There wasn't much wind stirring then, but it promised to breeze up, or so the skipper thought, and I'm sure I was glad to hear him say it, for the harder it blew the sooner we would get to New York and the better our chance to beat the porgyman. First in to market got the cream. It was pretty well on to daybreak when the porgy steamer got up abreast of us and after a while worked by.
"I know her the Nautilus and if this one under us ain't logging her fourteen good then I don't know. And she'll be doing better yet before we see New York." They were driving the porgyman then, but she was fated. Once we began to get her she came back to us fast enough, and once she was astern she troubled us no more.
After the porgyman we passed a big white yacht, evidently just up from the West Indies after a winter's cruise. She looked a model for a good sailer, but there was no chance to try her out, for they had her under shortened sail when we went by. There was a New York blue-fisherman on our weather bow bound for New York, too, and the way we went by her was a scandal.
