Without any racing start the shell was carried up stream at the rate of 26 strokes to the minute. This gait was held till the crew reached the three-mile flag; there the stroke was raised to 30, and, after passing through the swell from a steamer, the "Chelsea," the crew gradually quickened their stroke.
