FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nov. ii, 1911. 
opportunities for outdoor sports because of trade 
and commerce on the harbor and building on the 
land. Some members of that club have pur¬ 
chased 190 acres of land between Glen Cove and 
Roslyn, with a frontage on Hempstead Harbor 
of about 1,800 feet. The yachting committee is 
now at work preparing its plans. It is proposed 
to make a fair sized basin on the waterfront of 
the property in which small craft owned by the 
members can be kept during the season. In 
addition to this a storehouse is to be built with 
a small workshop adjoining, and there are to 
be ways so that yachts can be hauled out at any 
time for repair or cleaning and laid up on the 
beach in the winter. 
One serious drawback with yachting has always 
been the cost of maintaining a racing craft, no 
matter what its size. Even a small racing craft 
is a costly luxury, and it is proposed by the Glen- 
wood Country Club to help owners of yachts by 
enabling them to have work done on their vessels 
at moderate cost. Not only are members of the 
club to benefit by this, but members of other 
clubs will also be allowed to have their yachts 
cleaned, repaired or laid up at prices much be¬ 
low those charged at public yards. Of course 
members of the club will benefit by this more 
than outsiders, but if the plans of the committee 
of the new club are carried out as well as they 
expect, the charges for non-members will be very 
low, indeed. 
This club will in time make application to join 
the Yacht Racing Association of Long Island 
Sound. It will also pay attention to motor boat¬ 
ing, and the harbor when the Government has 
finished its dredging will be an ideal place for 
the motor boat men. In it, too, is the measured 
mile course, which was surveyed by naval officials 
at the request of the New York Y. C. It is ex¬ 
pected that the yachting members of this club 
will have everything in readiness by the opening 
of the club, which has been fixed for next May. 
Yawl Pandora Missing. 
“Not reported.” 
In all probability that is the heading under 
which the little 36-foot yawl Pandora and her 
two captains, George D. Blythe and Peter Ara- 
pakis, will be placed in the cold and unromantic 
annals of the maritime world. 
“Yawl Pandora. G. Blythe and P. Arapakis. 
Perth, South Australia. Left New York on July 
20, 1911, for London. Not reported.” 
That may be the full allowance of space in 
the registers of the sea for the little vessel which 
has been missing more than three months. She 
has just dropped out of the world after a series 
of adventures which made her a focal point of 
public interest for the three weeks she lay off 
the Atlantic Y. C., at Sea Gate. 
Then, one sunny July afternoon, her heavy 
sails were hoisted and the little boat started on 
the third leg of her trip around the world. That 
was the last. 
The Custom House received a letter last week 
from J. Forbes B’ythe, a brother of Captain 
Blythe, which was written from Coventry, Eng¬ 
land. In the letter Mr. Blythe asked the Customs 
officials to ascertain whether any transatlantic 
vessels had sighted the Pandora. 
The little craft reached New York the first 
week in July, after a trip up the South American 
coast. She was the property of Mr. Blythe and 
Mr. Arapakis, two South Australian sea captains, 
who had grown tired of shipping aboard lum¬ 
bering freighters or big square riggers. She was 
built under their supervision and from their 
plans, and a stancher and trimmer yawl never 
took the water. They loaded her with books 
and instruments and provisions for three months, 
and sailed from Perth two and a half years ago. 
After a number of lesser storms and beatings 
Pandora reached a small island in the lower 
Pacific, where she was reprovisioned for her 
trip around the Horn. Almost before she was 
out of sight of land she ran into a storm that 
turned her completely over. For an instant 
she was bottom side up, then righted, and 
there were marks on her cabin ceiling to show 
where the compass box struck and there were 
scars on Captain Arapakis’ head to show where 
that struck the top of the cabin, too. 
Pandora reached New York, battered, it is 
true, but still seaworthy. 
Then came the easiest stage of the voyage, the 
trip from New York to England in midsummer 
over the long course. Three months have passed 
and this stage is not completed. 
