...paper was then printed by H. E. Lombard in the loft of a wooden building in Central Square in the 'Port'. Two of us had to go each midnight to read proof. As the ears from Boston ran only once an hour after midnight, and by horsepower, we were usually obliged to walk back to our rooms. In September, 1884, we contracted with an Englishman to print the paper. He had an old Washington hand-press and got off one issue--delivered the next afternoon. He was fired and Lombard opened a printing office for us in Brattle Street...

Today, the rest of Israel is growing almost as rapidly. The present population of 3,100,000 is expected to reach 5,000,000 by the year 2000, and there is not much space to move to.

Boats on moorings, sailboats included, do not always lie head to wind, especially if there is a strong tidal current running with a light wind blowing. It is more the rule than the exception in my home port of York Harbor, Me., for the sailboats moored in the tide to lie head to tide and those in the eddy to lie head to eddy regardless of wind direction. And all boats reverse with the ebb and flow of the tides, appearing to play ring-around-a-rosy. This is especially noticeable in a small harbor where the tide tends...
