A dozen boats were swamped, their crews rescued by other racers, while several drivers were forced to swim to shore after their boats had been capsized by mountainous waves.

Only three of the 22 starters reached Pittsburg, half- way mark on the race course. AIl were long overdue and fear was expressed for their safety when none of them arrived on ule. Rescue crews dispatched from Pittsburg and other bay points succeeded in finding many of the disabled craft, while other racers turned their boats back to shore, unable to steer. in a choppy sea against strong winds.
