...Grenfell, a Marlborough-and-Oxford youth who had amplified his medical interneship by cruising the North Sea healing fishermen struck across the Atlantic to take his surgery to the white fishermen and Eskimos of Labrador. He built hospitals, co-operative stores and native industries in many a cove and inlet of that grisly coast. The Indian Harbor Hospital, founded in 1894, is about 200 miles north of Battle Harbor, where Dr. Grenfell began his work two years earlier. The Marabel was to have assisted, from the Indian Harbor base, the coastwise dispensary service long rendered by the Battle Harbor hospital...
...Rough water on Lake Cayuga kept the Harvard University and second crews from rowing over the course here today in preparation for their races with Cornell tomorrow afternoon. A north wind blew down the two-mile stretch. If the wind continues, the races will be rowed on the abbreviated inlet course, where the Crimson and Big Red eights practiced today...
...last visit to Ithaca was made three years ago. On that occasion the water on the regular course was unnavigable, and short races were rowed on the "inlet" over a course of about a mile, with Cornell winner in the darkness. For the last two years, Cornell has brouught big crews to Cambridge and rowed pathetically badly. This season is a different story, however. Under the new coach, James Wray, pre-war Harvard mentor, the Big Red crew situation is looking up, and visions are seen to a return of the glory of Cornell crews in the days on Courtney...
...ocean deep and pump up cold water to condense his turbine steam. A totally different method of using tidal energy is to "harness" the powerful ebb-and-flow movement of the tides. Three important projects are already under way to accomplish this-at Passamoquody Bay (see p. 31) inlet of the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia; at Sudbury on the Severn, Eng. .and at Aber-Vrach on the Brittany coast. At all three places there are long, narrow estuaries, into which tides rush with enormous energy. Water turbines, set in dams built across these arms of the sea, will whirl...
...plan transcends such feeble efforts as far as the locomotive outclassed the wheelbarrow. It calls for great sea walls, with water gates to shut the 100 sq. mi. of Passamaquoddy Bay into an upper pool. Other walls would immure Cobscook, the lower bay, 50 sq. mi. more. Across the inlet between the two pools thus formed, from Eastport* (island) to the Maine mainland, a dam and power house would be built. Operation would be as follows: on a rising tide, the gates to the upper pool would be opened to admit the sea. At flood, the gates would close...
