LOSS OF THE MIZPAH.
"Amateur Sailor" is very hasty in stating that I made a comparison of strength between the Mizpah and the Teddy. The latter vessel was only mentioned with regard to the circumstances connected with its loss.. its strength, it very soon became a mass of driftwood. Anyway, if heavy timbers are of such importahce s how did the Australian who crossed the Pacific in the Elaine, a 16ft open boat, similar to dozens on the Waitemata, manage to survive? Strange to relate, this vessel was lost on the shores of Los Angeles Harbour during a gale shortly after its arrival another trick of fate. What. "Amateur Sailor" is driving at with reference to charts I am at a loss to understand, but if ho has found something more modern to replace them, please let me know. It is never too late to learn, in spite of the nom do plume. LARBOARD WATCH.
