I never encountered weather of this kind before, the master, a veteran of 35 years as a seafarer, declared, adding that although there was no wind to speak of, there was a violent movement of the entire area In a northeasterly direction at a rate of about 40 knots.

It ranged between 45 and 50 degrees. The heSvy rain and the turbulent sea were most depressing, Commodore Manning added He estimated that the storm covered a circular are 300 to 600 miles In diameter. Because of the unusual nature of the disturbance, the commodore said he would write a special letter to the weather bureau about it. He pointed out that winds of about 25 knots normally would accompany sea swells of intensity. Commodore Manning said he could have arrived on time if he had maintained cruising speed.

Research now is being undertaken by the Preservation Society of Newport to investigate the claim that it was built by Norsemen more than 100 years before the arrival of Columbua. Counter contention Is that structure is simply an old windmill built In the 1660a by Benedict Arnold, then governor of Rhode Island. . The toughest part of the trip if to keep on concentrating, one of the leaders said. You can concentrate only just so long, then something snaps. For example, you come to a shot that calls for a No. 3 or a No. 4 Iron. You are not certain which. The right thing to do it to say this needs a three Iron or a four iron and forget the rest of it. But the odds are you'll be undecided when you hit the shot maybe trying to press a four or spare a three anyway still wondering. The pressure is terrific, Locke added. Recently I had two 70s four, under par for the first two rounds. That Isn't bad golf. There is nothing wicked about it. Yet I was eight strokes back of the leader, who by then was 12 strokes under par. There are times when you get a feeling of hopelessness of whats the use? four under par yourself and eight strokes from the top.
