THE ATLANTIC CROSSED
AMERICA'S CUP CHALLENGER ENDEAVOUR REACHES NEWPORT NEWPORT, May 25. (Received May 25, at 9.30 p.m.) The Endeavour arrived, towed by the Viva, which relieved the coastguard cutter 20 miles out. The Endeavour was escorted by the yacht Yankee and the schooner Atlantic. Captain Ned Heard said the crew of 19 were none the worse as the result of their experience. He revealed that the tow line was purposely dropped at the height of the storm to make the going easier in the heavy sea. The Viva's crew was unaware of this. The Endeavour was becalmed for three days, but had no difficulty after that.
