...Goliath, not a circus sea elephant him self, bore a great circus name. Goliath I and II were famed troupers for Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey's Circus (TIME. April 18, 1932).

Loud wails went up when it was discovered that the ship's store was closed, sending cigarets to a premium. There was steak for supper, however, and a visible abundance of Scotch & soda. Immediately ahead was the prospect of tumbling pouch-eyed off the boat at 7 a. m., to be whirled by bus to Schenectady. Ahead for the week was the prospect of a good look at the inside workings...
