the
Resolute’s
supporters
took
great
comfort
in
the
fact that she
was
leading the challenger by about
two miles
vhen the match
was declared off Measyr-
ed in actual
progress

the far away
stake
in the prevailing
wind, this meant
about
an hour’s
sailing

consumed
a
trifle
more
than
four
and
a half
hours
in covering
nine miles
of

covered
considerably
more

immedi-
ately after

Capt.
Adams
of the
Resolute

got
in

luffing
match
that

far
off

well
1n to-
wards
the
Jersey
shore.
When
they fi-
nally
came
about
after
an
hour and
20
sinutes
of sailing that had carried
them
only
a
short
distance
nearer
the mark
than they
were
at the start
the
Resolute
had
picked
up
the 56
seconds
lead the
Shamrock
took
at
the
start
and
soon
passed
the
challenzer.
But
the breath
of
wind
that
had
given
the committee
sufficient
hope
to start
the race
had
died
out
by
this
time
and
the
sloops
fairly
drifted until the
match
was declared
off.
