The Larchmont Yacht Club was having a celebration and there were lots of boats in there. At 10:30 they 'dressed ship.' It was a beautiful sight. Papa went ashore and got some mail. Then Jero[?] went ashore to get some provisions. They had a store in the basement of the clubhouse. When we went out of the harbor we sailed all through the fleet. The Commodore\u2019s boat was dressed with a lot of little Larchmont flags and one great big one that reached between the fore and main masts. We went up to East R[iver] and saw all the sights. Went under the new bridge and Brooklyn Bridge and into the Navy Yard. Saw the Statue of Liberty in the distance. There was a strong west wind at New York but when we got back into the Sound again the wind was very light easterly. As we came out of New York we went up Harlem R[iver] a little way. We saw quite a number of yachts, some off the yacht club and some off Ratsey\u2019s and sundllocies[?] Shop.

We went over to Larchmont and some of the boys went ashore to mail some letters and get a program of the race. Then we sailed around the harbor and got some water. We saw the Florence<\/i> [#208p<\/a>] and the Alerion<\/i> [#446s<\/a> Alerion II<\/i>] [both owned by the Alkers who would later own #626s<\/a> Alera<\/i>].

The wind was very light the last part of the time so we did not stay for the finish. There were ever so many other boats, and they looked so pretty with the bright sun, blue water, and the green land in the distance, with soft cottony clouds floating overhead. After we left the race, we sailed along the Long Island shore. I did not have any idea that Long Island was such a beautiful place. There are a great many fine houses built among the trees, and there are new ones just being built. We went into Oyster Bay and sailed all through it. We saw the Mayflower<\/i>, the president\u2019s boat, and I suppose we saw his house although we did not know which one it was. Saw this one yacht club. I should think that Oyster Bay would be a fine place for small boats. Sailed along the shore and saw a place where they had lots of that white gravel. Then we went into Huntington Bay and into the town of Northport where we anchored. We went to shore to get provisions. Sidney, Francis and I stayed in the launch and sailed around the harbor. It is a very small place but they have two yacht clubs (There was a great deal of rivalry between them), a power house, electric cars. They were fixing up a lot of old schooners. Altogether it is a very busy place. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

The conductor and motorman were both very young, and when we got to the cars, they were loading it up with kindling wood, and after we had gone a little way, they stopped the car and he threw out the kindling wood and somebody gave him a box with some lunch in it. He was eating pie and running the car at the same time! The car went very fast. It was a new road that had only been used five months and so it was rather rough. We went out to a station of the Long Island railroad and back again. On the way there Aunt F and Miss Lena saw some butterfly weed and so asked the conductor if he would stop the car when they came back so they could pick some. He said he would, so when we got there, they stopped the car and got out and picked some. Whoever heard of stopping the car to get out and pick flowers! The cars went very fast coming back. It was downhill most of the way. When we got off the car, Mama said that she would like to get some seeds of the butterfly weed and the motorman said that he would try to get some and send them to her, so she gave him her address. We went down to the Yacht Club landing, and were rowed off to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>]. Papa and Nat were off sailing in the launch. When they came back, we started off. In the clubhouse we saw a notice[?] made of gold shells all strung together. We arrived at Port Jefferson early in the afternoon. We got into the launch and sailed all around the harbor. There was lots of boats there, most of them out of commission. A great many boats are kept there during the winter. Mr. Into had lived there one winter in a boat. We saw the Tranquilo<\/i> [#170p<\/a>] there. And a large, five masted schooner was being built. Her hull was finished but she was not rigged. We saw a schooner just like her at Bridgeport when we went there, just ready to be launched. We heard today that she was a sistership to this one and when they launched her a few days ago, she fell over and was so much injured that she cannot be repaired. After we went off in the Roamer<\/i> again, I put over a fishing line but could not get any bites. I left it over and was sitting there, listening to some reading, when suddenly the line began to jerk and I thought that there was a very large eel on it. The line was very light and I was afraid it would break so I pulled it up slowly and when it got to the top of the water I found that there was a dogfish on it. We called Mr.Into, but the line broke before he came. Then he rigged a heavy line for a fish and we put it over after a while we felt more bites and finally we caught something. We have a nap[?] and found quite a good sized (?) fish on it. Charlie pulled him up on deck, and then the hook came out, and we had quite a lively time. He brought his, (?) down on the deck two or three times very hard. Finally, Nat and Charlie (?) him and put him over the side and after a while they let him go.

It was very warm onshore but as soon as we got off we had a fine breeze. It was not rough outside. We arrived at New London about 4. There were lots of yachts in there. We sailed through them and then anchored and saluted the Commodore. At 5, all the captains went onboard the flagship. It was quite a sight to see the boat all covered with men and surrounded with small boats. In the evening there were some fireworks at the Pequot House. Some of it was very beautiful.

Quite a number of the boats passed us and they were heeled way over. It was a beautiful sight. When we went around the end of the Cape it was quite rough. We finally got into the harbor and found that a good number of the boats were already in there. Isabel and Aunt F went ashore. Provincetown is a very queer place. We landed at a very long wharf and then went ashore and walked through the town. The streets are very narrow and there was just about room for two carriages to pass. And a narrow boardwalk for the sidewalks on one side of the street only. We went up a sand hill and got a good view of the harbor. Then we did some shopping[?] and came back aboard.

She was made by a French prisoner of war in England. Somebody bought her and gave her to the museum. We also saw a model of the first line of battleships built in America.

Aunt F wanted to see a friend there. We had a beautiful ride across Cape Ann but after we got out of the car we had to walk quite a way and it was rather warm. Annisquam is a beautiful place, [has] a fine bathing beach and everything. When we got back to Gloucester we had some soda water ready. While we had been ashore some of the boys went onboard the bark. They said that she was fitted up very nicely inside and was very clean. She was Italian and the captain could only speak a few words of English. But he was very polite and let them go all over her. She had a cargo of salt. As soon as we were onboard [#215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i>] we got underway and sailed along the coast to Boston Harbor. We saw a great many boats in there and the old Constitution<\/i>. Then we went to Quincy and saw the 7-masted schooner Thomas W. Lawson<\/i>. Then we anchored off the Hull Yacht Club. The Dreamer<\/i> was quite nearby us. Some of our party went ashore. In the evening we heard a great deal of noise from the yacht club which did not sound as if it was a first-class place. The courtesy of the club was extended to Papa and his guests.

After lunch we went ashore and all sat on Plymouth Rock, and then we went to Pilgrim Hall. All saw all the things there, some of them were very interesting. In the basement they had the remains of the wreck of the Sparrowhawk<\/i>. She was wrecked some time in the seventeenth century. They also had a number of old Indian things. Then we went to Burial Hill. It is a very interesting place. We saw the graves of a great many of the pilgrims and the native people of that time. There are a great many thousand graves and about 3000 gravestones. When they dig a grave now, they are sure strike one or more graves. The place is not used much now. Right at the foot of Burial Hill there are two churches, both descended from the original church. But it seems that the church split early in the 1800s and part of them turned Unitarians. And they took all the church documents by a majority of one. That one Church kept religion and the other the papers. Plymouth Rock is not now in its original position. It has moved and has had quite a journey. The town of Plymouth was going to build a wharf and they decided to build it right over where the rock was. Then an old man 90 years old and a grandson of one of the Mayflower<\/i> pilgrims heard of it. He was taken down to the Rock in his chair and delivered an oration to the people to such an effect that they moved the rock up into part of the church. Then, at the time of the Revolution, it was moved in front of the courthouse to inspire the soldiers. When Pilgrim Hall was built they were going to move it there, but on the way it was dropped and broke in two. Then the people came to their senses and moved it down to the original sight[?] only it is right[?] up[?] and it has remained there ever since. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

We saw a jaw of a sperm whale 17 ft long. Models of whaling boats, camels, and a great many interesting curiosities that had been brought home in whaling ships. We also saw a jaw of a sperm whale that had been cut in fighting when he was young. It was all cut around. I had first been reading the Cruise of the Cachalot<\/i> by Frank T. Bullen and it was very interesting to see all the whaling things which I had been reading about. Then Isabel and I went to the Historical Society and Mama and Aunt F went to ride. The historical rooms were in the old Quaker Meeting House and they still had some of the (?) left. We saw a great many interesting old things in there. Some old (?) etc. Pictures of some of the old captains, pictures of whaling ships, etc. And some very interesting old log books. We expected to meet Papa and the boys but did not, so we went into some of the stores and looked around. Then we went down to the landing and waited there. (I forgot to say that this morning when we got up we found the Neckan<\/i> [#179p<\/a>] in the harbor. It is queer that we should happen to meet at that place.) While we were waiting at the landing, Mama and Aunt F came down and they began to talk with the old Captain who was there. He talked very well and told us some interesting things about Nantucket and other places he had been to. Then Papa and the boys came down and they hailed the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] and Mr Into came ashore in the launch and took us off. After lunch Aunt F and I went ashore and took the train for a concert. There was a small locomotive and funny old cars. You could feel the bed give as we went along. The cars were full. They do not go straight across the island but go on a roundabout course. The last time that we were here, the boys saw a lot of prairie dogs as they crossed the island. But this time they did not see any. We found out afterwards that they had all been exterminated. When we got to the concert, we had a great time finding the bathing beach. And then we could not find anybody to rent the bathing houses from so we helped ourselves. The people must be very honest around here as they left the bathing houses all open and leave bathing suits and towels hanging on the outside of the houses. The water was fine. The shore goes down steep like the Martha\u2019s Vineyard shore. The waves were not very high but they came in with a great deal of force. There were a few other people in bathing besides us. On our way back we stopped at a gift shop and got some things. Once we got back we found that the Neckan<\/i> had gone and the Susquehanna<\/i> had come in. In the evening Mama and Aunt F went ashore to hear a lecture given by somebody Mama knew out west. We had fun with Charlie in the evening also. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

It caused quite a good deal of excitement. In the evening, Grace came down to see us. While we were sitting there, we saw a great light on Wally Street.

We took Uncle Francis back to Larchmont and then started for home with all sails set and a strong northwest wind. In the race this morning the Neola<\/i> broke her mast. We saw the yacht American and the three-masted schooner yacht Atlantic<\/i> off Larchmont. We also saw the bald-headed schooner headed up the Sound. We went along very fast with the help of the wind. We went faster than we have ever been before, till after dinner when we anchored near Charles Island for the night. The northwest wind made the boys very lively and we had quite an exciting time. The wind went down and it was beautiful in the evening. Francis went below and soon appeared on deck with his nightgown on, [and] much to our surprise, he pulled it off and my bathing suit was underneath. Then that came off and Carl\u2019s pajamas were underneath, and then his own clothes. He was very funny.

  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1904 #215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i> log book:] Damp and cloudy this morning. Wind southwest. All went ashore after breakfast. The boys in the Neon<\/i> [#190301ep<\/a>] the rest of us in the launch. We had not gone very far when we were met by Captain Allen who had a model of a lifeboat which he showed us, [and] which he had invented. He explained every detail to us. He must have thought about it very much for he seemed to have provided for every emergency. He also showed us a rig to stop leaks in vessels\u2019 sides which was very ingenious. He was very talkative and got quite excited when he was explaining them to us. Then he took us down to the shore and showed us a large lifeboat he had built and sailed to Newport, Providence, New London, Boston, and Gloucester. It made no difference to these life rafts which side they sailed on for they are made to sail either side up. Then the boys took him off in the Neon<\/i> to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] and back. Then we all got onboard we started off up the Bay to see a race. The wind blew very hard southwest, but we did not feel it till we turned around right after dinner. Then we rolled and pitched a good deal. Some 30-footers and 21-footers raced. They were reefed and they jumped around a good deal. When we left, the Radiant<\/i> [#548s<\/a>] was ahead of the Quakeress<\/i> but the Quakeress<\/i> was gaining. We started for Woods Hole at 3:30. We pitched a good deal and got some water on deck. The (?) was at Woods Hole and we anchored right astern of her. Then we went ashore to the Fish Commission in the Neon<\/i>. There were sharks and dogfish in the tank outside, and inside the usual variety. It was rather dark to see them well, but Clarence was very much interested, not remembering of seeing them before. The Fish Hawk<\/i> was at the wharf. It was very damp in the evening but the wind did not blow so hard. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1904 #215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i> log book:] Left Woods Hole after breakfast and started to the eastward. It came up foggy after we left Nobska Light, but when we got to West Chop it lifted. There were a good many schooners at Vineyard Haven. The Merchants and Miners steamer H F Dinsmore<\/i> passed us off Cottage City. She was going along at a fine speed. It was very smooth in the Sound and we towed the Neon<\/i> [#190301ep<\/a>] without her cover on. Arrived at Nantucket at 12. Papa and the boys took Neon<\/i> and went in bathing. While they were ashore the steamer Nantucket<\/i> came in and stayed about 15 minutes then went out. The Gay Head<\/i> is also at the wharf. When the boys came back, Francis had a dreadful headache and could not eat any dinner. But after we were through, he came up with a toad tied around his head much to our amusement. After dinner the Neon<\/i> took the launch in tow and we went up to the head of the harbor about 6 miles and through the Haulover (which was broken through recently) and outside. We sailed down towards Sankaty Head about a mile and then went back and landed inside. The boys went in bathing and we in wading. The beach was [of] rather coarse sand which hurt our feet when we walked across, and also fine. There were a number of mackerel gulls on the point. Got back to Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] soon after 6. Have been reading American Merchant Ships and Sailors by Abbot. It says that a Nantucket whaler was the first vessel flying the Stars and Stripes to enter a British port. Weather Fair.

