into the yawl, and boat and men were soon far 
astern. 
Of? to the eastward a breeze was showing on 
the water and the fleet of vessels that had come 
out of New York ahead of us were all close- 
hauled, slowly crawling out to sea. Our tug 
held on until the lightships were out of sight 
astern, and by that time we were well up with 
the tail of the fleet, and I counted eight ships 
or barks besides our own. We all tallied on to 
haul the heavy hawser aboard and coil it down 
on top of the forecastle, when the tug gave three 
short toots of her whistle and then, after coming 
up alongside for his pay, the tugboat captain 
wished us happy voyage” and the tug soon 
dwindled to a dot of steam astern.

Ancient Lights. 
A very interesting article on ancient light¬ 
houses of England appears in the current num¬ 
ber of the Nautical Magazine, published at Glas¬ 
gow, Scotland. It tells of the days when lights 
were hung in huge iron cages called chauffers, 
and consisted of a wood or coal fire burnt in 
them. It also tells how the early lights on Eddy- 
stone were furnished by twenty-four candles.

her individual competitors. The summary fol-

There is but very little yacht building this 
winter owing no doubt to the money scarcity 
which now fortunately is over. Some yards have 
had to lay off most of their men, some have man¬ 
aged to get a few jobs that keep them going, 
but when spring comes there will be the same 
scramble to get the boats overboard.
