21_39	best conditions. The panoramas from the launching sites are vast and sweeping; on the south side
21_40	you can see all the way to the Central Dolomites. Speikboden is located directly to the south of
21_41	the Zillertal Alpine Divide which means it is poorly shielded from the wind from the north and
21_42	flying is not recommended if this wind is too strong. The towering Durreck range behind Speikboden
21_43	does, however, protect the launching areas from moderate north-winds.
21_44	Hiking
21_45	The development of Speikboden as a hiking area began as far back as the 1870s. Founded by Josef
21_46	Daimer in 1873, the Sand in Taufers section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club constructed the
21_47	Sonklarhütte refuge and, leading up to the hut, the "Herrenweg" track which was renamed "Daimerweg"
21_48	in 1903 in honour of Josef Daimer. The construction of the Chemnitzer Hütte mountain hut by the
21_49	Alpine Club Chemnitz section in 1895 can also be credited to the initiative and untiring efforts of
21_50	Josef Daimler. The high-altitude trail "Kellerbauerweg" was created in 1906 with the purpose of
21_51	connecting the two mountain shelters Sonklarhütte and Chemnitzer Hütte.
21_52	In the 1990s efforts were rekindled to improve and expand the network of hiking trails centred
21_53	around the Daimerweg and Kellerbauerweg trails - a process that is still on-going today. The
21_54	Speikboden massif now boasts 90 kilometres of hiking tracks. The maintenance and further extension
21_55	of this network are carried out by the employees of the lift company.
21_56	Sonklarhütte
21_57	Located to the south of the summit at an altitude of 2,420 m, the Sonklarhütte refuge was
21_58	originally constructed back in 1876 by the former Sand in Taufers section of the German and
21_59	Austrian Alpine Club and was named after Carl Sonklar. The hut was built in the space of just a few
21_60	weeks and was one of the first of its kind in South Tyrol. Initially offering overnight
21_61	accommodation for just 10 people it quickly proved too small and a new, larger hut was built in
21_62	1899. During the First World War the hut remained unmanaged and fell into disrepair after the end
21_63	of the war. In 1926 the new owner, the Bruneck section of the Italian Alpine Club "CAI", made plans
21_64	to restore the mountain refuge. This, however, never took place.

22_0	USS Lynch was a schooner acquired as part of the Continental Navy in 1776. She served for over a
22_1	year on the New England coast, interfering with British maritime trade when possible. In 1777 she
22_2	was assigned dispatch boat duty and, after delivering her secret dispatches to France, set sail for
22_3	the United States with French secret dispatches. The British captured her, but not before she could
22_4	destroy the French dispatches.
22_5	Chartered by order of Washington
22_6	The first ship to be so named by the Navy, Lynch, a fishing schooner chartered by order of General
22_7	George Washington 26 January 1776 from Col. John Lee of Marblehead, Massachusetts, was commissioned
22_8	1 February 1776 at Manchester, Massachusetts, Comdr. John Ayers in command.
22_9	Continental Navy service
22_10	Lynch eluded fire from HMS Fowey when she sailed 7 February 1776 from Manchester, Massachusetts, to
22_11	fit out at Beverly, Massachusetts. Shortly after midnight on 2 March, Lynch slipped out of Beverly
22_12	and dodged Fowey and Nautilus to make her way to rendezvous in Cape Ann Harbor with three other
22_13	ships in the little American fleet commanded by Commodore John Manley.
22_14	On the night of the 4th, Manley’s schooners drove off British brig Hope in a spirited engagement.
22_15	The next day they took their first prize, Susannah, a 300-ton English merchantman laden with coal,
22_16	cheese, and beer, for General Howe’s beleaguered army in Boston, Massachusetts.
22_17	After escorting their prize to Portsmouth, Manley’s squadron returned to Cape Ann, where on the
22_18	10th he captured a second prize, Boston-bound transport Stokesby, a 300-ton ship carrying porter,
22_19	cheese, vinegar, and hops. Lynch and the others escorted the prize toward Gloucester,
22_20	Massachusetts, but Stokesby ran hard aground. After much of the prize’s cargo had been removed,
22_21	British brig Hope arrived and put the torch to the hulk.
22_22	Howe evacuates Boston
22_23	While Manley’s squadron was at Gloucester, General Howe evacuated Boston and Washington ordered his
22_24	ships to dog the British fleet and pounce upon any stragglers. The patriot schooners departed
22_25	Gloucester 21 March and sighted a merchant brig off Boston Light that afternoon. They chased their
22_26	prey and by evening were close enough to open fire. Their quarry then hove to, but two English men
22_27	of war, Savage and Diligent, arrived to compel the American schooners to abandon their prize.
22_28	Soon afterwards, Manley divided his fleet, keeping Lynch and Lee with his flagship Hancock. On the
22_29	afternoon of 2 April they sighted brig Elizabeth. This prize, an American vessel captured by the
22_30	British the previous October, was full of loot plundered from the warehouses of patriot merchants
22_31	just before the evacuation of Boston, and carried a goodly number of Tory refugees. Many of the
22_32	Tories were transferred to Lee, their leaders were taken on board Hancock, and the captive crew was
22_33	imprisoned in Lynch, which accompanied Hancock to Portsmouth, arriving 4 April to refit and
22_34	recruit.
22_35	Underway again 13 May, Lynch joined Lee and Warren in Cape Ann Harbor. A fortnight later HMS
22_36	Milford pursued the schooners but they escaped in the fog. On 7 June they captured British

21_38
