...Russkoye Ustye began to pall after a time. Zenzinov had been given permission to move around anywhere in the district. Again with the idea of eventual escape, he set out to Verkhoyansk, "the pole of cold." This village was many miles to the south but set in a basin where cold air settles and few winds blow.

The first Union Boat Club crew paced the class shell as far as the Henley finish, being clocked...
After a brief row on Monday, following their return from Philadelphia, the Crimson oarsmen staged two successive races against time, once Tuesday and again yesterday. In the tryouts, which were held for 10 1-2 minute periods in the Basin, the Armstrong-stroked crew showed a decided superiority over that paced by Lawrence, and will again be entered as the Jayvee crew in the coming contest.
