A Boston Post critique charges the Boston Globe with false claims of having exclusive news on the Defender accident. The Post asserts every afternoon paper published the full report on Tuesday and labels the Globe’s five contradictory statements as prevarication and misrepresentation.
Reports from eight sources explain minor differences in yacht accident stories. Each writer saw the scene from a distinct angle, reflecting their vantage point on the vessels and the gear. The Globe's cable steamer provided the sole city report, underscoring press variation and claimed cable steamers as common property.
The Globe is the only paper reporting the defender's injury while other sheets attempt to discredit it. The piece highlights inconsistent coverage and defends the Globe's account as the definitive source on the incident.
Fragmented OCR text suggests accusations that the Globe’s Peeneciel service lagged behind, with mentions of bulletins, lies, and disputes over coverage quality. The garbled passage references a board, a full story on a site, and criticism of reporting delays and credibility.
Report from Highlands New Jersey details a late start foul between Defender and Valkyrie. Valkyrie forced across the line as Captain Cranfield maneuvered to hold windward position, topmast backstay shattered, Defender protested but pursued.
In the America's Cup series race at SANDY HOOK, the Valkyrie crossed first while the Defender faltered to keep within two minutes. A start accident disrupted the field as the Valkyrie’s boom fouled the mainsail gaff, fouling the preventer and breaking the topmast, delaying the stragglers.
Crowding in of excursion boats caused the collision as both yachts trailed behind the starting signal. Valkyrie, windward, rode toward a steamer bow, fender and helm actions cited, with confusion noted as the sail plan and positions shifted.
New York Yacht Club regatta committee sustains Iselin protest against Valkyrie and awards yesterday’s race to Defender after testimony from captains and witnesses. Committee cites Valkyrie fouling Defender by bearing down and swinging mainsail boom, with Lord Dunraven disputing the ruling and planning tomorrow’s third international race.
The New York Tribune reports Captain Haff reacting to the Defender winning the regatta committee decision and noting the Defender may refuse to sail on a foul and offer a re sail. Iselin described as unsure about any resail possibility.
Lord Dunraven, in New York, says he will sail tomorrow as a sportsman and trusts the New York Yacht Club regatta committee’s impartiality. He denies plans for any new adverse actions and acknowledges Mr Watson’s agreement to build a good boat, while noting no chance for a retail offer from Mr Iselin. Continued on page 2.
