Some News and a Little Gossip. 
The Fife designed schooner Waterwitch, 
owned by G. Cecil Whitaker, will not visit these 
waters this season. He stated in London this 
week that it would be impossible for him to 
accept the invitation of the New York Y. C. this 
year, and this seems to imply that he may come 
with his yacht next season. It is late in the year 
to plan to make a trip across the Atlantic. The 
yacht is . only just now having her first trials 
under sail. To bring her here would mean dis¬ 
mantling and putting on a sea rig. Then there 
would be three or four weeks lost on the ocean. 
Here it would take two weeks to fit the yacht out 
again, and by that time the season would be 
more than half over and Waterwitch would not 
be in _ racing trim. Then, too, it is coronation 
year in England. Many handsome prizes are 
offered for the yachts, and it is Mr. Whitaker’s 
ambition to win a coronation cup. He will have 
mee t some of the best sloops in commission, 
and they are fast, too, and if he can win, his 
boat will be we’l tried and wiil be in fine fettle 
to come here and race next season, should he 
decide to cross the Atlantic. 
Westward is home again and very soon she 
will be in racing trim. Just when she will first 
race has not been announced, but it is possible 
that she will be ready for the race of the Eastern 
Y. C. from New London to Marblehead for 
which Commodore Clark has offered a cup valued 
at $1,000. Already several entries have been re¬ 
ceived by the regatta committee for this event 
Among them are William E. Iselin’s Enchantress 
Morton F. Plant’s Elena, Commodore F. Lewis 
Clark’s Emera'd, E. Walter Clark’s Iro’ita and 
Dallas B. Pratt s Sea Fox. In the smaller classes 
are H. E. Morss’s Vision, W. S. Eaton’s Taor¬ 
mina, E. J. Bliss’s Venona, Daniel Bacon’s 
Avenger and Chester C. Rumrill’s Adventuress. 
This race,will be started at 1 o’c'ock from a line 
off Sarah’s Ledge at the entrance to the harbor 
of New London on July 1 and the finish will be 
at Marblehead Rock. 
Captain Joshua Slocum, the famous New Bed¬ 
ford skipper, who has cruised around the world 
in the 35-foot sloop Spray and has published a 
book on the trip, has been heard from in an in¬ 
direct manner from the Orinoco River, South 
America. He left New Bedford last November, 
headed for South America, and a few days later 
a southeast gale created the fear that he had 
been lost. No word has been received from him 
since that time, and many have been of the be¬ 
lief that he had been drowned. 
Captain Slocum himself has not been heard 
from, but through the officers of a steamer, 
which got word from the natives along the head¬ 
waters of the Orinoco River, it has been learned 
that a boat with a single white man in it, answer¬ 
ing the description of the Spray, has been seen 
where no white man ever appeared before. 
Captain Slocum had cherished the desire of 
going^ up the Orinoco River and down the Ama¬ 
zon for years before he finally made the start. 
He had heard the stories of many attempts in 
which those who tried it had been killed by hos¬ 
tile Indians and was desirous of exploring the 
country. He started alone. The fact that the 
appearance of a white man on the river has 
created enough interest among the natives for 
the news to reach the coast gives rise to the 
belief that Captain Slocum is accomp ishing his 
task and may unexpectedly turn up within a few 
months at the mouth of the Amazon or at some 
South American city. 
Atlantic Y. C 
Suelew, the Class Q yacht, owned by Commo¬ 
dore E. F. Luckenback, and built from designs 
by C. D. Mower, won the race of the Atlantic 
Y. C. in her class last Saturday off Sea Gate. 
It_ was a light weather day and a shift in the 
wind rather spoiled the course. The yachts were 
sent from Sea Gate to Bensonhurst, Fort Hamil¬ 
ton, Buoy 7 and home, 11.5 miles. The wind was 
southwest, but it hauled ater and the windward 
leg became a close reach. Grayjacket took the 
lead on the first reach, but down the wind to 
Fort Hamilton, Suelew took a commanding lead 
with Soma second and Spider third. Reaching 
to the third mark, Alice moved up into second 
place, and on the last leg before the wind, Suelew 
just managed to get home first by 16 seconds. 
In Class S, Dr. Atkinson’s Cyric defeated 
Wink by more than 2 minutes, and M and F 
was third. Joy finished first in the handicap 
class again, but was beaten on corrected time by 
I a Cubana. Merry Widow won in the knock¬ 
about class and Skeets won the race for sailing, 
dinghies. _ Three in this class were disqualified 
for starting wrongly. The summaries:
