Still there were not wanting those who thought the advantage allowed the "Lantas," as they called the Corinna boatcrew, was too great, and that it would be impossible for the "Quins" to make it up and go by them. The Algonquins rowed up and down a few times before the spectators.
The bow of the Algonquin is on a level with the middle of the Atalanta! Three more lengths' rowing and the college crew will pass the girls! "Hurrah for the Quins!" The Algonquin ranges up alongside of the Atalanta! "Through with her!" shouts the captain of the Algonquin. "Now, girls!" shrieks the captain of the Atalanta. They near the line, every rower straining desperately, almost madly.
