...American who has read Dana's 'Speeches in Stirring Times' there are thousands throughout the English-speaking world who have shared with the boyish Dana his pleasure in the 'perfect silence of the sea' and 'the early breaking of day on the wide ocean,' his awe at 'the cold and angry skies' and 'long heavy ugly seas' off the Cape, who have seen with him the 'malignant' brightness of the lightning in the tropical storm, the yellow California sunshine and the gray California fog, and the slow stately motion of the groaning Antartic icebergs with the whirling snow about their...
Every member of the editorial aggregation played in major league style. "Steamship" Hall held the opposing stick-wielders in awe-struck submissiveness, while "Red" stiles hung onto his hot stuff with well-nigh sublime efficiency. In the field, "Wild West" Ingram brought exclamations of delight to the lips of every beholder, and accepted the most difficult chances with utter sang froid.

In "The Treasure of Carvaernon" (the name in the story itself is spelled Carvaeron), Mr. Walcott gives us a good old-fashioned...
...defy a close search for the meaning. "Sas Agapo", by Mr. Reinhard, is clear enough, on the other hand, but a little thin. The best poem in the number is Mr. Thayer's "Portrait", full of imagination and music, but better yet, full of a real tenderness and awe that make one forget the "ivory glee" of the lady's smile, and certain stumbling lines...
