The Last Sail. 
Did you ever notice the reluctant way in which 
a veteran smoker pauses before entering a build¬ 
ing to get three or four more whiffs of his 
precious pipe or cigar before knocking out the 
ashes or throwing it away. 
Well, that’s just the way yachtsmen act when 
the winter season approaches and thoughts of 
the cold, dreary months come to them. 
One more sail before he lays up—only one 
But oh! what a sail that is as a rule. For at 
that late season of the year the seas have more 
weight and the winds seem to double in velocity. 
Two boys owned a 15ft. flat bottom sloop, which 
they kept on the Hudson River. One worked 
as an office boy, the other just from school was 
free to wander as he chose and his choice was 
the water and a study of all the odd characters 
that infest the shore line. 
On a still October morning, the day the flag¬ 
man and his circle of cronies were to haul out 
the boys’ boat, the younger boy couldn’t resist 
the temptation of just a short spin half across 
the river and back. 
Experience to yachtsmen comes sometimes in 
small, parcels and sometimes in chunks. This 
time it came to the lad in chunks of wild screech¬ 
ing wind in the shape of a sudden squall, un¬ 
heralded over the steep banks on the west shore. 
Down went the helm and over went Porgie. 
Jib sheets were let go and peak slacked down, 
and for a few wild moments he had excitement 
in a variety of forms. The jib was rattling like 
a discharge of musketry and threatening to go 
to ribbons; the mainsail even more dangerous 
was laying the sloop over till water in buckets- 
ful came sousing over the cockpit rail and a 
short seething topped sea seemed to spring up 
instantly over the whole surface of the river. 
The youngster, minus hat and half soaked, 
crawled to where the halliards were made fast 
and let go everything. Then flat on his stomach 
on a two by four inch bowsprit, his toes steady¬ 
ing him on deck and both arms hauling the 
soaking jib out of the water he twisted the sail 
into a compact roll bound down with the loose 
down haul. 
With monkey-like alacrity he tackled the main¬ 
sail and tied in two reefs. Familiarity with his 
boat enabled him to move about lively enough, 
but one less used to her would have found diffi¬ 
culty in keeping his feet as the hull, settling 
suddenly into a hollow sea that just fitted her 
length, would recover with a jerk that sent hal¬ 
liards whipping about in confusion. 
Rattling and flapping, the shortened sail was 
hoisted taut and belayed, and inside of a few 
moments the sloop, under double-reefed main¬ 
sail onlv. was sweening through the whitecaps 
with the speed of a bird. Bows clear under she 
would dive, with spray going aft in showers to 
WHAT A SAIL THAT LAD WAS HAVING. 
run off his already saturated clothing in puddles. 
Water squelched in his shoes as he moved, 
water ran in streams dowm his back, and water 
in blinding showers flew at every plunge, but 
what a sail that lad was having. You couldn’t 
match his enjoyment in all the category of sports. 
His own mother would shudder could she see 
him. But he, self-reliant and wet, was as happy 
as mortal could ask to be. 
And it is the memory of such times, such sails, 
that bind a man to the sport. C. G. Davis.
