There was no direct word this morn- ing that any of the fleet was within striking distance of the finish.

A heavy rain fell at Havana last night and Dr. Jose Carlos Millas, director of { the National Observatory, said low pres- sure areas continued over the Florida | Straits with thunderstorm conditions and strong. southerly winds north of Havana. He warned that a center of the low pressures might form within 24 hours with possibility of storms.
