Before the mile post was reached the Goi rowing beautifully, and having the advantage of the tide, were leading, the Scotch dropping back, whilst the English, still further out towards the centre, were' making comparatively slow progress. The Inish were gamely challenging the Germans as they went along, but they had to change their course a little to avoid a junk. Through the rather lumpy water approach ing the men-of-war the Germans improved their advantage, and increased it considerably a short distance further on by going inside of the Whangpoo tug which was at anchor. At the commencement of the line of houseboats, it could be seen that the Scotch boat was not going well, and directly after the crew ceased rowing. The Germans, going on in capital style, held their own and finally won by two lengths and a half from the Irish, the English being a similar distance behind the latter.
