Kaye Den made his last attempt on the record on Lake Garda on May 27, but after touching only 102 m.p.h. he was forced to abandon all further attempts until he had 'dis-. cussed modifications to the craft with Lord Wakefield. Miss England III, was consequently shipped to England without Don being able to compete in the D'Anuzzio Trophy Race.
It was a bitter disappointment to Kaye Don who said:
"I wish the boat builders would think less of my life and more about speed which is what I want in a boat," "After ali, risk is my stock in trade.” Don said he was satisfied with his engines.