  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1904 #215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i> log book:] The Gay Head<\/i> went out about 7 this morning. The boys went in swimming before breakfast. After breakfast we went ashore in the Neon<\/i> [#190301ep<\/a>]. Did some errands and then went to the Historical Rooms. We saw a great many old relics of Nantucket. Pictures and metals[?] of whales. A beautifully made model of a whaleboat with all the gear onboard. They were the logs of whaleships and a stamp like this [sketch of a whale] for every whale caught. They were portraits of old Nantucket and old lanterns, etc etc [and] also things that went through the fire of 1846. The Historical Rooms was the old Quaker Meeting House and they had some old Quaker remnants[?] etc. After we had been there some time we went to the old windmill. On the way we passed some fine old houses, nearly all of them had a lookout on top. The windmill was on high land and there was a fine cool breeze there. The mill was built in 1746. Captain Grant, the last whaling captain left in Nantucket, had charge. He said he was 90 years old but did not look as old as that. He went to sea when he was 11, was master of a whaler at 29, and had been around the globe six times. His wife, who is now living, has been on many voyages with him and his three children were born on the Pacific. He had a few harpoons and a lance that he showed us. Then we went down to the wharf just as the Nantucket came in and then [went] out to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>]. We were very glad to get to a cool place. Nantucket does not seem to be as prosperous this year, and we were told that there were not nearly so many summer people here as usual. A good many of the cottages are closed. But there were the usual number of catboats in the harbor. After dinner we got underway for Edgartown. There was a light wind and it was very smooth outside. We saw a good many schooners headed to the eastward, and among them the Thomas W Lawson. She was going along with all sails set, and was a fine sight which I had long wanted to see. After we got into Edgartown we could see her looming up in the distance. We went ashore at Edgartown. It is something like Nantucket but it has not been made so much of, and is not so conceited. We went to the graveyard and Peas or later Pease seems to be the principal name. There were a number of graves of Revolutionary soldiers and sea captains.

They also took Papa over to the Electra<\/i> to see Mr. Gerry, then later down to see Mr. Morgan. The Eugenia<\/i> [#224p<\/a>] sailed through the harbor in the afternoon. There are a great many torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers at the torpedo station. They must have been doing something up the Bay for four of them came in in the afternoon.

In the afternoon we sat on the upper deck. Passed close to North Brother Island where the General Slocum<\/i> went ashore but did not see anything of her. Saw the usual sights in the East River. The Kanawha<\/i>, Rambler<\/i> and other yachts were off the New York Yacht Club Station. Went down by Erie Basin which seemed to be full of shipping and around behind the McIntosh Basin. It was very dirty around there. The boys rowed Gid ashore to get a telegram and we waited around. We had a good chance to look at the shipping. Among other things we saw a whale back and 4-masted ships. After a while we started for Gravesend Bay. (Oh, I forgot to say that we saw the Guiding Star<\/i>.) On the way down we passed the Edna V Crew<\/i>. New York Bay looks just the same. Saw Sandy Hook in the distance. Can get a fine view of Coney Island from Gravesend Bay.

Sid went ashore to Macintosh's Basin and met J.[?] Nuend[?] who had the pump for the Swiftsure<\/i> [#243p<\/a>]. After that was fixed we went back to Gravesend. A little later we went ashore to the Atlantic Yacht Club in the Swiftsure<\/i>. The clubhouse is very pretty inside. The hall was decorated with flags. Then we took a bus and drove through Seagate to Coney Island to take the electrics. Sea Gate is very aristocratic. I do not believe that the Coney Island people are allowed in there, as you have to go through a gate guarded by a policeman. They have fine roads and the houses are very pretty. While we were waiting for the cars we saw the Richard Borden<\/i> again. Coney Island seems like part of a city taken up and set down in the sand. There were a number of visiting places, salons, and lunch rooms. We went to Luna Park. Seems to me that they had every kind of amusement imaginable, but you had to pay to do almost everything except the bamboo slide etc. They had a Japanese garden, and a circus, and seals in a tank, and a trip to the moon, and a city fire etc, etc. None of the things were open, as it was morning. The sun was very bright and we could see all the defects, but at night when it was all lighted with electric lights they must be wonderful. At 12:30 we started back in the cars and were met by the bus and were taken to the yacht club. Then Papa came ashore in the launch to meet us. He went up to the clubhouse for a minute and when he came back he brought Uncle Francis with him. He must have come in the car behind us. We went onboard the boat and while we were having lunch Mr MacIntosh came off. After lunch Papa started off in the Swiftsure<\/i>. He took Uncle Francis and Mr MacIntosh to the landing, then the boys took them in the launch to see the race. We went on the upper deck. There were only two other boats. The Standard<\/i>] in the Swiftsure<\/i>'s class and the Vingt-et-Un with no competitor. The Standard<\/i> started ahead of the Swiftsure<\/i> and kept gaining, much to our sorrow.The Vingt-et-un<\/i> also went very fast. The wind blew rather hard and they threw a good deal of spray. They went over the course twice which made 20 knots. The people on the Riotte's[?] boat were quite excited because they were afraid the Standard<\/i> would be beaten, but she beat the Swiftsure<\/i> by about 3 minutes. There was also a sailboat race and they looked much prettier than the power boats. After the race, Cousin Francis and Mildred came onboard. And the Standard<\/i> came alongside and Mr. Macintosh introduced Papa to Mr. Riotte. He said that he had never been beaten by a steamboat. After that we started up for New York, towing the Swiftsure<\/i>. While we were at Gravesend Bay we saw the New York and a number of other ocean steamers. Also the Monmouth<\/i>, Ashbury Park<\/i>, and Little Sovereign<\/i> [#244p<\/a>]. The New York Harbor and East River were as interesting as ever. Left Uncle Francis and Mildred at the New York Yacht Club station on the East River. Saw the training ship New Hampshire<\/i>, also the Mount Morris<\/i>. While we were going through Hellgate, we were passed by the Pilgrim<\/i>, City of Tauntan<\/i>, a Merchant & Miners steamer & some barges & schooners. We were all going the same way & filled the place up pretty well. Their waves made the Swiftsure<\/i> roll a good deal. Anchored at Larchmont soon after 7:30. Into[?] went ashore to get some provisions. Saw in the paper today that Ingomar<\/i> [#590s<\/a>], has won 11 firsts and 1 second out of 15 starts.

On a small square were two cannon and a sort of monument to commemorate the bombardment of Stonington on August 10th 1814. Tried to get some peaches but could not find any. Went off to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] about six. The crew on the Elreba<\/i> were very lively. A man was on the end of the boat boom and they tried to shake him off. Then they lowered it down, then hoisted it up and let it drop quickly but he did not fall off. They also jiggled another man on it. In the evening some small boys rowed around us singing. Other boats rowed around us also. The boys were very lively today. Clouded up this afternoon and looks like rain.

He and his wife lived on the boat all summer. He told us that the steamer Shinnecock<\/i> runs to New York. Later, we went ashore to go in bathing. We had a hard time landing on account of the shallow shore but finally we got ashore and walked across the place where the Naval Reserve had camped a few weeks before, to the beach, but found it too stony to bathe. So we got into the Neon<\/i> again and went to another beach. Got the propeller caught in eelgrass. We landed and walked over to the beach on the other side of the breakwater. Aunt F[lossie] and the boys went in bathing. They had a fine bath. The shore goes down very steep. While we were ashore, the Carmina<\/i> came in. While we were having dinner, the New Shoreham<\/i> and the Block Island<\/i> came in. Also, the steam yacht Buccaneer<\/i> and later a sloop yacht. Five steamers run to Block Island<\/i>: from New York, from New London, from Providence, and one from Newport. [At] 2:45 got underway. Not so rough as yesterday but I think that if we had been going the other way it would have been worse. Carmina<\/i> passed us off Pt Judith. Met a tow headed out.

When we got up this morning we saw that the yacht Venture<\/i> from Virginia, which was anchored near us and we were interested in, had a hole burnt through her side. About 2:00 AM they discovered she was on fire in the engine room or coal bunker, do not know where. They got some help from shore and the fire was put out, but not before it had done some damage. We did not know anything about it till this morning. Papa went over there to estimate the cost of repair. He said that the owner was pretty much disgusted and was consoling himself with whiskey. The boat is for sale cheap now. We sailed around in the Neon<\/i> [#190301ep<\/a>] this morning. About 10:30 we towed the Neon<\/i> and Swiftsure<\/i> [#243p<\/a>] over to Brentons Cove and anchored them, and then went outside. Passed the Sybarita<\/i> on the way out with mizzen club topsail set. She is a regular racing yawl. It is too bad that there is no boat of her size to race with over here. A good many yachts out to see the race. They Regatta Committee on the Nourmahal<\/i>. Very little wind when the boats started, and changed to south soon after they crossed the line. The ones that started in the sloop class were the Sabarita, three 70s, two 60s and the Aspirant<\/i>. In the schooner class, the Corona<\/i> [#435s<\/a>] and Katrina<\/i> [designed by A. Cary Smith and built by Piepgras in 1888]. Very smooth outside, no swell. Seems more like the Sound then off Newport. They have a monkey hitched[?] to the end of the Narada<\/i>'s bowsprit. He jumps up and down every once in a while, and looks very funny. Wind very light all day. The boats change position some, but finally the Yankee<\/i> [#534s<\/a>] got ahead and stayed there. The Corona<\/i> was way ahead of Katrina<\/i>, and in with the sloops. Did not follow them all the way around but went over by Narragansett Pier and then down to Point Judith and met them coming back. Yankee<\/i> crossed first, then Sybarita<\/i> and Virginia<\/i>, Aspirant<\/i> was way behind, but won on time allowance. Corona<\/i> beat Katrina<\/i> a good deal. It has been cold all day.

When we got down to the south end of Prudence Island the 240<\/i> was not in sight so we waited for her. As soon as she was sighted we got underway. Wind must have been south earlier, but was northwest when we got there. Very little motion outside. Grace affected. Went inside of Point Judith breakwater. Took the 240<\/i> in tow at suppertime.

