There was nothing to do but abandon ship and take to the rowboat. Mournfully the professor watched his dream of ten years, his $100,000 yacht on which he had no insurance, flop top-heavily on its side.

...mallet wrist strapped to keep a loose tendon in place, it looked bad for Sonny Whitney's side. A few moments later it looked even worse when Sonny was cracked on the forehead by Cousin Jock's mallet, carried to a first aid tent to have the gash stitched together. But, like most poloists who refuse to be downed unless they are out, Westbury's Back was back in the game, after a rest of 20 minutes, with a bandage around his head, carrying on like the spirit...
