Albemarle fired its 8-in. gun. "Surrender!" came the cry from the shore. "Never-I'll be damned first!" yelled Cushing as he dove into the river. He floated and swam downstream, stole a rowboat from a squad of Confederates who were posted near by and made his way back to the fleet...
...hooks and suckers to the host's intestine. Below the head is a short neck that grows continually and differentiates into segments that become filled with eggs and sperm as they mature. The younger segments are chiefly male, and their sperm fertilizes eggs released by older segments farther downstream. A single worm can do the whole job and sometimes produces several billion eggs in its lifetime...
...partnership in river development, he takes a broader view of what can be accomplished. Studying the private low dams that McKay favored, Seaton noted that they offered only limited flood control, failed therefore to achieve full development of the Snake's potential. One high dam (at Pleasant Valley, downstream from Hell's Canyon) would generate more power and provide more flood control than two McKay-type low dams at Pleasant Valley and Mountain Sheep, he explained to the Federal Power Commission. (Before the FPC is an application from Pacific Northwest Power Co. to build the two low dams...
...flies in its general direction, which can be determined by the weatherman. When the "66" tells him that his drift angle is increasing, he knows that he is getting into the jet stream and is being carried along by it. When the drift angle reaches a maximum, he turns downstream until the drift angle falls to zero. Then he knows that he is flying in the center of the jet stream. If the stream curves, as it often does, the airplane can follow it by keep ing the drift angle at zero. When the "66" is hooked to the autopilot...
...will be moved from their homes and resettled elsewhere. The Sanmen Reservoir will be one of the world's largest. The dam will protect the area from floods, create enough electric power for the industrial needs of three provinces, and help clear the Yellow's muddy waters downstream...