Yacht Club Elections. 
CAPE MAY Y. C. 
The members of the Cape May Y. C. at the 
annual meeting elected: Commodore, Peter 
Shields, owner of the largest cruiser in the fleet, 
Idaho; Vice-Commodore, J. Wallace Hallowell; 
Rear-Commodore, George A. Bilyeu; Secretary 
and Treasurer, A. C. Thomas; Trustees, Col. J. 
Warner Hutchins, Capt. John A. Walton and 
former Commodore J. Clifford Wilson. 
Among matters discussed was the erection of 
a new club house on the harbor. The plans for 
the house call for an outlay of $75,000. The 
members have subscribed liberally to the pro¬ 
ject, while one member has offered the land in 
a good location on the harbor. 
SODUS BAY Y. C. 
At the annual election of the Sodus 
Bay Y. C., at Sodus Point, N. Y., the 
following officers were unanimously selected to 
serve for the ensuing year: Commodore, H. M. 
Doubleday, Jamaica; Vice-Commodore, Arthur 
G. Sill, Sodus Point; Secretary and Treasurer, 
B. B. Parsons, Syracuse; Fleet Captain, W. H. 
Cook, Sodus Point; Fleet Surgeon, Dr. Kelly, 
Newark; Trustees, A. L. Foote, C. P. H. Vary, 
C. T. Bloomer, T. E. Elliott and Peter Kemper, 
Jr. Regatta, motor boat and house committees 
wiil be appointed later by the commodore. 
The membership has increased so rapidly that 
an enlargement of the club house was advocated 
in a special report of the building committee. 
It appears that the understanding has been cur¬ 
rent that new members were not wanted, thus 
keeping out many available yachtsmen who would 
have been welcomed into the club had they ap¬ 
plied for admittance. 
This misunderstanding has been adjusted, so 
that those desiring election to membership may 
obtain application blanks from any club member. 
CAPE VINCENT Y. C. 
This club has just completed its third success¬ 
ful season. At the recent annual meeting the 
following officers were elected: Commodore, 
F. W. Sacket; Vice-Commodore, E. E. Maxwell; 
Rear-Commodore, G. C. Sherman; Fleet Cap¬ 
tain, L. I,. Peo; Secretary, C. S. Holcombe; 
Treasurer, A. L. Dezengremel; Directors, C. T. 
Sacket, C. K. Green and B. S. Miller. Cape 
Vincent is on the River St. Lawrence two and 
a half miles below Lake Ontario. 
SAG HARBOR Y. C. 
The Sag Harbor Y. C.’s annual election re¬ 
sulted as follows: Commodore, David B. Wig¬ 
gins; Vice-Commodore, Dr. J. Richard Taylor, 
Brooklyn; Fleet Captain, William F. Kilgore; 
Secretary, William F. Youngs, Treasurer, G. 
Augustine Kiernan. 
Motor Boatiii 
The Dakotah’s Greatness. 
The installing of motors in the famous little 
racer Dakotah brings forth a mighty interesting 
story in the Yachtsman of London. The title of the 
story is, “The Dakotah, With Reminiscences of 
King Edward’s Mediterranean Racing Days.” 
“ ‘Time and chance happeneth to them all,’ and 
it has just been announced that that once really 
‘great’ little racing cutter, Dakotah, is to be con¬ 
verted into a motor auxiliary. The little Rhode 
Islander had been ‘laid away in lavender’ so long 
that she was beginning to be forgotten to- some 
extent by ail save students of the pastime. In 
the summer of 1894 she shared favor and popu¬ 
larity in Clyde waters with that greatest of 
public idols, the Prince of Wales’ cutter Britan¬ 
nia, and in the spring of the following year she 
filled as large a part of the stage at the Medi¬ 
terranean regattas as the Britannia and the new 
Fairlie-Glasgow first class cutter Ailsa.
