...weather." Next day Enterprise flew all her flags in celebration. Skipper Vanderbilt went ashore, played a few sets of tennis but came back in time to take her out for a sail after lunch. Down came the sails of the three beaten sloops, their tenders pulled close to tow them away. Polite in defeat, the crews, skippers, and syndicates of Weetamoe and Yankee felt that if Shamrock V had stayed in New London instead of coming to Newport the trials might have gone on. Shamrock had scared the committee by showing what she could do in light winds...

From the South Seas he went through Torres Strait across the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, north to St. Helena, to the Cape Verde Islands (where he stayed ten months to write this...
Builder Story smoked a corncob pipe, watching the tug Eveleth pick up the schooner to tow her to Gloucester. Five generations of Storys, tall, spare, taciturn, have built fishing boats at the same deep crook in the stream called the Essex River . . . little Chebacco Boats, Heel Tappers and Pinkeys, the bigger boats of the 1850's, the 1890's.
