NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
_A Day on the Briny Deep. 
“Far from the mad’ning crowd” 
and ‘‘ Rocked in the cradle of the 
deep’ for a whole day on one of the 
finest of the North Shore yachting 
flotilla, was an opportunity afforded 
but a few on Tuesday of this week, 
and despite the inclement tendency of 
the weather, the day’s outing was a 
delightful one. 
It was the annual outing given by 
Captain Welden of Mr. S. Parker 
Bremer’s yacht Velthra to his friends. 
No matter how high the winds blow 
or how “swell’’ are the waves, the 
Velthra, with the good captain in 
charge, stands up well and a good 
time is always in store. Tuesday’s 
outing brought forth a genuine sur- 
prise, for few of the guests ever 
dreamed they would run up against a 
battleship before they reached home. 
They could expect almost anything on 
such an occasion, but this was the last 
thing expected. 
As the Velthra was playing hide-and- 
seek with the big waves off Thatcher’s 
island in the late afternoon, and many 
of those on board were undecided as 
to just what proportion of their dinner 
they would leave to the fish in the 
water beneath them, the big white 
bulk of the Brooklyn loomed up, and 
nothing more fitting than a brush 
They were 
neck and neck when Half-way Rock 
was reached, five or six miles beyond. 
The party started out from Man- 
chester about 9.30 in the morning and 
a run was made over to Marblehead 
first, where the old yacht Jubilee 
proved an interesting spectacle to 
many. From there they went to 
Salem harbor and here anchor was 
thrown over while an enticing dinner, 
composed of lobster, fish chowder and 
all the “‘ fixin’s,’’ prepared by Steward 
Chase, was partaken of. In the after- 
noon a run was made down to Glouces- 
ter and Thatcher’s island, the party 
arriving home about 6 o’clock. 
The guests included: L.O. Lations, 
I. M. Marshall, Chas. Hooper, E. S. 
Knight, S.S. Peabody, S. L. Wheaton, 
F. G. Cheever, Frank Crombie, Frank 
Dennis, Dr. Glendenning, Albert 
meters, Jas, Crocker, P. A. Boyle, A. 
C. Needham and F. C. Rand.

Mr. and Mrs. Torrey returned a 
week ago from a delightful stay of 
seven weeks in Quebec. They thor- 
oughly enjoyed the Canadian air, they 
said, but were more than pleased to 
get a whiff of North Shore “breeze ”’ 
each Tuesday night when the mail 
coach arrived. 
Eight of the local gardeners at- 
tended the meeting in Boston Tuesday 
evening of the Garden and Florist 
club, and were admitted into the mem-
