'.Masury, owner of the schooner yacht Brunhilde, has shared the troubles of many yacht owners who were abroad .when the war started. The Brunhilde is tied up in the harbor of (Rio Janeiro. While in the port of ißuenos 'Ayres “Captain” 'Masury paid $2,000 to the cap tain of a Spanish torpedo boat to allow him to get out to sea. He was followed into the harbor of Rio Janeiro, where the price oi freedom was put at $4,000. “Captain” 'Masury a-pealed to the Amer ican consul and characterized the act of the torpedo boat captain as that of a pirate He was promised the protection of his consul while he remained in port, Ibut he was at the mer<w of the 'Spaniard if he ventured out to the open sea.

He is a member of the New York Yacht Club and other clubs in this neighborhood. He came into the possesion of $2,000,000 in 1896 as his share of his grandfathers’ will.
