After several chilly, disappointing visits to the towering, ice-clad peaks across Smith Sound, the NA1 and NA3 settled into a narrow, sheltered neck of water called Flagler's Fjord. It was only a third of the way to Cape Hubbard, but an admirable landing spot. The next days were spent, when weather permitted, plying to and from Etah with stores of oil, gasoline, food, many trips being necessary to stock the depot adequately...
...Mexico City, in the high noon of night, sharp, strong shocks shook the earth. Husbands and wives bounded out of bed, bounced their offspring out of bed, fled into the streets clad in night attire.

The concerts of the Bethlehemites, however effective in war, were for long informal, unorganized, until M. Woole (born 1863) went to Germany, studied under Rheinberger, became the passionate admirer of Composer Sebastian Bach, organized, on his return, the Bach Festivals...
