NORTH SHORE BREEZE 9 » 
“Ambergris” Found 
Among the Rocks. 
There has been much interest of 
late, especially along the Gloucester 
shore, in the finding of what is sup- 
posed to be “ambergris,” a much- 
prized substance, worth several 
hundred dollars per ounce, and the 
anxious seekers have _ this week 
been searching among the rocks 
along the Manchester shore. 
About 50 pounds of the material 
has been found all along the shore 
from Manchester to Rockport dur- 
ing the past two weeks. ‘“Amber- 
gris” is a morbid secretion found in 
a whale. According to the numer: 
ous finds of this material in various 
widely separated spots during the 
week there must be quite a school 
of sick whales in Massachusetts 
Bay. 
The Peri II. Won. 
_ Ina light southeast wind, which 
died down soon after the start was 
made, the club championship race 
01 the Manchester Yacht club 
sailed Tuesday afternoon. Only 
two yachts were on hand for the 
event, the Peri II., owned by Dr. 
Morton Prince, and the Avonset 
owned by George Wigglesworth 
dhe Peri II. took the lead- at the 
start and finished just within the 
time limit, thus winning the cham- 
pionship, while the Avoset finished 
twenty minutes later.

Class Like “Doris.” 
A class of boats like the 57-foot 
See... Doris,’ built for S.c Reed 
Anthony of Boston and Beverly 
Farms, at the Herreshoff works in 
Bristol, last winter, will be built 
during the coming winter. From 
the manner in which the plans for 
the class are being put forward, it 
is probable the first of the boats 
will be started in construction the 
latter part of this month. There 
will be four or five boats in the 
class, which will rate at 60 feet. 
Yachtsmen think a class like the 
“Doris” will lead the sport next 
year, as she is the best example to 
date of what can be done with the 
new rule in producing a fast cruiser. 
On the New York yacht club cruise 
the “Doris” developed speed that 
nobody suspected was in her, ex- 
cept, possibly, her designer, winning ° 
from racers in her class, boat for 
boat.
