To the Editor of the Nozra-Carva Dany News.
Dear Str.—I shall be nich obliged if you will correct the sic made by The Reco for the Nou Owners Prize last our Yachting Reporter (in his account
Saturday) that the sailing master of the, Loreley was heard to exclaim that if he hada gun he would shoot the Captain of Fairy.
Of course it is not likely that all that is written in describing a Yacht Race is taken in sober earnestness; but I submit that it is going a little to far when such words as I have quoted are put into one's mouth, for Facing Lam certain that 1 never said anything of the kind. I wish to disclaim ever having entertained any such bloodthirsty intention with regard to the Captain of the Fairy, who I think deserves the thanks of the Shanghai Yacht Club for having given his a pi it outing & good view of the Race.
Trusting that you will be good enough to let this appear in your next issue, Lam, Dear Sir, Your faithfully, Croon, 15th October, [Our informants were doubtless mistaken 5 but we and we are sure they never supposed that Captain Croal was in a bloodthirsty mood at any time during the race. The remit! was used as illustrative of the annoyance caused by the Fairy.—Ep.]