  [From the #215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i> log book:] 2nd Cruise, 2nd day. From Stonington towards Thames River. Very fine with l[igh]t WSW [wind]. Started early and ran up Thames R[iver] and anchored opposite Navy Yard [now the submarine base] in good position to see rowing race. Left anchorage inside breakwater. Passed Ram Is[land] l[igh]t ship. Arrived at bridge and waited about 19 m[inutes]. Anchored oppo[site] Navy Yard. Off in 240<\/i> [#240p<\/a>]. Mr. Arthur W. Cabot & Miss Cabot came aboard. Witnessed end of 1st race from deck, which Harvard won easily. Went down to bridge in 240<\/i> to see end of 2nd race, which Harvard also won. In afternoon, went in el[ectric] launch [#190202ep<\/a>] with the girls and called on the Cabots onboard Consuelo<\/i> [#400s<\/a>], then up the river in 240<\/i> to see end of 'varsity' race which was won, after [a] very close contest, by the Yale crew. A great many yachts in river, all dressed. A very fine sight which all enjoyed. About 6 [p.m.], changed anchorage to off Piquot [sic, i.e. Pequot] House. Calm evening and many yachts illuminated.
  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1905 #215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i> log book:] Fine day. Thermometer at 59 degrees early, and southwest wind. Left Stonington about 6:15. Very smooth out in the Sound. New London close at 7:50. Quite a number of yachts in here. Went up the river and anchored off the coaling station. Three torpedo boats --- destroyers came up. A few yachts up the river and more coming up. Eugenia<\/i> [#224p<\/a>] came up and anchored near us. After breakfast we went up the river in 240<\/i> [#240p<\/a>] and saw the Harvard and Yale stations. Could not have a better day for the race. Wind light northwest up the river, and light southwest down the Bay. After we got back to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>], Mr. and Mrs. Cabot came onboard. We saw the four-oared race from the upper deck. They finished quite near us, Harvard winning. Then we got into 240<\/i> and took the Cabot\u2019s launch in tow and went down to the Consuelo<\/i> [#400s<\/a>]. We took Hyde onboard, then went down near the bridge to see the finish of the Freshman race. They went right close by us, Harvard winning finely. Then we went around and took a look at the yachts. All our old friends are here. The Arrow<\/i>[?] has the regatta committee onboard and she goes rushing up and down the line. On the way back, we found the Eugenia<\/i>\u2019s launch refused to go, so we towed her back. After lunch we went down to the Consuelo<\/i> in the launch. The boys sailed around in 240<\/i>. Then we went back to the Roamer<\/i> and got into 240<\/i> and went up to Gales Ferry to see the finish of the varsity race. The Richard Peck<\/i>, City of Lowell<\/i>, and Mount Hope<\/i> were crowded with people. And there were power boats of all descriptions. We got a good place to see the finish and anchored near the Catch Me<\/i>, ex-Hard-Boiled Egg<\/i>. After waiting some time in the hot sun we saw the observation train coming up the river. Then we saw the shells. It was hard to tell which one was ahead, but finally we decided Harvard it was. When they got up even with us Yale was ahead. Yale was ahead by three quarters of a boat's length. The closest race they have ever had. Then they all started down the river. The Catch Me<\/i> started about even with us, and we gained on her at first, then she took a sprint and got a little ahead of us and stayed there the rest of the way. It was quite exciting. We beat all the rest of the boats down. We went on the upper deck and it was quite a sight to see all the power boats coming down. They looked like a lot of ducks. We got underway and went down and anchored off the Pequot House. Most of the other boats came down also. The Eugenia<\/i> anchored near us. In the evening Francis took Grace and me off in the dinghy. We rowed down around the Enterprise<\/i>, the Massachusetts Merchant Marine training ship. We also saw the Vigilant<\/i> and the Sybarita<\/i>. A beautiful evening but a little cool on deck.

Long Island looks just the same as ever, all yellow sand and green trees. After lunch, we got in the 240<\/i> and went into the canal, but the tide was the wrong way and the gates were shut, so we could not go through. We landed and went in to ask some questions. In front of it was a large wooden bust of Hercules which had been the figurehead of some ship. Then we went across the bridge and went up on a hill from which we could see Shinnecock Bay and light. The hill was all sandy and there was some cactus growing on it. After we got back to the boat, the boys went ashore to go in swimming. Later, we got underway for Sag Harbor and reached there about 5:45. Some of us went ashore in the cutter to get some milk and take a look around the go down.

Put on our shoes and walked over to the beach. Had to go through a sort of marsh and cactuses and railroad track and then through sand. There was a life-saving station and one or two fishermen's shacks there. A fine wide sandy beach [and] the boys went in bathing and we took off our shoes and walked along. By the time we got back to the boat we were pretty dirty as the marsh was rather salty and had coal dust from the cars on it. There were also many mosquitoes and two ticks were discovered after we got onboard. It has begun to cloud up and there was a ring around the sun this morning.

The island is all sand with a few scrub oaks and small pine trees and bushes growing in the thin grass and weeds. It looks very desolate. Just before we got to Siasconset it began to rain, and it sprinkled some about all the time we were there. It is a queer place. With a lot of summer houses up on the bank. Most of the houses have names. The boys went to the wireless telegraph station. Then we followed them up but found we could not get in. It was quite a walk, and there was not much time left. So we went back and down to the beach for a few minutes. There was not much surf. There are a few people in bathing. Grace took some pictures.

They do not have a good landing. There are a lot of kids from the hotel in the way. We had to wait there quite a long time. The Polyanthus<\/i> [#182p<\/a>] is in here. When the boats were racing down they met a brigantine beating up. She sailed through the fleet and made quite a contrast. Yesterday at Glen Cove we saw an English barkentine going down the Sound. Later in the afternoon the wind blew harder and we began to jump around some. After supper we rolled so that we changed our anchorage farther in. But it was not much better.

There was a young fellow named Gid
Who for style once made a great bid
He dressed all in white
And so fine was the sight
That the moon in her glory was hid.

There was a young lady named Grace
Who comes of the Herreshoff race
She makes google eyes
At all the young guys
Which they return with a grimace.

There was a young man named Newt Crummet
Who was always waiting to burn it
When he wore his glad rags
We would run up the flags
Which would cause him to swear Oh by Gum It.

There was a young fellow named Samuel
Who stood up and said I will lam you well
He let up on Sid
And flight on they did
But the less said the better for Samuel.

The Yankee<\/i> [#534s<\/a>] started ahead, but the Mineola<\/i> [#529s<\/a>] crept right by to windward of her.

We set the sails soon after we started and went along pretty well. The boats looked very pretty with all their big sails set. The wind went down some and while we were having lunch it began to rain and kept it up till we got off New London. The Sylanita crossed the line first.

Rules of the Road
Daytime
If one whistle she could blow
To starboard then your bow must go
And speeding on across the tide
She'll pass to port along your side.

If two whistles she should blow
Why then to port your bow must go
And if the space is fair and wide
You\u2019ll pass along her starboard side.

From three short blasts \u2018tis yours to learn
That she is going full speed astern.

All the Time
When in safety and in doubt
Always keep a good lookout
Strive to keep a level head
Mind your lights and mind your lead. [Photo(s) taken by A.M. Herreshoff on this day: [N.Y.Y.C. Fleet anchored at] New London (Album 16183 59.R), N.Y.Y.C.

The Vanish<\/i> [#177p<\/a>] and another boat were the only ones that beat us down. In the afternoon, we sailed around the fleet in 240<\/i>. The Tuscarora<\/i> had all Yale flags. The Emerald<\/i> had a large red H between her masts. Most all the other boats had either Harvard or Yale flags. The varsity race to finish at the bridge. So when we got back to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] we went down the river and anchored so as to be nearer the finish. The City of Lowell<\/i> and the Richard Peck<\/i> came up the river and anchored. They were crowded. Lots of other boats came up also. There are some fast ones, including the Simplex IV<\/i>. But 240<\/i> is as good as any. The race started about four. It was more exciting than the others. Yale was ahead but when they passed us Harvard made a spurt and went ahead. The boys jumped into 240<\/i> and went down to see who won. They soon came back calling out Harvard! Harvard! All the steamers were whistling and blowing their horns. As soon as it was over we went down and anchored off the Pequot House. All the Harvard people seemed to feel very happy. Then we went all around the fleet in the 240<\/i>, had a brush with Arrow<\/i> and another fast steamer. Among the yachts are the Corona<\/i> [#435s<\/a>], Elmina<\/i>, Invader<\/i>, Vigilant<\/i> [#437s<\/a>], Humma<\/i> [#553s<\/a>], Atlantic<\/i> and many familiar other ones.

There is a large fleet of seiners in here, three schooners, and yachts, and the Kestrel<\/i>. One of the schooners is the YMCA. We are the only steam vessel in here. Went ashore and looked around the town. It is a queer place with one long narrow street with a boardwalk on one side. There were a good many fishermen onshore and the YMCA members had evidently been playing ball. The seiners come in here when there is an east wind as they do not get mackerel then. They are a fine sight. There are a good many with rounded bows. Fine evening. [With pasted-in map of Provincetown.] [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

The sun had just risen and turned their sails to gold where it shown on them, and made the shadows very dark. You could hear the men calling to each other and the sails being hoisted. They had all gone out when we started at 7:45. A good many of the fishing boats went down in the Bay and some went out to sea. Went close to the shore and got a fine view of the sand dunes. It is quite a change from the rocky coast of Maine. Set the sails as soon as we got around far enough. Not very rough. The sails steadied us a good deal. The waves were breaking off Chatham and when we went inside the shoals by Monomoy the seas were breaking outside of us. Anchored in Nantucket about 3:30. There were a good many boats off sailing, some of them were having a race. We went ashore to go in bathing. We had a hard time finding a good place but finally we got in. The water was quite warm. We came back onboard and then went ashore [again] and walked around the town some. Fine evening. Cool. Sid and Nat went ashore to see a gas producer.

They had a picket line of small boats with red flags in them anchored outside the fleet. No boat could go inside of them. The lighthouse boats, colliers, supply ships, and dispatch boats were outside of this line. We had a hard shower and the wind got around west, blowing harder than ever. And pretty soon it began to clear off. We went into the harbor again and at 11:00, just as the president was boarding the Mayflower<\/i>, the sun came out. She fired 21 guns, then the Dolphin<\/i> with the Secretary of State onboard [fired] 21 guns, and then another gunboat. And then the whole fleet outside fired 21 guns. The Mayflower<\/i> started out. We went quite close to her. Also, the reporters has [sic] a tug with 'Pres Bot' in large letters in a conspicuous place. The Mayflower<\/i> sailed up and down the fleet four times and as she passed each warship fired another salute of 21 guns. It was a fine sight, about 40 vessels in all. One does not see a sight like it every day. The ships were all dressed with flags, and the crews all stood at attention when the president passed. There was a very large fleet of yachts, tugs, excursion boats, etc. anchored outside the picket line. It went far ahead of anything of the kind that we have ever seen before. There were a great many familiar yachts and others we did not know. And a large number of 'put-puts.' We sailed around the fleet close to the picket line. Wind blew quite hard. There were battleships, cruisers, gunboats, monitors, torpedo boat destroyers, and submarines. After the president had finished the review and anchored at one end of the line near the Dolphin<\/i>, we went into the harbor for dinner. The Cabots went on the Consuelo<\/i> [#400s<\/a>] after dinner and we headed for home. Took another look at the fleet. There were a lot of launches astern of the Mayflower<\/i>.

Her rudder was carried away. A knockabout and the Merlin<\/i> were sailing around her. After a good deal of trouble, we heaved them a line and took them in tow. Just then, the knockabout (they must have got rattled because they) kept right on and we had to back to keep out of their way. They just cleared us, and we just cleared the catboat astern of us. We rolled worse than we ever have before. The desk flew open and everything inside came out, and ink spilled all over the carpet. More spray and water came on deck. It was very exciting for a while. One of the men on the catboat got into the rowboat and the knockabout picked him up. He evidently belonged on her. We had not gone very far when the boat brought up with a jerk and the rope broke.

The houseboat Roxanna<\/i> kept dragging and had to change her anchorage two or three times. They kept postponing the race. The Victor was a great amusement. Finally, two yawlboats from the Dexter<\/i> came out and the Scout<\/i> and Arrow<\/i> began to get lively and the observation train went up again, but it did not amount to anything.

Yale was ahead but Harvard began to gain but did not quite catch up. Yale won by 1\/2 a length. It was pretty exciting, but the cheering was not like last year. I guess that everyone was tired of waiting. The race was hardly over before everyone started downstream. It was great fun. All the fast boats went ahead and the slow ones were left behind.

