MANHASSET BAY BUGS——DESIGNED BY MR. C. D. 
when we had to anchor in the pretty harbor of 
Glengarife, close to Eccle’s Hotel. The scenery, 
of course, was splendid, but we both found it 
tiresome on land, and were always glad to leave 
the shore for the yacht. There appeared to be 
any number of hotels, and a good sprinkling of 
tourists. After two days there we sailed for Ban- 
try before a rattling breeze, and anchored there 
eff picturesque Bantry House. There we. stayed 
for four days, enjoying more hospitality, and in- 
dulging in a little racing with another yacht of 
similar tonnage. Bantry Bay is peculiar for its 
absence of tide, a yacht scarcely swinging to it. 
Our next point to make was Baltimore, which 
we did after an exhilarating sail under shortened 
canvas. We found the race off the Mizen Head 
unpleasant, and these turbulent currents would 
be dangerous to a small boat. A friend of mine 
who owns a smart three-tonner, thinks little of 
negotiating these headlands, but it cannot be very 
_ safe. On this trip we made the eastern channel 
of Gascanane Sound, which saved the journey 
round Cape Clear. We passed Crook Haven and 
Skull, two useful harbors. There is a northern 
‘entrance from Roaring Water Bay into Baltimore, 
but it is a difficult one. We found it hard to turn 
to windward into the narrow southern entrance 
to Baltimore. The town is only a small place, con- 
sisting of a few houses and a fishery school, de- 
spite its conspicuous marking on the map. 
Next day we headed for Queenstown in nearly 
a northerly gale and nasty rain storm which lasted 
all the way. We did a great passage to Roche’s 
Point, but took a long time beating from there 
up to Queenstown. The Royal Cork Y. C. made 
us very comfortable for a few days, and then we 
departed toward Youghal. There we indulged in 
pleasure trips and some sea fishing. Youghal 
without its strong tide and difficult bar would 
be an ideal yachting harbor, for it is an amusing 
place in the summer. One day V. indulged in a 
race with a cutter of his against another small 
open sailing boat. Nasty squalls were blowing 
from the north, and the little boats had a bad 
time of it; but V. won, as the other was driven 
on to a lee shore, and had to anchor. 
Truly sorry were we when the time came for 
the yacht to be laid up in her winter quarters, and 
we are both agreed the southwest coast of Ire- 
land, with its bays, harbors and unrivalled scen- 
ery, is well worth another cruise in a 20-tonner.— 
L. L. H., in London Field. 
[It may be interesting to note that the ground 
covered by this cruise begins near where the first 
landfall is made on the coast of Ireland, on a 
passage from New York to Liverpool.—Ep.]
