The fact is [[underlined]] Jazz - niggers [[/underlined]] [[strikethrough]] been [[/strikethrough]] have incomparably [[underlined]] more importance at present in Europe than in the U.S. [[/underlined]] and have become correspondingly more [[underlined]] arrogant, more impudent. [[/underlined]] This may create unpleasant complications [[underlined]] after these arrogant Jazz-idols return home, and spread their arrogance amongst the blacks at home, and thus complicate further the color-question [[/underlined]]
[[underlined]] Sept 13. [[/underlined]] I noticed that the little [[underlined]] sloop rigged sailboats on the Alster [[/underlined]] have a very clever way [[underlined]] for dipping their masts [[/underlined]] ([[strikethrough]] jib rigged [[/strikethrough]] jib [[headed?]] sails) [[underlined]] when passing under the bridges [[/underlined]] of the Alster.

[[underlined]] tabernacle [[/underlined]] which is provided with a strong [[strikethrough]] s [[/strikethrough]] transverse pin which acts as a fulcrum. The man in the [[underlined]] cockpit commands the whole operation [[/underlined]] of lowering the mast by [[underlined]] releasing a wire rope [[/underlined]] ending in Manilla rope which is [[underlined]] fastened to a cleat [[/underlined]] in the cockpit and which commands a straight horizontal galvanized steel bar which acts as a [[underlined]] bowsprit [[/underlined]] for the jib sail and [[underlined]] on which is attached [[/underlined]] on a fore-eye the forestay of the mast. By [[underlined]] releasing the rope in the cockpit the mast falls backward and the steel galvanized bowsprit [[/underlined]] rod acts as to give a better lead to the rope which commands this lowering operation. In order to make the [[underlined]] outfit more rigid an [[strikethrough]] iron [[/strikethrough]] ^[[steel]] [[/underlined]] brace is provided to the [[underlined]] angle formed between the foot of the mast and the bowsprit rod. [[/underlined]] This [[underlined]] outfit would well be adapted to small craft [[/underlined]] in our waters. See sketch next page.
