...world. True, the greater part of the cargoes of most of these vessels, like those of the shingle boats that children freight for journeys down a brook, may well be jettisoned; but doubtless with many a hapless cargo some things really worth saving go down. A few light, gay, shiny bits do float, and sail gaily down life's brook, sparkling in the sunlight even brighter than the ripples of the stream. There are people who have been known to chase a "continued story" through the numbers of a bound volume of a magazine, but most of us nothing...
...June 14, 1913.--The University eight gave a remarkable exhibition of rowing today when it covered the four-mile course with a favoring tide and a very light wind astern in the fast time of 20 minutes, 14 seconds, just 4 seconds behind the record. The crew has been developing rapidly within the last week and has been showing a more complete mastery of the points emphasized by Coach Wray. In the trial the men rowed perfectly together throughout the course and it is to this that the speed may be largely attributed...
...their first time trial over the four-mile course Captain Snowdon's eight made the distance in 21 minutes, 25 seconds. The Conditions of wind and tide were about neutral, although a light wind and tide favored the boat at first.

A week ago the University crew covered the four miles in 21 minutes...

Whether they can raise this and still keep their form with its long reach is yet to be seen. The men are in good condition, and will enter Monday upon the final stages of preparation for the race Friday afternoon. The Yale freshman crew at Gales Ferry is very powerful, but looks for a stiff race with Harvard 1916, as this crew is considered one of the strongest Freshman eights in recent years...
