...large Whitehall boat, so familiar to frequenters of the boat-house, is to be immediately refitted for service and once more launched. It will be remembered that this is the boat in which the present vice-president of our Boat Club, with the assistance of Mr. Faulkner, last year heroically rescued from drowning a man whose shell had capsized. The craft will be moored at the float, for the general convenience of the H. U. B.

Each member of the crew should endeavor to row every stroke as evenly as possible, and should never row one carelessly. The men still fail to realize the necessity of constant attention while at work. Not only when being coached, but from the time the boat is taken from the rests till it is replaced, must their earnest attention be fixed on what they are doing...
