BAYVIEW YACHT CLUB. 
Jamaica Bay ruffed white to-day with a breeze 
that caused an occasional luff. A good entry 
list brought fine sport. Winners were: 
O11 both actual and corrected time Rover, 
owned by L. Soper, among the open catboats 
of Class M. In a special open catboat class the 
prize was taken by Bull Pup, and Surprise won 
among the knockabouts of Jamaica Bay. 
The power boat classes did not fill and as a 
result sailover prizes were scored in three of 
the divisions. The summaries :

OCEAN TEST FOR THE LUNDIN POWER 
LIFEBOAT. 
By C. G. Davis. 
I have seen a great many of the small trans- 
Atlantic boats, but never one that sho ! wed up so 
well for the work intended as the Lundin power 
life boat. 
The Abiel Abbott Low was only a small ordi¬ 
nary motor boat, and Caipt. Wm. C. Newman and 
his son had a very unpleasant trip across in July 
and August, 1902. 
On June 6, 1896, two men started to row across 
the Atlantic from the Battery, New York, to 
Havre, France, where they arrived August 7th. 
Capt. Andrews and Capt. Lawler both sailed 
dories single-handed across the Atlantic about 
1889 and 1891. In all there is a list of fifteen 
attempts to cross the ocean, most of which suc¬ 
ceeded. 
I saw the Low, saw the Nina, Capt. J. C. Voss, 
at the Battery when she arrived from Milwaukee 
before she started across, saw the yawl “Sea 
Bird” and the 40 ft. motor boat “Detroit” in 
which Tom Day and others crossed to Rome, 
Italy and St. Petersburg, Russia- I saw the Nor¬ 
ton that never arrived at the other side, the yawl 
Pandora that, after coming all the way from 
Australia, was swallowed up in the Atlantic 
somewhere; I knew Josh Slocum, who circum¬ 
navigated the globe single-handed in the yawl 
“Spray” in 1896, used to go aboard of her and 
talk with the old man—he and his boat were lost 
somewhere off the coast. Saw the Romania off 
in 1911 on her trip that laid her bones on the 
Nova Scotia rocks, but Capt. Weller and his 
crew were saved. I saw the Gregory that took 
the southern route by way of Bermuda and the
