After an hour, most of the boats had given up and turned back to port. The rest wished they had. Owner-Driver John Raulerson and a crewman had to be pulled off his wallowing, 33-ft. Tin Fish by the Coast Guard (at week's end the empty boat was still floating somewhere in the Gulf Stream). World Champion Dick Bertram didn't even have time to radio for help. Brave Moppie was blasting along at 50 m.p.h. in second place, behind Thunderbird, when disaster struck. "A red warning light suddenly went on, meaning water in the bilge...

Then, while the band played Anchors Aweigh, the two space travelers walked briskly down the red carpet of welcome between lines of cheering sailors and marines...
...dogged Indians. Back on the set, he found even such old pros as Major, the 500-lb. lion, were acting up. When Major refused to roar on cue, his trainer jabbed him in the nose with a long pole. No luck. Director Robert Day then ordered a native crewman to sneak up from behind and prod Major's rump. The Brazilian blanched and declined-until he was given an on-the-spot salary hike. Later on, Major shifted from depressive to manic, escaped during a Rio zoo take, sent visitors scrambling for their lives as he rambled free...
