Captain Theodore van Beek assured everyone that Halifax (Nova Scotia) was only 19 miles away, that he had dropped anchor, that tugs were bringing oil. . . . The President Harding finally reached New York Harbor last week, six days behind schedule...
Said Captain Van Beek: "It was one hell of a trip. ... We had rough weather from the time we left Cherbourg until we reached Halifax. We had difficulty even getting into Queenstown. The storm reached its climax two days later, when the waves were 60 feet high, and the wind had a velocity of 110 miles an hour. . . .

...University authorities buy Westmorly, Claverly, and Apley Halls, and the purchase of the only dormitories remaining in private control--Beek, Craigie, Fairfax, and Russell--is thought to be a matter of comparatively short time.