Soon after we got to the lightship, the Ingomar<\/i> [#590s<\/a>] and Elmina<\/i> came in before the committee boat. Elmina<\/i>\u2019s topmast broke just as she got to the lightship. The fog shut in very thick and a good SW breeze. The other boats kept coming out of it one after another. It was very exciting. We rolled a good deal. Some of the records came out of the case and were broken. Nearly all of those [racers]were too far to the eastward, [so] we hailed them and told them to go to the westward of the lightship. A torpedo boat destroyer came out and got in the way. We passed a cruiser and monitor before we got to Point Judy. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

There was something the matter with the batteries so we had to sail. Sid and Ber went in the cutter. We got some spray. The tide was running in fast through the cut. Sailed up the pond a little way. Wind blew hard. When we got back onboard we started for home. Lots of lobster pot buoys inside the breakwater. Passed a whaleback steamer and two barges headed out. There must be quite a number used around here noter[?]. Got home at 6:30. Wind had been west all day, and hot. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

While we were having breakfast, they threw a program onboard and we found that the first two races were to be rowed downstream. So we went down and anchored. Uncle John [J.B. Herreshoff] [is] here with [the steam yacht] Augusta<\/i> [#146p<\/a>]. Mr. Duncan and David and Mr. Thorn[?] came onboard. They told us that President Cleveland died yesterday. Fleet not as large this year as usual. A good many of our old friends here. Yale won the four-oared race easily, and Harvard the eight-oared. We thought Yale had won the eight because they changed sides. Mr. Alpheus [Packard?] and his sister came onboard to make a call. Just before dinner we went upstream and anchored near the coaling station. David [Duncan] onboard for dinner. There are a number of revenue cutters here and they are keeping the course clear, as usual. After dinner we went up the river past the Harvard and Yale quarters. We would have gone up farther, but Papa did not have his chart of the river. Then Fuzz got into the dinghy and the girls got into the cutter with Ber as coxwain and rowed down the river as far as a schooner that was anchored. We beat him easily. Then we rowed down as far as Gales Ferry were the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] anchored to see the finish of the varsity race. There was quite a fleet there. We rowed about a mile and a quarter against a strong tide. Two sailboats ran aground while we were waiting there. The race did not begin until about 6:30. Harvard was way ahead when we first saw them. Then Yale stopped, and their launch went alongside. Harvard was way ahead and won easily and rowed right on to Red Top. There was quite excitement. Yale came along later with seven men rowing. As soon as it was over, the boats all started down the river. It was a fine sight. We had to wait at the bridge a while. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

Went to Hen and Chickens Reef to see the [U.S.S.] Yankee<\/i> [#534s<\/a>]. She ran on the rocks last Wednesday in the fog. She is in a bad place right up on the rocks and it is doubtful if they can get her off unless the sea keeps smooth. There were fifteen vessels there helping to get her off. Carriers, destroyers lighthouse boats, tugs, and lighters. Part of the ledge was out of water and we could see a rock under her bow. The bow is raised up about 8 feet. There is a large hole 28 feet long in her bottom. I do not see how she got so much out of her course. We stayed there about an hour and then went inside the reef and started for home. Nine feet was the smallest amount we got going over the reef. Had a very pleasant run back. Light SW wind. Seas were breaking on Brentons Reef. Went through Newport Harbor. Got home about 4:30.

The races were all rowed on time. Grace, Christine, Fuzz and I went up to the Navy Yard in the electric launch [#190202ep<\/a>] to see the finish of the four oared race which was rowed downstream. Harvard won easily. There was not much excitement and not many boats there. The boys were on the Premier<\/i>. Then we decided [to go] back for the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] to see the freshman race which was to finish at the bridge. Then something in the launch kept blowing out and we had to row most of the way back. But we got there in time to see the freshman go by with Harvard in the lead. Have it won by 12 lengths. Two of the freshman crew were Milton fellows and one was Pierce Metcalf. Revenue cutters are keeping the course clear as usual. After dinner we went up the river nearly as far as Norwich. Thermometer went back up to 84 degrees. The fish are (?) here the same as in Narragansett Bay. Mr. Duncan, [and his daughter and son] Nathalie and David came alongside in their launch while we were going up and made us a call. We anchored just below Gales Ferry for the varsity race which was to be rowed at 6:00. A great many small power boats here. Also Enaj<\/i> [#267p<\/a>] [and] Eugenia<\/i> [#224p<\/a>]. Marjorie<\/i> lost her rudder and Premier<\/i> towed her alongside of Eugenia<\/i>. While we were waiting, a launch came alongside with Marjorie [Van Wickle] and [her future husband] Mr. [George Armstrong] Lyons. We were surprised to see them as we did not expect Marjorie till after the race. They could not get tickets for the observation train so stayed onboard for the race. There was unusual excitement waiting for them to come in sight, and then we saw that Harvard was ahead. When they got even with [us] Harvard had a good lead. There was great excitement: whistle blowing and guns going off. Then there was the usual rush down the river [with] all the Harvard boats rejoicing. There was there was quite a jam of boats at the bridge. We had to wait a long time. Finally, three trains went over and then after a while they opened the bridge. We put Mr. Lyons ashore to take the train for New York. Then went down to our anchorage. Irolita<\/i> near us. Did not have supper till 8:00. Fine night. Some of the fleet [are] lighted up. Naval vessels signaling with searchlights. Gid and Carl went over to Eugenia<\/i> in Gid's boat and did not get back in time to go down the river with us, so they had to row down.

First, they had a sham battle with two strings of boats towed by launches, one side using red Roman candles and the other blue, and they fired red and blue lamps from two points on the shore back of the boats. Some of the boats in the harbor were lighted up, and some burnt red and green lights. There are more boats in the harbor than yesterday. Then they towed the strings of boats around the harbor.

Fuzz and Hyde were rowing around, and they said that a launch caught on fire and the people jumped overboard. Evening cool and clear. [With inlad printed 'Programme. Water Sports.

We got out to the lightship just before the start. A good-sized fleet of yachts out to watch the race. Smooth sea. Good northerly breeze at the start. The course is the usual one: First to Sakonnet, then Block Island, and back. In the sloop class are the Vigilant<\/i> [#437s<\/a>], Weetamoe<\/i>, Aurora<\/i> [#667s<\/a>], Istalena<\/i> [#663s<\/a>], Winsome<\/i> [#664s<\/a>], Avenger<\/i> [#666s<\/a>], Dorello<\/i>, Adventuress<\/i> [#582s<\/a>], Altair<\/i> [#539s<\/a>], Eleanor<\/i> [#669s<\/a>], Aspirant<\/i>, and Mimosa III<\/i> [#610s<\/a>].

The wind grew lighter and finally came out SW. The boats that tacked in along the Narragansett shore got it first. The Elmina<\/i> got way ahead of the Queen<\/i> and led the fleet in. She was very well sailed. The Istalena<\/i> did very well but Avenger<\/i> probably won unless there is some mistake in the allowance. A good-sized fleet of steamers followed the race. Also, the USTB Morris<\/i> [#190p<\/a>]. The Corsair<\/i> was out today and was by far the best-looking boat. One does not realize her size until you see her outside with a lot of other boats. [We] came through the harbor on the way up. Fleet's not so very large. We carried a lunch which we ate on deck. Started a fire in the galley and washed the dishes coming up the Bay.

Great loss of time, so at 3-30 when off the point of Coney Is[land], we broke ranks with most of the yachts of the 6th division and part of our [own] division (5th), [and] ran up and anchored off Bull\u2019s Ferry nearly oppoite the Grand Landing.

  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1909 #215p<\/a> Roamer<\/i> log book:] Very fine and clear. Cool morning. Wind N. While we were having breakfast, the warships began saluting each other. They would hoist the flag of the country they intended to salute, then fire the guns, and the other ship would answer. About 9:30, we got underway and went over to the Columbia<\/i> [#499s<\/a>] Yacht Club to mail some letters. Everything is in gala dress. Then we hearded down the river and am going to meet Hyde at Staten Island. After we got down by the Statue of Liberty, a ferryboat came close by us and Hyde hailed us from her. We got to Staten Island about the same time she did. Saw the Clermont<\/i> and Half Moon<\/i> on the way. Also, lots of other boats of all kinds. When we got Hyde onboard, we started down and waited off Fort Hamilton. Some of the other yachts are collecting. Saw the Zealand<\/i> and Berlin<\/i> going out. Later, a lot of other boats including the Philadelphia<\/i>, Martha Washington<\/i> of Australia, Keltia<\/i>[?], California<\/i>, etc. About 1:15, the yachts began to take their places. We are the second boat in the 5th division. The Cristobal<\/i> is the leader of our division. There are six divisions altogether, the Corsair<\/i> leading. There must be nearly 100 yachts\u2014all our old friends and a good many others. The Corsair<\/i> started and made a wide turn down by Gravesend Bay, the others following single file. When it came to our division, there seemed to be a hitch. We waited and waited. The motorboat fleet came down and formed and started back. Then the 6th division started up without waiting for the others. It was getting on towards 4:00 and we wanted to see what was going on, so we took down our flags and started up. The trouble seemed to be that there were too many boats and too far apart. Only the largest steamers had started when we got up there. It was packed solid with tugs south of Governor's Island, waiting to start. Everything is decorated with flags and the old Dutch colors of orange, white, and blue. The number of boats must run up into the thousands. It was a wonderful sight. The Clermont<\/i> and Half Moon<\/i> were to lead the procession around the anchored fleet, then stop off the landing at 110th St. that was expressly made. The rest of the procession was to follow. When we got up, the first ones had not begun to come down. We went up a little way, then anchored in a fine place a little north of where we were yesterday: off the Donnay[?] Starch factory (which did not smell good) [and a] little below 110th St. There are a great many more yachts here, including Eugenia<\/i> [#224p<\/a>]. We saw a balloon go up and two men drop in parachutes from it. The big Sound steamers were the first of the procession, then smaller steamers and ferry boats. The yachts were supposed to come next, but it was so late that the tugs came along with them. They were still coming up after sunset. There were said to be 700 tugs, and I guess there was fully that number. Such a variety of boats would be hard to imagine: foreign and US war vessels, ocean steamers, Sound and river steamers, tugs and harbor craft of all kinds, yachts and motorboats. The wind was strong N and cold [with] mare's tails and clouds coming up from the south. Soon after sunset the boats began to light up. The Islander[?] anchored near us made a good showing with red, white, and blue lights. The New Amsterdam<\/i> was as good as any. She was completely outlined with lights. Her four masts, smokestacks with the green band around them, and her decks. The night parade began about 7:30 and they kept it up for about 2 hours [with] the same such lights we saw last night going. They proved to be from the land and not from one of the ships. They kept going all the evening, sometimes with red and green rays. About 8:00 all the warships lighted up. They were all outlined with lights and made a fine sight, stretching about seven or eight miles up the river. Then all the boats started whistling and kept it up for two or three minutes. They did this again two or three times during the evening. We put on all our thickest coats and sat on the upper deck wrapped up with steamer rugs. One of the apartment houses, the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Columbia Yacht Club, and the other landings were all lit up. Then the fireworks began, set off for from some barges anchored along the river. Most wonderful rockets and bombs sent off, one right after the other. A much greater variety and much finer and much more than we have ever seen before. It is hard to describe. One does not often see so much in one day. The sound and moving lights were continuous. A small part of it would be equal to most illuminations. [Photo(s) taken by A.M. Herreshoff on this day: Italian ship Etna<\/i>, Hudson R. (AMH Neg No 064-04), Mexican ship, Morelos<\/i>, Hudson R.

Thermometer 54 degrees early and got up to 63 degrees. A large fleet of yachts [anchored] around us. While we were having breakfast the Nieuw Amsterdam<\/i> got underway and started down the river. She turned around very quickly for such a large ship. After breakfast, we got underway and went over to see the Clermont<\/i> and Half Moon<\/i>. The Clermont<\/i> was painted gray, and although quite different from the steamers now, was not nearly so strange looking as the Half Moon<\/i>. They must have been brave men in old times to take such a such long voyages across strange seas in such uncomfortable ships. She is only about 2\/3 as long as the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] with a very high stern and low bow. The crew was dressed in the costume of the time and everything was made as near like the original as possible. She was trimmed with gay colors and had large flags flying. Her tender was sailing out to her and was about as clumsy looking, with a leeboard over her side. After we had had a good look at them, we started up the river. The US ships here are the USS Idaho<\/i>, Mississippi<\/i>, New Hampshire<\/i>, Minnesota<\/i>, Louisiana<\/i>, Kansas<\/i>, Vermont<\/i>, Connecticut<\/i>, Ohio<\/i>, Missouri<\/i>, Wisconsin<\/i>, Virginia<\/i>, Rhode Island<\/i>, Nebraska<\/i>, New Jersey<\/i>, Georgia<\/i>, Montana<\/i>, North Carolina<\/i>, New York<\/i>, Birmingham<\/i>, and Salem<\/i>. They are all painted gray and some have the new open work masts. They were having inspection --- or some of them were. We went by and they all looked neat and shipshape. We kept on up the river as far as Yonkers, then turned around and went down by the fleet again. There are about 40 vessels in all. Lots of yachts, excursion boats, etc. were starting out to see the fleet. The US, English, French, and Italian ships are gray and the others white. We had an interesting run down along the docks and up the East River. The wind was pretty cold. Went into Samford and left Nat and Hyde at the Yacht Club. Then kept on to Black Rock where we anchored about 6:00. [Photo(s) taken by A.M. Herreshoff on this day: Clermont<\/i>, Hudson R. (AMH Neg No 064-06), Half Moon<\/i>, Hudson R.

You could hardly notice any swell. Went up to the wharf at Narragansett Pier about 11:30. Landed and walked along the shore quite a distance. After dinner, sailed down towards Pt Judith a little way. Then went back through Newport Harbor. The old rock[?] across from the Morgans was burning. Diana<\/i> and Wanderer<\/i> were in the harbor. Lots of gulls rising on the water both outside and in the Bay. Took a turn around Mt Hope Bay and then home. Warm all day and hot onshore at noon.

