"Eco Lark V.'" ..... D.N.F.

Could any one wish for a closer finish after about 80 miles of sail-

bit above their mark tho', as a re-ing, and brothers, can you spot in

sult, they should have been able to square off and set their pîn- nakers This I believe some of them did.

At Macao.

The mark at Macao was the best that has yot been set and the thanks of the competitors go out in full measure to the Captain of the Port of Macao, Commander Almeida Pinheiro, for the arrangement he made in this connection. The lights used at night were most efficient and wore visible about a milog

off.

The Southernors had light airs from about 1 mile S.W, of Green Island to the Light in Cheung Canu Chanel but from there to the south point of Lantau made good time. Curlew," the shorteat water-line boat of the lot, probably. footed it the fastest and cequently missed the doldrums at Lantao point and this gave her lend of about 3 hours at the mark. "La Cigale and "Wanderer" closed in on "U. and I" about here, I believe, whilst "Isis" and "Sealsrk V." also be- erme up on their handicap re- lative to the others of this portion of the float. The breeze, at night fall gradually freshened and after rounding the mark was a good force 3 out of the North to North by West enabling ballooners to be earried And the main sheet to be alightly checked. The order and tiines of rounding the mark were as follows: "Curlew (18-15), "La Cigale " (21°-01'). U. and I. (21-10′), Wanderer (21°-25),, "Isis" (22-00). and Scalark V." (22-10),

Equall Hits Cigale,"

A squall which hit "La Cigale on the homeward run caused skipper Croucher to hand his tops in quick time and take in his balloon fib. to save his tormast. The weather went light for most of the craft between Saw Chau and Cap

·Sing Muu but the ebb tide was of great help to all except Healärk V. who did not and sucri favourable winds from Saw Chau to Cap Ring Mun, and consequently was meating. the young food on her journey through the pass.

The Finish,

Up the harbour came the South- orners to find the Northern Beat waiting for the wind they were bringing with them; then started the last skirmish for the line with "U, and I gaining a seconds verdict over: "Axuma, Curlew " just a bare minute behind for third place and only seven seconds: be tween the next three to finish. Then followed"Tavy II.," the long handicapper of the fleet, woll and truly sailed by her skipper Lieut. 57 (Continued on nex Column)
