...twenty days earlier than last year, the crew were out on the river, and since then have been able, except on Wednesday last, to get daily practice. The eight, as first made up, was as follows: Harriman 1, W. Le Moyne 2, Legate 3, Smith 4, Brigham 5, Schwartz 6, Jacobs 7, and Bancroft 8.

Brigham hurries his body forward, pauses, and catches just too late, in which fault he is followed by Legate; his back and shoulders are not firmly set, and he seems to lack control...