Just before the varsity race, we got some papers onboard and found that Harvard won the four-oared race after all, so there was great rejoicing onboard. Harvard won the varsity race easily. They were rowing finely. There was the usual excitement at the end: cannons, whistles, sirens, etc. There were observation trains on both sides of the river as usual.

Very lively scene with the strong wind blowing and all the yachts moving around. The classes started the same as yesterday. The Windward<\/i> (P-Class) was ahead of the [New York] 30-footers. They kept up with the rest of the class very well. The Aloha<\/i> came out under full sail and gained on some of the schooners going out to Race Rock. But then she dropped behind. The Vagrant<\/i> [#698s<\/a>] went ahead of her class, but after they turned, she kept way outside and lost by it. The ones that kept in close to Fishers Island did best because they kept out of the tide. It was a wonderful sight to look back at the fleet coming before the wind with the sun shining on their sails and the blue water with whitecaps. It was by far the best run we have ever seen from New London to Newport. Winsome<\/i> [#664s<\/a>] rounded Pt Judith ahead of the fleet but Elmina<\/i> got ahead of her before the finish. We waited outside to watch them come in. It was a fine sight. We just about kept up with the head of the fleet all day. Sat on the upper deck. The New York 30s were inside their allowance. The Intrepid<\/i> lost part of her balloon maintopmast staysail when they were trying to take it in. Some of them had quite a time taking in their light sails. We went into Newport Harbor and sailed through the fleet. Then home about 4:45.

We went on to Vineyard Sound lightship and gave them some magazines. Iolanda<\/i> also stopped and gave them some papers. Then we went over to Gay Head. It was so smooth we landed on the beach. Gay Head looked very bright today with the sun shining on it, and very blue water. Just like all the other islands onshore: short grass and bushes. We went to the lifesaving station first, then walked along the edge of the cliff and to the lighthouse. The cliff is fine clay all gulled up, and streaks of different colors: red, yellow, white, gray and bluish-black, etc. All mixed up in streaks and bunches. Very bright in the sun. It must get very soft and sticky in wet weather. Then I bought some clay things. Most of the people we saw look like Indians. It is a very queer place. As soon as we got onboard again, we went along where they have cut an opening into Menemsha Pond. It will make a nice harbor for small boats when it is finished. A man came down on one of the jetties and told us about it. We went on to get to West Chop sometime before the sailboats. They had a strong head tide.

Beautiful sail up the river. Anchored at Bath. Some of the party went ashore. Two six-masters here, side-by-side, and a torpedo boat and a few other schooners and steamers.

Channel narrow in some places and shore [was] close to both sides. In others, rocky and covered with evergreen trees. Summer houses in some places [and] scattered farm houses. Very pretty. Tide runs strong through some places [like] Hell Gate, etc. It's hard to realize that it is islands here and not mainland. Sun came out during the trip. Some of the early explorers were piloted through here by the Indians and had quite a time. We came out at Boothbay and turned around in the harbor. Sloop Doris<\/i> [#625s<\/a>] here. Then went out among the islands. Beautiful scenery and coloring. Summer houses scattered along every once in a while. Went up St. George River. Saw Monhegan in the distance. Very pretty, straight river. Nice clean green water. Beautiful coloring and clouds today. The early explorers thought it was a very beautiful place. Went up nearly to Thomaston. Made a most beautiful picture, with the blue and green Camden hills in the distance, then went down and around up Muscle Ridge Channel by Owl's Head and anchored behind Rockland breakwater about 5:00. The scenery today was past description. Went ashore at Rockland. Very muddy street where we landed. Not an attractive place. Did some shopping, then back to the boat for supper. Beautiful sunset over the Camden Hills which made up for the dirt onshore. A revenue cutter and some yachts in here. Fine moonlight evening. Went off rowing. Cool. Wind N. Thermometer 63 degrees.

Not a cloud in the sky. Started out about 8:30. Went through the Fox Island Thoroughfare. The coast gets more beautiful as we go east. Lots of nice summer houses of a better class than most we saw in Casco Bay. Today could not be more beautiful. The most wonderful colors in the distant mountains, and all the rocky islands covered with evergreens. One wants to photograph everything, but it is all the color and clean air. Things around seemed to get more beautiful as we went on. Went through the Deer Isle Thoroughfare by Stonington and soon we could see the mountains of Mt Desert in the distance, only they did not look as far because the air was so clear. Clarence is rigging a square-rigger and I have been sewing the sails all day. Anchored in Seal Harbor a little after 1:00. Went ashore after dinner to see Miss Elaine Shaw. Went to the hotel where she is staying. Walked a little way up the path that leads up the mountains. Started off soon after 3:00. Rather pretty place [with] houses above one another on one side of the harbor in the evergreen trees. Not a very good harbor. The mountains looked more beautiful than ever when we started out. Went back to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] [and] went back the same way and anchored at Stonington, Deer Isle. I think Deer Isle and Fox Island Thoroughfare[s] are the nicest places we have seen yet. Stonington itself is not so attractive, as the architecture of houses is rather crude and they are thrown on a bare rocky hillside. There are nearly all natives who live here, and Italians who work in the quarry. Mr. Horton went ashore to see his mother and we went along with him to get some lobsters, but the lobster place was closed and we could not find the lobsterman. So, after walking up the street a little way [we found that] most of the houses and yards look very neat. Boardwalk overhead[?] we too went back to the boat. The landing facilities are not very good. Went off rowing after supper. Very beautiful full moon. Cool. Sat on deck afterwards. Two men came out in a dory and sold us some lobsters and fish. I wish we could stay here longer and explore some of the islands as we could not go very far last night. When Mr. Horton came onboard he said they had a frost here last night and there are more summer people than ever before. [Photo(s) taken by A.M. Herreshoff on this day: Mark Is., Me.

Got to Portsmouth about 2:00 and picked up Aunt Nellie and Grace at the Navy Yard. Started out again and had a nice run to the mouth of the Merrimack River. Tide was running out very strong between the jetties. A spar buoy was underwater at times. A two-masted schooner went in ahead of us and went along pretty well. A fine sandy beach along here, lined with summer houses set close together. Anchored on one side of the channel below Newburyport. Got too close in at first and had to move out. Strong current running out all the evening. Rather desolate place, marshy on each on each side. Lots of gulls and other shore birds on the sandspit.

Took a Meridian deviation of the sun: longitude[?] 58 degrees 47 minutes S. Latitude 42 degrees 14 minutes 47 seconds N, which was within 3 miles of our position as near as we could tell. Strong breeze and we rolled some going around to Provincetown. Could see the Pilgrim monument a long way off. A schooner yacht kept even going in. Anchored about 3:00. Some fishing schooners here flying a US flag in the main rigging which means they want bait which is scarce now. Quite rough rowing ashore. Had to go in three loads [and it was] very choppy near the landing. Walked around some, and then went up to the [Pilgrim] Monument. All of us young people went in and climbed to the top. It is 252 feet high. It was not hard going up as it was inclined planes with two steps at every corner. There were stairs with the names of towns and some societies in all parts of New England.

Corsair<\/i> passed us off Pollock's Rip. It got more choppy when we got by Chatham. Waves were short and steep on the shoal and we went over allright.

After breakfast we decided not to start out as it looked pretty rough outside. Went ashore and us young people hired a carriage to drive over to Sconset. It was $0.50 cheaper than going in the train. Good road [of] asphalt macadam all the way over. The poor old horse named Lucy was very slow and it took us an hour and a half to go over. Grace and John took turns navigating. We used nautical language. The boys kept climbing all over the carriage and running along the road. When we got there, we did not know which way to go but finally went down by the station and hitched the horse. We finally rescued two bathing horses and went in. The surf was pretty strong. The shore slants down steep and the sand is very coarse. I did not like it as well as Westport. We found going back that if we all urged Lucy and sang and shouted, we got along faster. We timed ourselves going by the milestones and had a very gay time. We passed one carriage and apologized saying we would have to get back before 1:00 or they would charge us more. The boys got out and pushed to keep us going along and Charlie fell off the starboard gangway. We got back a little after 1:00 and the man in the stable wanted to know if we got lost. It took us about an hour to come back. The launch came in to the wharf just as we got there, so it was alright. After dinner, it clouded up and sprinkled some. We started out and it was damp and showery most of the way to Woods Hole. Rather rough too. We played chickens all the way. Wind got around more to the west and drier.

When he got back, we went over to the mouth of the Monument River and anchored. Went up the river in the launch. They have not dredged the river any yet, but are working farther down the Bay than when we were here in June. The drawbridge must be nearly finished. It is a queer looking thing. It swings up from one side and has a big weight to balance it. There was a suction dredge along the bridge with a long pipe leading ashore when they are spreading out the sand that is dredged up. They are starting another bridge farther up. Evidently for carriages. We kept on up under the second railroad bridge. The water gets fresh up here. The tide was very high and very pretty. The water came right up to the grass and reeds, goldenrod, asters[?], cardinal flower, a kind of sunflower, etc., growing right out of the water. Pretty coming in [from] the distance. All this will be changed when the canal is put through. We went up quite a way, landed,and walked across a meadow into a pine grove. A good many wildflowers. Had a fair tide going [back] down the river. Had to keep a lookout for rocks as there are some large ones in the channel. As soon as we got onboard, we got underway again. Went over to Onset and turned around, then started down the Bay. A good many people off sailing and fishing. At 1:00 got to Woods Hole. Tied up to the Fish Commission wharf. Very strong head tide going in. The buoys were nearly pulled under and we slowed down a good deal in one place. After dinner, we went into the aquarium. Just the same things as last week when we were here, but as interesting as ever. In the tank outside were some dogfish and a sea turtle. He used his flippers just like wings and went along at a pretty good speed. About 2:30 we started for Vineyard Haven. Had a nice trip across. Anchored in our old place behind the breakwater. Wind SW and light and rather damp. Hot walking onshore. We went ashore and took the car for Oak Bluffs. Shaky little cars and a very uneven track, so they have to run slowly. Fare $0.10. Motormen and conductors do not wear a uniform. We found Cottage City hot and very unattractive. Queer people and horses. The flowers and vines seem to be doing their best to cover them up. We walked around [and] some then took the car back. Had to stand up all the way but did not mind as it was cooler, and we could get a better view. A man on a bicycle beat us coming back.

They looked very pretty and seemed to keep pretty close together. Turned around a little below Sandy Point and went up into Mount Hope Bay. Kept close along the shore as far as the Narrows, then across to Tiverton and turned around above the bridge. There seem to be more powerboats than sailboats now. Got back to the wharf a little before 5:00. Had some music afterwards. The herring gulls have come back again and the mackerel gulls have gone. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] has a nice easy motion. After dinner, they took off the awning and set the sails. Had a fine trip along the shore. Wind blew pretty hard. Lots of schooners headed to the westward. We counted 19 in sight at one time. Lots of gulls in the opening flying around and resting on the water. Wind blew harder after we got into the Bay. We pitched a good deal till we got in the lee of Prudence Island. Wind blew 40 miles an hour at times [and is] the strongest wind the Roamer<\/i> has ever been out in, and the roughest I have ever seen it in the Bay. We threw the spray out in sheets, and at times the wind blew the tops off the waves. The water looked just like winter. It was fine to see. Grace and I stayed on the after deck all day. Two motorboats [that were] coming up the Bay jumped around a good deal, but seemed to be coming along alright. Past a yawl reefed, but it was not so rough then in the lee of Prudence island.

A road runs alongside of it that is underwater at high tide and is marked out with stakes like a channel. Walked up the shady lane back of the Cuttyhunk Club and around a fine new clubhouse that has been built lately, and up the hill back of it. It began to rain, but we decided to keep on to the top\u2014and it did not last long. The tripod at the top was blown down. Wind was strong up there.

At 7:15 got underway and went up the river and anchored off the coaling station. A good many large yachts above the bridge, and more boats coming up all the time. After breakfast, an aeroplane was sighted down the river. It came up and lighted in a field near us. Nat, Sid, and Nick rowed ashore to see it. They flew over from Boston this morning. Soon after that, we heard a buzzing up the river and a hydroplane came down full speed. She bumped over the top of the waves and threw sheets of spray out each side. Eugenia<\/i> [#224p<\/a>] came up and anchored near us and we went onboard to make a call. The freshman race was rowed up about noon and finished near the coaling station. Yale won. The Harvard stroke was all in. The four-oared race was rowed upstream from the coaling station right afterwards. We saw the start and could follow them with the glasses, but could not tell which was ahead. After a while we found out that Harvard had won. After dinner, we went up the river a little way. Very green and pretty. Came down and sailed through the fleet and anchored about 3\/4 of a mile from the finish.

