They never pull against another crew till they meet us for the final tug on the Thames. The only method which they have of ascertaining what speed their crew can get on is that of time rows, and the record of these is below par. Bent on an opposite policy, our crew has always been glad to meet other shells on the river. Many brushes take place with the class crews...
