...crew's showing during the past few days has been encouraging on the whole, and the men have acquired better control of their slides. On the other hand, the boat has travelled poorly at times, and there seems to be some difficulty about steadying down after a racing start.

His repeated shifts did not better matters. It was evident that the men were dissatisfied...
