HELSINGFORS: SWINGING THE SHIP
NEXT morning I came on deck to find Racundra in the delightful anchorage of the Nylands Yacht Club. The Club House is itself on an island, and with other islands of pink and grey rock and a cliff on the mainland close above the water, gives perfect shelter to the little fleet that lie to mooring-buoys in this southern corner of Helsingfors harbour. The harbour proper lay before us, with white steamships along the quays, on which were the low Customs houses, the booths of a busy market, blue trams slipping swiftly by – a lively, comfortable scene – while over all were the great domed church and the cathedral spires that I have often admired from the sea when in ships bigger but not better than Racundra. Wirgo and I went ashore in the dinghy, he to hurry back to Reval by steamship and I to look for the friends who, after waiting for us last night in the Club House, had supposed that the fog had kept us on the other side of the Gulf.
