FOREST AND STREAM. 
[May 25, 1907. 
and sea made up so fast that sail was reduced to 
three reefs and storm jib under which short sail 
but little headway was made. As one of the 
crew had to be landed somewhere that day to 
attend to business, Provincetown was headed for 
and Tanya looped the lop*around that fish-hook- 
shape end of Cape Cod to the anchorage, with alter¬ 
nate squalls of rain and hail pelting down and a 
heavy fog threatening momentarily to blot out 
every landmark, and anchored at 3 P. M. 
At 5:45 A. M. on Tuesday she again got under 
way with a strong northeast wind under the 
same sail she came in with and off Wood End 
with a fair tide full sail was hoisted. Highland 
Light on the Cape bore southwest about a mile 
distant at 9:40 A. M. At 11 A. M. the schooner 
Good Luck, with her “fisherman’s staysail” set, 
was passed off Wellfleet and three-quarters of 
an hour later Nausett Lights were abeam. The 
wind held steadily northeast and with a lumpy 
sea and overcast sky Pollock Rip, Shovelful 
Shoal and Handkerchief lightships were passed 
at 3:40, 5:15 and 6:15 P. M. At 9 P. M. Cross 
Rip Lightship was passed close aboard with a 
fair tide sweeping the yacht along at a great 
pace. East Chop Light on the shore was abeam 
at 10:55 P. M., and at 11:25 when she was off 
Tarpaulin Cove, Naushon Island, with Martha’s 
Vineyard to the south, the wind suddenly fell 
fiat, but the worst part of the passage around the 
Cape was now over and Newport was not far 
away. At 9 A. M. on Wednesday, May 8, after 
lying becalmed for five hours, a breeze sprang up 
and early that afternoon at 3 P. M. Tanya picked 
up a mooring in Newport Harbor, where all 
hands left her in charge of the ship yard people 
and came home to catch up in their business 
affairs. 
It was raining hard, when about 3:45 A. M. 
on May II, the four who were to bring Tanya 
from Newport to New Rochelle got off the Fall 
River steamer Puritan at Newport and sat in the 
waiting room waiting for daylight and a let up 
in the rain. Only one of the original crew was 
in this party, that was her owner, Mr. George P. 
Granberry, the others were, for short, Jack, Fred 
Tanya’s Trip. 
If it were not for the decidedly uncomfortable 
chill in the air a trip of this kind in a small boat 
would be a most enjoyable one. But when you 
have to keep a kerosene oil heater burning to 
keep from almost freezing and for variety hail 
and sleet squalls form drifts in the coils of rope 
and in the folds of the reefed sail, one might 
expect better weather by May 4, but that is what 
Tanya’s crew had to put up with in their trip 
from Portland, Maine, to New Rochelle. Such 
delays as the grocer failing to show up with 
the supplies are only to be expected, but that 
individual did not look forward to being roused 
out at night and compelled to open his store to 
give a crew of nondescript looking individuals 
what the driver had failed to deliver. 
At daylight, May 5, Tanya sailed out of Port¬ 
land Harbor under double reefs with a south¬ 
east breeze that freshened as the morning ad¬ 
vanced and caused the yacht to jump in the sea 
quite heavily. Cape Elizabeth was passed and 
Wood Island close aboard, when one of the crew 
in going forward in the cabin slipped on the 
wet oilcloth floor and was pitched across the 
fairly wide cabin, striking his head on the edge 
of the cabin side and his short ribs across the 
backboard of the bunks with such force as to 
carry away the board and completely knock out 
the man. I spite of his wanting to continue, the 
rest put back for Portland to get a doctor. With 
wind and sea both aft and rain accompanying it 
Tanya was back at anchor in an hour and a half. 
They were a pretty rough looking trio as the 
injured man and two others entered the doctor’s 
house and asked him to see if any boneswere 
broken, so perhaps that individual, who mistook 
them for longshore men, was justified in his 
opinion as he asked them, “Where was the row?” 
thinking they were strikers. No bones were 
broken." so at 6 A. M., May 5, the second start 
was made under full sail with a moderate west- 
southwest breeze and smooth sea. The log fails 
to reveal the identity of her crew, the entry 
reading as follows: “The invalid, the novice, the 
captain", the expert, and the lubber.” 
Portland Headlight was passed at 6:35 A. M. 
and Cape Elizabeth at 7:20 A. M. By this time 
the wind was very light and when it freshened, 
which it did about 10:30, it shifted to south- 
southeast. At 11:10 A. M. Goat Island was 
abeam and he who was designated captain, though 
really not the captain of Tanya, started yelling 
so hard for grub that by noon he had killed all 
the wind there was and dinner was eaten during 
a calm. It came out from the southwest, when 
a breeze did come up, and during the afternoon 
Tanya roared along in grand style. About 4 
P. M. the wind worked to the southward at sun¬ 
set, when the yacht was about half way between 
the Isle of Shoals and Thatcher’s, and Tanya 
stood off shore until about 9 P. M. when it again 
shifted to the west so she could lay her course 
south-southeast. It held true from this quarter 
all night and just strong enough to put the lea 
rail down flush with the sea. 
At daylight next morning, May 6, Highland 
Light was made out about eight miles off and 
abeam. It w'as a light windy hazy day upon the 
sea and what air there was backed to’ the south¬ 
ward, dead ahead. It was while lying here be¬ 
calmed one of the crew impatiently remarked:

FRED S TRICK AT THE TILLER. 
"Let’s go sailing in the dinghy,” but he forgot 
for the moment it took wind to move even that 
light craft that had a full sailing outfit, mast, 
sail, centerboard and rudder. Fortunately for 
the crowd there was one man who liked to see 
things kept clean, and for his continual injunc¬ 
tions to “wipe up that water” or “clean up that 
dirt,” etc., he was nicknamed the house com¬ 
mittee and a piece of mosquito netting, the only 
available swab aboard, was called the “automo¬ 
bile veil.” 
In the afternoon the breeze steadily increased