Very interesting to see all the boats. The race was rowed after 5:00. There was the usual excitement looking through the glasses to see which one was ahead. We did not know which side they were rowing on, but finally we made out Harvard a good way ahead. The aeroplane kept circling around over their heads, and the interest was divided between the shells and the aeroplane. Harvard was way ahead when they passed us and gave Yale a very bad beating. The aeroplane turned around at the end of the course, and just clearing the bridge and some masts, scooted up the river full speed. The whistling and saluting begin before Yale finished. We got underway right afterwards and had the usual wait at the bridge, but finally got through as soon as any. Went down and anchored in the usual place. A good many of the yachts came down and anchored later. Grace, Mary, Sid, Ber, and I went off rowing after supper. The other boys went down to the Westward<\/i> [#692s<\/a>], then ashore to the Griswold House. Carl came back with the boys and stayed all night.

He is going back with us. Got underway about 9:00. Some of the boys went ashore to land a cow[?] and get some provisions. Then [we] started across the Sound. Light breeze, [and] fine for steam yachting. Went into Peconic Bay. Very pretty and much warmer. Went around Shelter Island and anchored at Sag Harbor for dinner. Very hot.

We went along with them for aways, then went on to Block Island and anchored in the Salt Pond about 6:45. It was much cooler in the Pond, and when the strong SW wind came up it felt really cold. After supper G, M, B, and I rowed in the dinghy up a sort of canal. We felt very gay and soon ran in onto a sandbar but kept on up as far as we could go and landed the other side of a bridge. We decided to walk around and see if we could surprise the other boys who were going ashore in Gid's boat. After a while we spotted them on a hotel piazza. They came out and joined faces[?]. Gid said he would pilot us into the metropolis, so we started. After a while, we brought up at a drugstore and all had sodas. Then went and got some postal cards. Then stopped at a hotel and 'tore off a couple of dances.' Everything was very gay, and we had a fine time. We went back to the boat another way, and after plowing through a good deal of sand we found her alright. The others got back to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] first, but we got down the canal alright without running aground. Fine night. Wind strong southwest.

Some of the sand was dark colored and evidently had iron in it as it would stick on my knife blade which had been magnetized.

We took a wrong street which made our walk much longer. Finally we got there. We rested a while in the shade before we went into the Monument. The thermometer was 101 [degrees]. The men gave us a lantern and we started up the steps and got to the top, hotter than ever and out of breath. We could get a good view of the country back, and the harbor and yachts. We could [look] right down in Fort Griswold [and] I took some pictures. The Monument was built in 1830. When we got down, we brought some postcards got a drink of water and then explored the Fort. There seemed to be two forts. One looked older than the other. The earthworks looked much higher than when we looked down on them from the top of the Monument. We saw the place where Colonel Ledyard was killed with his own sword by a British soldier after they had surrendered. 'This Monument [was] erected under the patronage of the State of Connecticut in 1830, and in the 55 years of independence of the USA, in the memory of the brave patriots who fell in the massacre at Fort Griswold near this spot on the 6th of September 1781 when the British under the command of the traitor Benedict Arnold burned the towns of New London and Groton and spread desolation and woe throughout this region.' We got back to the boat [the cutter] by a shorter way and got out to the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] a little before 1:00. We met Papa and Francois going up to the city in the launch to meet Uncle Francis. Ber went in the swimming. Had dinner about 2:00. After dinner, Ber, Charlie, Francois and I went out in the cutter again and sailed down through the fleet and outside a little way and had a fine trip. The Corona<\/i> [#435s<\/a>][?] is here.

Istalena<\/i> [#663s<\/a>] and Avenger<\/i> [#666s<\/a>] [were] the largest sloops. At 12:00, Istalena<\/i> was ahead. Not much more than a drifting match so far. Wind SE [and] after a while it grew stronger and got more to the N, and at the end of the race there was a nice little breeze. They did not sail straight over to Fort Pond Bay, but the course was Z-shaped. The wind was fluky and first one boat would get a puff and then another. The boats to round the first buoy were: Westward<\/i> [#692s<\/a>], Adventuress<\/i> [#582s<\/a>], Irolita<\/i> [#657s<\/a>], Istalena<\/i>, Avenger<\/i>, Elena<\/i> [#706s<\/a>], Cara Mia<\/i> [#687s<\/a>], Dorello<\/i>, Irondequoit<\/i>, Taormina<\/i>, etc. The first were ours [i.e. HMCo's.].

Water very deep here. Good harbor for southerly winds. Uncle Francis, the boys and I went ashore [and] landed at a small wharf where they land fish. They ship fish to New York by train. They were getting it ready. We saw bluefish, large flat fish, bonitas, and lobsters. There are a few fishermen's houses on the shore. The post office [is] in the back of one of them\u2014a very small room. There are a few other buildings and the stations all set around in the sand. We climbed up a hill back of them [where we] could get a good view of the Bay. Some of the boats were still coming in. We walked around the Montauk Inn, evidently new and looking rather out of place. To the eastward we could see a large pond and the top of Montauk Point over the hills. To the south we could see Fort Pond and the ocean. Fine view. The land is the same formation as Block Island [with] hills and hollows, short grass, and a variety of wildflowers and lilies in the hand. We walked around a while then went back to the landing. There seemed to be a good deal going on around the railroad station and people were coming ashore in launches etc. After supper, the boys and I went ashore again and bought some postcards at the post office. Then rowed around to the fleet. Fair sized fleet here. Moon almost full. Wind about S. Dark clouds came up later. Viking<\/i> was anchored alongside of us, and they had a reception onboard.

When they got by Pt Judith, the Westward<\/i>, Elena<\/i>, Irolita<\/i> made a very bad mistake by keeping off [too long] to the westward and overstanding the mark. The Enchantress<\/i> did as she did yesterday and rounded the mark a long way ahead of the others. They could not possibly catch up to her. We had dinner outside. A good many of our party were laid out on the deck so there was plenty of room at the table. The Sagamore<\/i> had the Bristol Yacht Club onboard. We did not follow them over to the second mark. They finished about 4:00. Enchantress<\/i> first, Westward<\/i> about 12 minutes behind, Elena<\/i>'s less than a minute behind her. They kept close together all through the race. Then Irolita<\/i>, Istalena<\/i>, Avenger<\/i>, and Shimna<\/i>. We did not wait for them to finish. Went into the harbor and spoke to Mr. Cochran on the Mohegan<\/i>. Not as many boats in the harbor as Wednesday. It is too bad that the schooners made such a mistake as they had a good breeze and [it] would have been a good fair race.

Clear, [and] the NW wind had gone down some and the water and sky were very blue.

Dixie<\/i> won, with Pioneer<\/i> second. After the race, we went back to the wharf and landed our two guests. Wind came out SW. A good part of the boats started out headed toward New York.

One does not realize that the water runs back so far. Anchored off the Cafe de Beau Arts. More boats coming in. Waited until 1:00 when Uncle Francis and Gid came onboard and then started out. Francis and Jo Fletcher were cruising down in the machine but we could not wait for them any longer. Went out and anchored in the triangle nearer the course than yesterday. Not nearly as many boats as yesterday, but still a great many. Mostly small motorboats. The boats to race today are Dixie IV<\/i>, Disturber<\/i>, Viva<\/i>, and Pioneer<\/i>. The other English boats were disqualified, one because she gave up without finishing, and the other one because she was moved off the course by other than her own power. This does not seem very fair and made the race one sided. The race started promptly at 2:00, before we had finished dinner.

Went ashore before breakfast to the Fish Commission and watched the fish in the tanks for some time. Nothing in the tank outside. There are a lot of bell and whistling and can buoys etc. [stored] on the dock. Got underway just before 9:00 for Cotuit. [At] 9:00 passed Nobska Light. A fine great six-masted schooner coming out of Vineyard Sound. Anchored off Wianno about 11:00. Not a very good place to lie except in calm weather. Took our bathing suits ashore. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer met us on the wharf. Walked to their house and met their two children. Then went in bathing. Tide low and surf strong, but swam out to a sandbar which was much better. Their house is pleasantly situated on a bluff facing SE where they have a fine view over Nantucket Sound. The SW wind blows across them sideways through the pine trees which makes it very pleasant. The air is very soft and lazy and smells of the pines. They say the natives around here are very lazy. After dinner, we went to see their tennis court and stable, and Mrs. Sawyer and Millard and I took a walk along the bluff. There are a number of very pretty places here, but they lack a good harbor. Later, Clarence the two Sawyer girls and I took a nice ride with some friends in an auto. Had a very pleasant trip over to Hyannis and back. Roads [are] very good but soil was sandy. Had supper at the Sawyers' and came out onboard afterward. Bobbed around some all night but everyone stood it alright.

Uncle John, Mr. Sawyer, Nat, and Ber went in bathing. We walked along the beach. When the sun came out, the color affect was beautiful. The water on the horizon was purple and shaded through all the colors of blue and green to the yellow sand. Took some pictures of the surf but, of course, the colors won't show. Had a fine lunch onboard and then started back for Wianno. Passed the steamer Millinocket<\/i> of the A.H. Bull S[team] S[hip] Co.

Fog lifted some, but could not see much scenery going down Vineyard Sound. At 9:35 passed Gay Head. It looked bright even through the mist. A little later, [we] passed the topmasts of a 2-masted schooner sticking out of [the] water. At 10:16 anchored at No Mans Land and went ashore. Surf did not bother us about landing. All the fishing shacks were abandoned. There was an awful mess of old fish, rusting stoves, and shovels, dories, fish traps etc. scattered around on the shore. The Davis's house was closed. We looked in the windows and saw some peach and a pot of jam on the table and a calendar that said June, 1912. So we decided that they had gone to the mainland. The fog lifted while we were onshore so we could see Martha's Vineyard but could not see very far out to sea. There were a good many sheep on the island that were very wild, and a horse and a cow and calves. We walked across the island, the highest part. Some of the hands[?] were dried up. and the grass was pretty dry, but in the hollows the bushes were very green. We walked to the cliffs and enjoyed looking off [from them]. They seem about 100 feet high, and looked as if they must wash away every time there is a storm or heavy rain. They are much the same as the Gay Head cliffs without the red coloring. We walked along the cliffs and off to the eastward and around that end of the island. The cliffs gradually got lower till they got down to a sandy beach that has a fresh pond behind it. There are no trees except some silver leaves that are hardly more than bushes near the Davis house. Along the cliffs are posts driven down every once in a while, evidently to haul driftwood up the cliff. The island is the same formation as the other islands, all hills and hollows. We walked around half of the island, and Mr. Sawyer kept in around the rest while we investigated the fisherman shacks and sat on the beach. Most of the shacks were filthy inside [with] old newspapers, rustling stoves, rags, old comforters, dirt and etc. They must have been very comfortable once as some were plastered inside. The sheep shelters were very picturesque, [built of] rough stones piled up that held up a roof of driftwood and parts of old ships. We found a graveyard with three stones in it. After dinner, we got underway and went back into Vineyard Sound. The fog shut in some more, so we left just in time. Went through Quicks Hole and around to Cuttyhunk. Went into the inner harbor and anchored. Had just room to swing around between a catboat and a yawl. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer and I went ashore and walked up to the top and down the other side toward the lighthouse. It was too foggy to get any view except [of] the island itself. After we had walked along the cobblestones by the big pond, we met a small boy who was in the lighthouse. He had a skiff and said he would take us over to the island with the monument on it. There were two turtles in the skiff that he had caught in the pond. He said there were a good many there. Later, we saw two muskrats swimming around. The island is inhabited by two sheep which are quite tame, and a great many rabbits. We read the inscription on the monument, and walked around. Then got into the skiff and rowed back to the other end of the island. The pond is two or three feet lower than usual on account of the dry weather and we had a hard time finding a landing place. Finally, we got ashore safely and walked back around the fishing club and down the shady lane along the boardwalk to the landing at the entrance of the harbor. They have filled up the swampy place there with sand, evidently dredged out of the harbor. Thick fog all night. Wind more to the S.

Because first, one would stop, and then another. We did not wait for the finish but went in to see the water sports. We could not get close enough to see very much because other boats kept getting in the way. Only one of our small boats was used and all [of us] could not go in her, so we did not see much.

Kept on up to Dighton where we tied up to a wharf. Pretty up the river. They schooner Polly<\/i>, built in 1805, was laying alongside another wharf. [Polly<\/i> was owned and skippered by my great grandfather Chandler Farr.] We took some pictures of her, then went alongside and onboard and took some more. She looked pretty old, but it does not seem possible that she went privateering in the War of 1812 and captured 11 prizes.

