Perkins at No. 5 seems to be responsible for much of this, for he is inclined to rush out on his slide so fast that he has to wait at full reach, thus making a distinct hang. Jennings at No. 4 has lately changed from the starboard to the port side of the boat, but this would hardly account for his lifelessness and evident slowness of movement which breaks up the time of the four bow men. Manning at No. 2 is also slow and exhibits...
