The strong Bouth-wost wind blowing caused a very heavy sea. After reaching the Lamp Post, off Shortland, the Gemini cipei^ed The Chance picked up the crew of the Gemini and returned, the White Swan iilso doing the tans after rounding tha first buoy. This race was left unfinished, owing to the rough sea.