Also, some other signs, so tied up to the wharf. There did not seem to be anyone around, so Papa went ashore. He finally found someone who said they did not have it there anymore, so we went on up to Essex and got some there. Christine and I went ashore. Pretty shaded street[s] with old fashioned homes. After getting gasoline, we anchored [#378p<\/a> Helianthus<\/i>] off the town and we got into Bubble<\/i> [#285p<\/a>] for a trip up the river. Had cleared off beautifully by this time with a light NW wind. Hot onshore. Very beautiful up the river. All the trees were bright green, and everything looked fresh and green after the rain. The river has not changed much except it seems prettier than ever. The distant hills had a blue haze over them, and as you came nearer, they turned green, and [then] more blue ones appeared in the distance, and beautiful cottony clouds floating overhead. There is a new bridge at Haddam, a light-looking affair that swings around with a very wide draw. Turned around at Middletown and headed down. Hot going before the wind. Stopped on the way down to pick some laurel that was growing on the bank under the trees. Very pretty. Had lunch about 2:00 and then started down the river. Hot till we got out in the Sound where a cool easterly breeze came up, and continued till we got to Long Island where it was hot again, and light SW wind. Went in by Plum Island and Sag Harbor where we anchored about 5:40. Went ashore and walked around some. Very hot and stifling onshore as the trees seem to shut out all the air.

Rose Garden. Then we stopped at her house and sat on the piazza a while. Then Dr. Loeb came along and we went to his laboratory. After looking through microscopes at sea urchins\u2019 eggs, etc. we went to the Loeb's new house. Saw Mrs. Loeb and Anne, Mrs. Leonard and a niece of Dr. Loeb\u2019s from Switzerland. The [Loeb] boys had gone fishing. Their house is very nice, a nice wide piazza on the Buzzards Bay side.

Then out to the stable that has a clock tower with a very accurate clock. First, we saw the monkeys and a queer South American animal with a long name, and a toucan in a cage. They have a parrot and other birds in the house. His daughter, Mrs. Hammond, is very fond of animals and we went to see her dogs next.

Then to the garage and were driven back to the house. We were shown around upstairs and then in the auto again and go [sic-went] down to his lake. He has a good deal of wooded land with roads through it. Soon we came to a path that led to a pretty lake, made larger but did not look so, as the bushes and grass and ferns grew right down to the water. We got into a skiff and he rowed us out into the lake. He threw over some shiners from a pail and the black bass came in hundreds and gobbled them up. They were so hungry that if you put your finger into the water they would bite hold, and you could haul them out of the water. After rowing around for some time, we got into the auto again to see the town of Greenwich. It is a much larger place than I thought and has a large colony of very nice people.

Most of the boats kept over toward Fishers Island till they got very close, and then headed out toward Race Rock Light. There was a strong head tide and they all stuck in a bunch when they got there and did not move, and some went backwards. So the ones ahead did not gain anything by their good start, as the ones behind caught up to them. While we were waiting, the Great Round Shoal Lightship passed, headed out. Wind gradually increased SSE and S and the boats got out of the tide and had a nice run around [to] the finish. Elena<\/i> [#706s<\/a>] got in first and was [first] in her class. Then Avenger<\/i> [#666s<\/a>]. Spartan<\/i> [#712s<\/a>] in her class. Intrepid<\/i> was a fine sight coming in under sail. Dianthus<\/i> [#289p<\/a>] came out to meet us. We did not wait for them all to finish. The battleships are still having maneuvers at the entrance to Long Island Sound. They were firing guns as we came along. They are trying to capture New York. Fleet much larger in Newport than in New London. Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] here with a larger smokestack with a black band around it; screens and curtains at all the windows; a table with a plant on it on the after deck; a speed launch in place of the cutter; and some of the brass rail painted over.

The harbor is very busy, with launches rushing back and forth and the racers getting underway. Went into the Yacht Club landing about 10:00 and picked up Josephine Gibson. Then went outside to see the start. Wind SE to S and almost calm. In the schooner class were Elena<\/i> [#706s<\/a>] and Irolita<\/i> [#657s<\/a>] --- and probably an F-[class] schooner, but she was so far behind we could not tell whether she was racing or not. In the sloop class were Barbara<\/i> [#717s<\/a>], Pleione<\/i> [#714s<\/a>], Spartan<\/i> [#712s<\/a>], Carolina<\/i> [#721s<\/a>], Iroquois II<\/i> [#713s<\/a>], Grayling<\/i> [#715s<\/a>], Acushla<\/i> [#720s<\/a>], Samuri<\/i> [#716s<\/a>], Avenger<\/i> [#666s<\/a>], Shimna<\/i> [#694s<\/a>], the Phryne<\/i> [#643s<\/a>] and another small one of 30-foot or P- class. The wind was so light that it was a long time before they got over the line. The course was to Vineyard Sound Lightship, then to the Hen and Chickens and back to Brenton's reef. We went out to Vineyard Sound Lightship, but not all the way to the Hen and Chickens. Quite a number of yachts out to see the race. Among them were Noma<\/i>, Vanadis<\/i>, Narada<\/i>, Naushon<\/i>, Sagamore<\/i>, Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>], Virginia<\/i>, etc. The wind was so light they were a long time getting around the marks. Most of the steam and power yachts followed the boats around. The Elena<\/i> was ahead of the schooners and Carolina<\/i> [ahead] of the sloops. Sid and Nat and Clarence were outside in the Kildee<\/i> [#460s<\/a>]. We took Nat and Clarence onboard. Did not wait for the finish. Landed J[osephine] G[ibson] at the Marsden Perry house. It was so smooth that we went in close and landed her on a little beach between the rocks. Then headed for Bristol. Got home about 6:30.

We saw them around both stakes. The Irolita<\/i> was ahead, Shimna<\/i> second, Grayling<\/i> third. There were a good many out to see the finish.

Picked up Miss [Josephine] G[ibson] at Narragansett [Pier] and went back to the lightship to see the start. Just as they were starting, twelve battleships came in in single file. As we started off to the eastward, they made a very effective background for the racers. We rolled a good deal going along. The larger schooners went ahead of us, but we kept along with the [New York] 50s. We gained on them some by not going around the lightship and by cutting across the shoal in the Sound. The Aloha<\/i> came along under full sail and was a fine sight. All the boats looked very pretty with their light sails up. Made a very quick run to West Chop, arriving there about 2:00. Wind very strong SW [and] Taormina<\/i> carried away her foretopmast. The finish was a fine sight. Avenger<\/i> [#666s<\/a>] beat Shimna<\/i> [#694s<\/a>] on time allowance.

Some of the boats went out this morning. Thermometer got up to 86 degrees. Mr. Shedden of the yacht club came onboard, and after a while we got underway and went out by East Chop and by Cottage City and into Edgartown where we tied up to a wharf and landed, and walked up the street and got very hot. The Sunday papers had just arrived. There was a large crowd around the store buying them. The wharf where we landed was not very safe [as] some of the planks were rather shaky. Then we went over to the bathing beach and tied up to the wharf there and undressed at the bathing houses and had a swim. The water was fine, but there was rather a strong tide running. After dinner, we started out and went into Lake Anthony and landed Mr. S[hedden] at Cottage City. Then went back to Vineyard Haven and got permission to leave the fleet from the flagship, and headed to Woods Hole. As soon as we got by West Chop the wind off the Sound was 15 degrees cooler than at Cottage City. Went through Woods Hole and into Hadley Harbor just as a thunderstorm was coming up. We just got the edge of it. When we were going back to Woods Hole the wind blew very hard and a squall came across the water and made it all white. We headed up into the wind and met [it], but fortunately, it went one side of us. Went in and anchored off the Fish Commission Wharf. After the rain stopped, Mrs. Loeb and Anne, and Mrs. Loeb's brother-in-law, came onboard a little while. Then we went ashore and to the Fish Commission. There were about the same fish as last time in the tanks and a lot of dogfish in the big tanks outside. Then Mary and I walked along the street and through the Seamore[?] Garden and back to the Fish Commission where we waited some time for the others to come. The weather had not cleared off and there seemed to be more thunderstorms and showers around. After supper, we went ashore to call on the Loebs. It rained and thundered and lightninged while we were there. We thought the rain had stopped when we left, but it began again before we got to the boat and we got rather damp.

Tide very low which made it much more interesting going up the river. We could see lots of rocks that are usually covered, and our waves would break on shoals that were just underwater. The tide was so low that it made the river seem very narrow, and some of the buoys along the side of the channel were laying down in the water.

We went out to the opening with her and then turned back to the harbor. No sea outside. Went into Brenton's Cove and then through the harbor.

Papa went on Resolute<\/i> [#725s<\/a>] and they started out on the tow about 8:45. Got underway about 9:45. Defiance<\/i> came back under sail as we went out. So, she has evidently decided not to race. Beautiful outside. Not rough, and a light wind. Too light for racing. Got out to the lightship just before the start. The course is triangular today. Not quite as many boats out today as yesterday to see the race. Then Vanitie<\/i> crossed first and Resolute<\/i> close behind. Vanitie<\/i> gained some on the first leg and rounded the mark first. Resolute<\/i> gained some on the second leg. After rounding the second mark, they had a luffing match and Resolute<\/i> got ahead. She crossed the Vanitie<\/i>'s bow very close and then got a good way ahead. But finally, Vanitie<\/i> got ahead again. We could not understand why, and [she] crossed the line ahead. But [even so,] Resolute<\/i> won on time allowance. It was a very interesting race to watch. The boats all saluted both racers, [same] as yesterday. It is very interesting to me to watch the steamships coming in and out. There seems to be a regular procession of them, with schooners and tugs scattered between. It was much clearer today and we could see the masts and upper works of the vessels when they were hull-down. Passed close to the Italian SS Taormina<\/i> when we were coming in. Anchored behind the Hook about 4:45. Hot. Calm. I guess it has been very hot onshore today. After supper, we wanted to mail some letters so we rowed in and the sentry consented to let us land on the shore after we told him where we were going, and another man piloted us to the post office. The Cape Cod<\/i> party came to call in the evening. [Photo(s) taken by A.M. Herreshoff on this day: Resolute<\/i> [#725s<\/a>] + Vanitie<\/i> before start off Sandy Hook (AMH Neg No 101-06), S.S.

Helianthus<\/i> [#288p<\/a>] troubled by circulating water. Mrs. Sawyer [was] left at 23rd St. station.
  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1914-1915 #288p<\/a> Helianthus I<\/i> log book:] Fine day. Warm before we started out. Had a squall from the NW early this AM but by 8:00 the wind had died out and was light S. Papa is going to stay on Helianthus<\/i> [#378p<\/a>] today so we can start home right after the race. Mr. Emmons and Mr. Adams came onboard for a short time after breakfast. We were very much amused watching some men, government employees from shore, in a boat dredging for something. Finally, they brought up a cable a short distance ahead of us about where we picked up one in the Roamer<\/i> [#215p<\/a>] eleven years ago. After they got the cable partly up, a tug came out from shore and asked us to move as we were in the way. So we got underway about 9:15. Resolute<\/i> [#725s<\/a>] went out under tow. Defiance<\/i> is not going to race. There was a nice SW breeze outside. It grew lighter later in the day but not as light as yesterday. About the same number of boats as yesterday out to see the race, including the Vanadis<\/i> with the race committee, Oneida<\/i>, Diana<\/i>, Mohican<\/i>, some powerboats, Cape Cod<\/i>, City of Stamford<\/i>, and the assigned press boat, Forward<\/i>. The tug John Timmons<\/i>[?] with photographers, including Nat [Herreshoff Jr.], onboard. Resolute<\/i> crossed first and kept ahead all the way, so the race was not as exciting as yesterday. The first leg went down along the New Jersey shore. They stood in quite close. We did not go all the way to see the second mark, but stayed with the finish. Resolute<\/i> crossed ahead [and] while we were waiting for the finish they hailed us from the Vanadis<\/i> and said they had a wireless message for Mrs. Sawyer onboard. We went alongside and got it and then she sent an answer. After the race, the Cape Cod<\/i> took the Resolute<\/i> in tow and started for Bristol outside of Long Island. We headed for New York, went over by Coney Island to keep out of the tide. There were swarms of people on the beach. The wind kept getting warmer and warmer although it was fresh NW in the Bay. Saw Bregas[?] at pier 35 and Caracas at Pier 11. Very strong head tide all the way. Stopped at the Yacht Club landing to land Mrs. Sawyer. Thermometer 89 degrees there. Vanadis<\/i> got there the same time we did to land Messrs. Cormack and Nichols. After we left the pier, the motor heated up and we went across and into Newtown Creek and got alongside a barge just in time. That was about 5:30 and they worked over the engine until after 8:00. The circulator was stopped up some way. It was a very dirty smelly place, and tugs kept rushing in and out and made such a sea that we had to be held off from the barge all the time. Finally, we moved along to a better place [along]side of a tug and had supper about 7:30. After a while, the motor seemed to be working well and we started out and got as far as Blackwell's Island when the motor suddenly heated up again and we had to tie up to a barge loaded with bricks. East River is a wonderful sight at night with all the lights lighted. After a while we set off again and the motor worked all right. Anchored at Whitestone about 10:20. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

After breakfast, got underway and went down to the Griswold House about 9:00 and picked up Mildred Sawyer. Then went over alongside of Resolute<\/i> [#725s<\/a>] and went onboard to look her over. Stopped alongside of Enchantress<\/i> and looked at her boom that was hit by Katoura<\/i> [#722s<\/a>] Wednesday night when she came in. Then went on up the river [and] went under the bridge all right. Not as many large yachts as usual up here. Went up and anchored off the Navy Yard.

