ran down that schooner, when I am positive there 
was at least a foot and a half of sea room be- 
tween us. 
That was the hardest beat to windward I 
think I ever had, and the older boys comforted 
us every chance they had with details of the 
licking that was coming to us when we arrived 
home. I forgot to mention that in our haste 
to leave Riker’s Island we left all our gear on 
the beach. I have often wondered if it drifted 
away with the tide, or if someone came across 
it, and wondered what Indians had been sailing 
with a rig like that. As for the licking, the 
clothes found down in the ice house, the bor- 
rowing of the sheet, why—well, draw the cur- 
tain there. But what happened behind that cur- 
tain may have impressed my first sail upon my 
memory. Anyhow, I remember it well enough.

New York thirties by their designer has never 
lacked an item necessary for comfort, which goes
