lattoch. 
In this issue there appears the lines and cabin plans of 
the steam launch Calumet, designed by Mr. B. B. Crown- 
inshield for Bishop Codman, of Maine. 
The yacht was designed for comfort and not for speed, 
nevertheless she makes eleven miles in ordinary run- 
ning. After a season's constant use the boat has proven 
satisfactory in every way. 
Calumet was built by Rice Bros., of East Boothbay, Me. 
She is equipped wth an Orr & Jennings engine of 70 
horse-power. 
Her dimensions follow :

Displacement 30,25olbs. 
The accommodations below decks are well laid out and 
quite roomy. The forward house is 12ft. long and 7ft. 
wide at the after end, and has 6ft. 4in. headroom. Ex- 
tending across the after end is a transom 2ft. wide. A 
door from this cabin gives access to the galley, which is 
just aft. The galley is 4ft. long and runs the full width 
of the boat. It is equipped with all the latest appliances 
and there is ample locker room for the storage of dishes 
and supplies. On the forward side of the galley directly 
under the transom in the deck house is a berth for the 
steward. Aft of the galley is the engine and boiler room, 
which is 12ft. 6in. long. In the after end of the boat is 
the owner's cabin. On each side of the cabin is a berth 
2ft. wide. Behind the berths are lockers for general 
stowage. Connecting with the cabin is the toilet room, 
which is 2ft. 6in. wide, and extends the full width of the 
boat. In the after cabin there is 6ft. 2in. headroom. 
There are lift, of deck forward of the pilot house. Un- 
der this deck is the forecastle, where there is accommoda- 
tion for two men. There is an i8in. waterway all around 
the cabin house which gives plenty of room to move for- 
ward and aft. The after deck is lift, long and 8ft. wide. 
Yacht Racing Association of 
Gravesend Bay. 
SEA GATE, NEW YORK BAY. 
Saturday, Sept. 20. 
The last regatta of the season in the Yacht Racing As- 
sociation of Gravesend Bay was held on the afternoon of 
Saturday, Sept. 20, off the Atlantic Y. C. It was the 
ninth race given by the organization this year. The con- 
test was under the immediate auspices of the Association 
itself for special prizes. The winners and the value of 
the trophies captured follow: Sunol, $30; Squaw, $20, 
Cockatoo, $20; Bronco, $15; Pebble, $15; Jig-a-Jig, $15; 
Boozie, $15. 
Second prizes, two-thirds the value of firsts, were 
awarded in classes where three or more started. The 
winners of second prizes were Bonito, Vagabond, Flying 
Fish, Kelpie and Rascal. 
Twenty-six yachts started and finished the race. There 
were no protests or accidents. All of the contestants con- 
ceded the contest the best ever {jiven by the Association in 
its two years of racing. 
It was a fitting end to the season, a struggle in which 
consistent plugging away was rewarded by victory in at 
least three instances, where craft which had not come out 
out the series racing with flying colors defeated old rivals 
in finished fashion. 
The special class N boat, Sc^uaw, took Caribou into 
camp, and the Marine and Field craft. Jig-a-Jig, was first 
in the one-design class. The East Bay catboat, Boozie, 
won from Rascal and Martha M., in much the same condi- 
tions as when she made her victorious entry into the As- 
sociation campaign at the Marine and Field Club race of 
July 12. In each case winners of first honors for the 
year were defeated. ■ 
The feature of the day was the clean-cut victory of 
Cockatoo, a winner in class P, and the first of the fleet 
sailing the inside courses to end the race. There was 
no sign of a fluke, the speedy raceabout making every leg 
a winning one. There was windward work aplenty, con- 
ditions to the liking of her Herreshoff model. The class 
P Crowninshield craft. Vagabond, second of the boats to 
end the journey, was beaten 2m. 12s. elapsed time. 
The 2i-footer, Bronco, scored first honors in class Q, 
and was third boat of the fleet on elapsed time. Flying 
Fish, which has of late improved, was only 25s. away, 
while Trouble crossed the finish exactly im. after Bronco. 
The wind at the start was E. by N. This gave the craft 
which journeyed out to West Bank Light and return, a 
reach out and a close fetch home. In special class M. 
Bess, belonging to Mr. Sydney Grant, of the Brooklyn 
Y. C, made her first Association start. Coming to the 
line with a good record, she was conceded by many a sure 
winner. Sunol, however, sailed an able race and won 
out from Bonito by 2m. 22s. Bess was defeated 4m. 3Ss. 
Craft covering the inside courses had a broad reach 
with booms to port to the Government buoy off Fort 
Hamilton, From there long and short windward hitches 
brought them to the stake boat off the Marine and Field 
Club. Then a close fetch to the spar buoy off Brooklyn 
Y. C, and a reach with booms to starboard led them 
home. The breeze was fresh and a number of the starters 
tied in reefs, some of which were shaken out ere the con- 
test was ended. 
In special class ' N, Sqiiaw gave Caribou her first de-