The Resolute<\/i> and Cape Cod<\/i> and Katoura<\/i> stayed down in the harbor. The two Vagrants<\/i> [#698s<\/a> and #719s<\/a>] were down there last night. The second varsity 8-oar was rowed on time from Gales Ferry down to the Navy Yard. Harvard was early by about 29 seconds. We were in a fine position to see the finish. Not very many boats or much excitement, as it was drizzling. The freshman race started down soon after, and rowed down to the bridge. We got underway but did not get down in time to see the finish. When they passed us, Harvard was ahead. We went back and anchored below the Navy Yard. Rained part of the AM. After dinner, got underway and went up the river nearly as far as Norwich. Anchored at Gales Ferry on the way back to see the finish of the varsity race. There was a good-sized fleet of boats there, mostly house[boats], and more kept coming. Eugenia<\/i> and Enaj<\/i> and others. There were a great many small cruising houseboats. We anchored near a boat with a very noisy party onboard. They spent most of the time singing and laughing. After a while, the Chanticleer<\/i> launch came alongside with Augustine and two friends, and Serge vanWinkle. We asked them onboard and they stayed for the race, and we left them on the Chanticleer<\/i> on the way down. Nat went onboard a 30-footer near the finish line to take moving pictures of the race. The race was most exciting\u2014 Harvard was the least bit ahead when they went by us, and we could not tell how they finished. But [we] heard afterwards that Yale won by a few inches. There was great excitement afterwards and then the usual rush to get through the bridge. Nearly every boat we passed on the way down wanted to know how the race came out. There were a good many more boats down the river than in the morning. After taking the Bubble<\/i> [#285p<\/a>] in tow, we headed for Stonington and got there about 7:00. Mr. York came onboard to get Mildred Sawyer, and most of our party went ashore with them for a walk. Evening [was] very damp and cloudy. Rained in the night and then the wind came out NW and blew very hard. [Photo(s) taken by A.M. Herreshoff on this day: Harvard 8 oared subs[?] winning, Thames R.

After the finish, all the boats rushed back to the harbor. Passed a Fabre Line steamer going out. Anchored in Brenton Cove about 4:30, and Sid and Madeline went home in Bubble<\/i>.

Unfortunately, when we got close enough to photograph her, they furled her sails. It did not take them long to do it either. She was the Morning Star<\/i> of New Bedford, built in 1853. She was light and had a very large crew onboard. They told us [later] at New Bedford that she had sent part of her cargo home from the Western Isles. We went into New Bedford and got some gasoline at the S.O. [Socony Oil?] Pier. As we started out [again], the Morning Star<\/i> was being towed into her pier stern first. There were a few other whaleships and schooners at the piers. After leaving New Bedford, we went across the Bay and into Quisset Harbor and turned around. It looked as pretty as ever there. Then into Hadley's Harbor. The Kalinga<\/i> [#685s<\/a>][?] was just coming in from New Bedford when we got there. After leaving Hadley's Harbor, we went into Woods Hole and anchored.

The horse needed a great deal of urging to make him go faster than a walk, but we had a very pleasant trip. The moors are just beginning to turn beautiful colors, and with the blue sky softened by the pale haze, it was a wonderful sight. The scrub oak and (?) pines were green and the fruit of the beach plums was just beginning to turn. Near Sconset, they have started a very large cranberry farm. We looked around Sconset some and went down to the beach. Some of the places are closed. It was quite warm onshore. Had a pleasant drive back. Got off onboard about 1:30. There is a nice place to land here now at the Nantucket Yacht Club. The [steam ferry] Sankaty<\/i> had just come in and there were lots of people and carriages at the wharf to meet her.

  [From Agnes M. Herreshoff's 1914-1915 #288p<\/a> Helianthus I<\/i> log book:] Pleasant. Partly cloudy. Calm and light S air in PM. A sun halo in PM. Got underway about 9:30 with Aunt Carrie, Aunt Sally, Aunt Grace, Mr. Phillips, Papa, Nat and I onboard. Went out to the Katoura<\/i> [#722s<\/a>] and took her in tow and started for Newport. After we got started [we] towed her at the rate of five knots. The Commonwealth went down through the ferry ahead of us, and when we got down by Sandy Point [we] passed the Providence coming up. They are changing to their winter schedule. Dropped the Katoura<\/i> in the outer harbor. Papa and Mr. Phillips went aboard a while. Had lunch over by Jamestown, then went close along the shore around into Mackerel Cove. There were a number of people fishing on the rocks. The bushes and vines and grasses around the houses had turned the most beautiful colors, and the juniper trees looked very green. One place especially in Mackerel Cove, with the gray rocks in front and sticking up through the bushes, made a beautiful picture. Went back along the shore again and by the USSMinnesota<\/i>. Then over to Brenton's Cove. Mr. Morgan's boat landing has fallen to pieces since July. Went through Newport Harbor. Lots of destroyers at the torpedo station. The Commonwealth was tied up at the wharf at Newport. Went into Coasters Harbor and then home, getting back soon after 5:00.", }, {"ldate":"1914-10-05 Mon", "nghimg":"1914_NGH_Diary_25", "logimg":"", "amhimg":"", "amhpics":"", "logtxt":"[From N.G.

After the race, we got into the Bubble<\/i> [#285p<\/a>] and went down through the fleet and down to the lower harbor, and Papa went onboard the Katoura<\/i> [#722s<\/a>] awhile. The U.S.S.

Before we had finished lunch the Kanawha<\/i> came up and told us to move as she would anchor where we were on the range of the line. So, we got underway and went up the river aways. Gid took Sid down to the city in the Bubble<\/i> to meet a girl. When we got back to Gales Ferry there were so many boats near the finish that we anchored farther down where there were not so many boats. But more kept coming up all the time and soon we were surrounded. There were a good many more boats up there than I have ever seen before. Later on, the race was rowed about 6:00, Yale winning easily. All the Yale people seemed very happy and there was a great deal of cheering and waving of flags. After the race, we all started down and the whole river was covered with all kinds of boats going in the same direction. Every once in a while, a fast boat would go by passing everything. We had to wait a long time at the bridge [and] had supper while waiting. Landed Gid and Miss Haynes at the city about 7:45. Then went down and anchored in our usual place for the night. Calm moonlight night. Sat on the deck and sang in the evening. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

After lunch we went ashore, except Papa, and walked over to the south side. The island is all hills and hollows. There are some quite large ponds. The cliffs on the south side are from 100 to 150 feet high. Very steep in some places. They are clay and gravel and washed out in queer shapes. The boys rolled rocks down from the top [and] they went at pretty good speed and bounded from one bump to another. There are a few houses in a small hotel on the south side. We walked along the cliff and to the lighthouse at the southeast point. There was some fog out to sea and later it cleared up. and before we got onboard. we had a shower and the wind changed way round to the E and cleared off again. From the lighthouse, we walked back across the country as they said it was 2-1\/2 miles by road. We climbed a good many stone walls and went through some fields of high grass, but followed paths most of the way. We got to the road just as the shower began and hurried along, but by the time we got back to the boat, the shower was over. We found it quite warm onshore when the sun was shining. We measured up our course on the chart and found we must have walked about 8 miles. More boats came in this afternoon, among them the Menashantis[?] that was anchored near us at Gales Ferry. By evening, there were none motorboats, two steam yachts (Oneida<\/i> and Christobel<\/i>), one schooner yacht, one yawl, two sloops, and a catboat.

The Bubble<\/i> [#285p<\/a>] came out to see the finish. When she went full ahead, clouds of spray went over her. After the race, we went in the harbor and and spoke to Resolute<\/i>'s people awhile.

The Commodore was very busy rushing around in his launch saying that everyone was getting ready to form a line to go through the canal. Orders had been issued before as to which boats were to tow which ones, and in what order that they would come. The boats that were not towing came through afterwards when they pleased. There were lots of people along the canal watching the boats go through. Mildred Sawyer was there to pick up Mr. Sawyer when we dropped him at the other end of the canal. We dropped our tow soon after we got through, but most of the others towed as far as Plymouth where the race started about 11:00. It was choppy in Cape Cod Bay. Wind E, damp and cloudy, but as we got up farther the wind died down and the sun gradually came out as a welcome sight. The wind was somewhat variable and E the rest of the day. As we get farther up there was some ground swell. Waited off Boston Lightship for the boats to come up [and] saw some fishing schooners and steamers, including the White Star liner Kemetic[?] going out. Wind [was] pretty light and [we saw] a bunch of Mother Cary's Chickens and also gulls. We sat in the sun and got dried out. After awhile, we went along to the finish at Marblehead Rock. Resolute<\/i> [#725s<\/a>] won by about 20 minutes. The others were a long way behind, so we went over by Beverly and Salem and then anchored at the head of Marblehead Harbor about 6:00. Fine large fleet in here. Beautiful sight! It is hard to realize we are in Marblehead so soon after leaving Buzzards Bay this AM. After supper, Papa and Mrs. Sawyer and Mary went ashore a little while. A band played all the evening and at 8:00, the harbor was illuminated with red fire all the way around the shore which made a fine sight. Then they had some nice fireworks.

Got underway after breakfast and went down to the Yacht Club landing. Then up to the city. Put the steward ashore. He seemed to be dazed and did not know what he was doing. Then went out to see the start. The fog had cleared up. A fine fleet of boats racing [including the New York] 30s, 40s, and 50s. Also, the Doris<\/i> [#625s<\/a>], Kalinga<\/i> [#685s<\/a>], Aurora<\/i> [#667s<\/a>], and Winsome<\/i> [#664s<\/a>]. Also, schooners including the Elena<\/i> [#706s<\/a>]. Very pretty sight, but wind light SE. Stopped in the lee of Fishers Island for lunch and then started home. Had a very pleasant run. Home at 5:45. Are trying to get another cook and start again tomorrow. [Photo(s) taken by A.M.

Got underway about 9:15 to see the Astor Cup Race, with Miss Vanwinkle, Mr. Phillips, Helen Warren, Anna Herreshoff, Norman, Nat, Clarence, Ann, Papa and me onboard. Went right outside. A good number of yachts out to see the race. Sagamore<\/i> with Bristol Yacht Club [onboard]. Race started at 11:15. Good breeze.

Course [was] to north end of Block Island to the Sakonnet, and to Brentons Reef --- 38 miles. We saw them all round the first mark. Elena<\/i> [#706s<\/a>] first, then Vagrant<\/i>. Aurora<\/i> ahead of the sloops, Barbara<\/i> of the 50s. Then we went back to Brenton's Reef and got there just in time to see the Elena<\/i> come in 53 minutes ahead of the next boat, which was the Aurora<\/i>. The Vagrant<\/i> had disappeared, [but] we found her in the harbor later with a broken fore gaff. While we were waiting, a flying machine came out and circled around a few times.

There was more swell in the afternoon and we jumped around a good deal. Just after the Aurora<\/i> finished, a very bad squall came up from the WNW. When it struck the yachts, they lay way over [with] some nearly on their beam ends. Some carried on all sail and others struggled to get [in] their jibs[?] topsails, etc. It was very exciting. The wind blew the tops right off the seas. Soon the rain came and shut out everything for awhile. The Carolina<\/i> was the next to finish. Then we went into the harbor and spoke to a number of boats, then home about 6:40. Calm and cloudy. The Magistrate<\/i> [#301p<\/a>] came up to get a new gaff for Vagrant<\/i>. They will work on it tonight. Elena<\/i> made very quick time over the course: 4 hours and one minute. [With laid-in newspaper clipping 'Summary of Astor Cup Races'.] [Photo(s) taken by A.M.
