Its narrow band of shadow will start at a point somewhat west of Duluth and stretch eastward, going out to sea across the southern shores of Connecticut.

Two huge Packard engines of 800 horsepower each revolve at 2,200 times a minute-hence their large power for comparatively small weight-while the propellers are geared down and therefore work more slowly and efficiently. The engines are placed in tandem...
