He seated on the deck of Defender and seemed to be an Interested observer of all that was go- ing on His big steam yacht Valla: less than two bundred yards away. She was under steam and was prepared to follow the yacht to the starting point. Mr. Iselin, Mr, Herreshoff and the guests who usually sail on Defender were nowhere to be seen, but the Hattle Palmer was near by and they might have been getting their breakfast on board the tender, Valkyrie IJ rode at anchor, a quar- ter of @ mile to the southward, Two sailors were the sole occupants of her deck, The remainder of the crew were aboard the City of Bridgeport, as were also Lord Dunraven, his captains, sail- maker and friends.
