...proof, with his first command- Himself alone, and no man to gainsay him. On him the end, the means, and the word. And the harsher judgment if he erred, And-outboard-ocean waiting to betray him. VIII "Wherefore, when he came to be crowned, Strength in duty held him bound, So that not power misled nor ease ensnared him Who had spared himself no more than his seas had spared him!" IX After his lieges, in all his lands, Had laid their hands between his hands And his ships thundered service and devotion, The tide wave, ranging the planet, spoke...
Mamie Keselenko and Regina Lazar, two mildly adventurous Manhattan schoolteachers on a holiday jaunt to Mexico City, counted themselves very lucky last week when, hardly out of New York harbor on the 5.5. Oriente bound for Havana, they fell in with a voluble group of Manhattan intellectuals.

Vamarie, the sleek ketch in which Vadim Makaroff carries on the seagoing tradition established by his Russian-admiral father, was first into port. Since she was scratch boat in the fleet of six that had sailed out of Newport, bound across the Atlantic for Bergen, Norway 19, days before, that meant nothing. Five hours later, a smaller boat, the yawl Stormy Weather, followed Vamarie, over which her time allowance was 47 hours. After a short wait to see whether the smallest boat in the race, the German Stoertebeker, would arrive in time to beat Stormy Weather, the race was officially...
...landings. To suggestions that he take the tiny craft in tow, rescue her crew, the Black Gull's captain, Leonard Frisco, explained why this was inadvisable. No derelict, the boat was the German yawl Stoertebeker. With five other minuscule vessels, which left Newport a fortnight before, she was bound for Bergen, Norway, in a transatlantic sailing race...
