At 12.45 both Valkyrie III, and Vigi- lant were still at anchor, swinging lazily ith the tide. There has been no wind strong enough to make three Knots an hour, Valkyrie had her jib and stay- sail up In stops and seemed ready at any moment to take advantage of any passing wind that might be strong enough to test her speed, About 2 o'clock Valkyrie took the stops off her jib and pulled the sheet home.
