If munching effectively and with gusto is a mark of enjoyment, then the pigs actually enjoy this unusual foodstuff, apparently considerably more than the average American enjoys his daily slabs of charred bread at breakfast.

The depth appears continuously on a dial and the profile of the sea floor is translated to a chart. Scrawled before the Oceanographer...
...Oceanographer's master, Commander Harry A. Seran, believes that his work will provide one more aid for fog-bound liners coming into New York harbor. A ship equipped with an echo-sounder could pick up the gorge 130 miles out, follow it all the way in to Ambrose Channel...
