Cap Chittenden who is probably better known than any other yachtsmen on the Bay and who piloted the Chispa in yesterday's race, has sailed up and down this coast for forty five years and knows every tide eddy in the bay and almost every wind streak. Many will congratulate the old captain as thousands have sailed on his yachts Sapho , White Wings and Lively during the time that he sailed these different yachts in early days and be it said to his credit, always without an accident.Collection
