McNEAR (Si WILBUR 
separates the pilot house from the forecastle 
which has accommodations for four men. The 
boat has an auxiliary schooner rig to get her 
to some port in case of engine disablement. 
Her principal dimensions are: length over all, 
56ft., load waterline 50ft., breadth 12ft., draft 
4ft. 6in. and 6ft. 2in. headroom. She will carry 
a complete electric lighting outfit. 
Messrs. Swasey, Raymond & Page have an 
order for a 50ft. cruising launch of the deep- 
sea type that may enter the Bermuda race under 
the colors of a New York club. 
Much has been written of pirates and piracy 
in recent years; in fact, the subject has ever 
been one of absorbing interest alike to masters 
of fiction, painfully accurate historians and 
credulous seekers of unearned wealth. Only 
this winter an old rumor was revived to the 
effect that the redoubtable Capt. Kidd had once 
buried a large store of his ill-gotten plate, jewels 
and Spanish doubloons deep in the bowels of 
Deer Island. This island is situated in Boston 
Harbor and is owned in part by the Federal 
Government and in part by the City of Boston. 
It is widely known on account of its dense pop¬ 
ulation per square rod and is the more or less 
permanent home of some of our most active 
citizens. When this rumor was noised around, 
nothing but their well-known high standards of 
civic virtue prevented our Mayor and Common 
Council from going to the island forthwith to 
appropriate what might be found, their great 
specialty being appropriations. Circumstantial 
evidence points to the fact that some one went 
—but listen. 
At the dinner of the Cape Catboat Associa¬ 
tion, March 9, Mr. Winfield M. Thompson 
created intense excitement by announcing that 
he had recently, upon a dark night, been ap¬ 
proached by a very arrogant stranger who pro¬ 
claimed himself as the shade of Capt. Kidd and 
stated that he had of recent years taken great 
interest in following Boston yachting, and that 
from his observations he had concluded that the 
catboat sailors were men to his taste. He there¬ 
fore wished to present them with a token of his 
appreciation of their dare-devil skill and cold¬ 
blooded recklessness and had caused a bit of old 
Spanish plate that he had buried in Boston 
Harbor to be discovered by a gentleman who 
would deliver it to Mr. Thompson if he would 
undertake to represent Capt. Kidd in drawing 
up the necessary restrictions and in presenting 
the trophy to the association, which Mr. 
Thompson accordingly did and to the astonish¬ 
ment of all produced a rare old silver tray, suitably 
chased. It will be known as the “Capt. Kidd 
Plate” and will be awarded to the catboat scor¬ 
ing the greatest number of points in 1907 under 
the following system—one point for a start anc 
one for each campetitor defeated, but with a 
penalty of three points lost for every race in 
which the boat does not start. 
That the old buccaneer’s gift was acceptec 
with “bottoms up” goes without saying, but 
there is still much speculation as to who really 
found the plate and why Capt. Kidd selectee 
Thompson as his representative. When the 
world is so full of literary pirates it seems as 
though the Captain would have chosen one o 
them for his mouth-piece. My guess is that the 
Captain knows pirates too well to trust them; 
at any rate, in picking Thompson, he gave them 
all the “go by.” 
The Quincy Y. C. has notified the Corinthian 
Y. C. of its intention to challenge for the Quincy 
challenge cup, and will undoubtedly be repre¬ 
sented by the Hon. Charles Francis Adams 2d, 
who now owns the sonder boat Manchester, but 
will probably rechristen her. Other clubs are 
expected to follow with additional challenges, 
and it is hoped that the Southern Y. C. (New 
Orleans), which still owns the New Orleans, 
may join in the contest. If they could succeed 
in winning it they would create a great inter¬ 
state match that would do much for the sport.
