...filled with SOS calls. While radio listeners wondered what the silence might portend, there was administered in the outer reaches of New York Harbor what might be called perfect disaster treatment. It began when passengers on the British steamship Fort Victoria, inching along in the soupy mist toward Bermuda, heard the bedlam of fog warnings, the fierce, hoarse blasts of a whistle which seemed altogether too near. Then the prow of the Clyde liner Algonquin, outbound for Galveston, loomed out of the murk and buried itself with a mountainous thrust in the port side of the Fort Victoria...
Although not directly in the employ of the advertising department of the Bermuda Travel Burean, the Vagabond has no scruples against voicing a hope that not a few of those who have faithfully followed him from lecture to lecture this fall will join the old stowaway in welcoming the dawn of a new year in that fair isle of liberty which lies somewhere to the southeast.

...Bermuda with its tropic warmth and transported British Christmas cheer is a very pleasant picture to anticipate. But in any clime Christmas itself isn't such a bad idea.

The survey showed a little plateau just 400 miles from Manhattan and 375 miles from Bermuda, in an almost direct line. It is six miles long by four miles wide and only two miles below sea level, whereas...
Chief Justice Taft's Mother Yale last week marched sluggishly through Georgia; wavered, struggled, stopped in front of a light but savage Georgia line. Spurning the handsome Bermuda grass of the brand new field in Athens, Left End Vernon ("Catfish") Smith of Georgia's little bulldogs helped block and then picked up a punt made by Yale's big bulldogs, ran it over for a touchdown, kicked the goal. In addition he did all Georgia's punting and scored another touchdown by snatching a forward pass. Capt. Joe Boland of Georgia played bulldoggedly at centre while...
