Aside from the unnecessary strain upon energy which would result from a protracted parade, there is always the danger of attaching undesirable recruits.

At the half mile the second Newell was slightly in the lead and the second Weld had fallen back a little but all the crews were within a boat's length of one another. At the bridge the second Newell was a length...
