...thing looks feasible, Min; but you don't want to be too preliminary in these sort of things. I am a little shaky about the crew. I don't like the stroke Jennie Sinews sets : she buckets, and isn't quick enough on the recover. Then, the bow there is terrible, terrible. Sal Biceps will never make a good oar : back's too short; all her strength lies in her arms. As for Billy Pigmy, the coxswain, he'll lose his head when he sees Biddy Cooke's crew alongside of ours at New London. There! look now, how your...

...seven lets his oar fly up on full reach, and does n't always sit up at finish; eight lets his oar fly up at full reach, fails to pull through always, and meets at time. The whole crew tends to bucket on full reach and fails to shoot quick enough...
