Miss Mil- ler had stopped opposite the Silver | Lake filling station to allow a girl | friend to alight and was proceeding | northward preparatory to making | the turn when the other car being | driven by Humason hove into sight. | Confused as to just what course | either driver was going to follow, | both drivers continued on their way | and Humason drove his car to the extreme right side of the road but not far enough to avoid the collision. | Both cars came together head-on | and the impact caused the heavier New Britain car to overturn. Passing motorists and spectators of the crash found Miss Brown and Miss Wasick to be suffering from | minor bruises and lacerations and they took the girls to the Meriden hospital where it was found neces- sary to take two stitches in a wound | on Miss Brown's left wrist.

SHANROCH REPAIRS COWHENGED TODAY Challenger Being Groomed o Goming Yacht Races New London, Aug. 15 (#) — The Jury mizzenmast was removed from Sir Thomas Lipton's sloop Shamrock V at the shipyard of the Electric Boat company today and other work necessafy for fitting her out for the ! international sailing s off New- »ort next month was in full swing. he Shamrock is challenger fag the umerica’s cup. She arrived here Wedgesday night after a stormy passage' across the Atlantic from England and was taken alongside the shipyard wharf this morning. A power launch towed her from mid-harbor, where she had been anchored since arrival, | to a point near the wharf and she was pulled the rest of the way to| her berth by men on the whar. So that the craft would not rub against the wharf and possibly be damaged, lines were made fast from | dolphins to hold the yacht about a foot out. Other lines were made fast to the wharf and the Shamrock is | held securely. While employes of the Boat Co. went forward won: of removing the stick aft, the crew of cleaned out her hold. The galley stove, mess equipment, and various articles of furniture were removed. Rain, which fell steadily much of the time, did not interfere with ac- tivities. It was said today that the main part of the Shamrock's “fish pole jointed"” mast, which was used in its racing position during the Atlantic crossing, will be left in and the top #ection will be stepped. Possibly, it was said, the work of stebping the most will begin tomorrow. Spe- cial gear for the work was being ar- ranged. | According to present plans men will go up the big stick, which now | towers more than 100 feet, and fa ten hoisting gear at the peak, fol- | lowing which a big stick will be hoisted and lash to the mast near | the, top. Hoisting gear will then be | transferred to the stock, which will | extend about 30 feet above the joint of the mast and thé second section of the mast will be lifted and fitted | in place. | To Receive New Paint Coat | The Shamrock will be hauled out for cleaning and painting early next | week af the local yard. Henry B.| Plant’s yacht Thelma is now on the | marine railway, but she is nearly ready to go over. The pride of Sir Thomas will be dressed in pea green, her present color, albeit her dress is now somewhat faded—testimony to the wearing effects of heavy seas. | Varnish on her upper works will be | renewed. 1t is expected the challenger will | be ready to sail within a week, ahd she will be taken out for trial spins | oft this port. With everything | judged perfect, she will proceed to | her permanent mooring at Newport. Spare masts, booms and gear, re- moved from Sir Thomas's steam vacht Erin, which convoyed | Shamrock here, have been placed | aboard the converted houseboat Kil- | larney, which quarters the crew of | the racer. The Killarney is along- | gide a wharf at the Electric Boat | company yard. | ' The Erin was still here today but she is expected to leave late tonight | or tomorrow morning for New York, where she is to be boarded by Sir Thomas, who will arrive at New | York tomorrow on the Leviathan. | The veteran Irish sportsman will | come to this port on the Erin Tues- | 4ay or Wedresday of next week, ¥ Electric with the temporary the racer llow prisoners in Yeroda jail ‘beleagutn‘d by Afridi tribesmen, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1930.
