Ferocity ? warm wind climbing up the front of cold ? pumelled the splitting smooth-skinned bulk. The ship's nose?in itself a mountain was torn completely from the body. Carrying seven men, including three who had left the control-cabin, it began to spin. Those of the seven who were not desperately engaged in keeping their seats astride a girder, valved gas as freely, as quickly as they could. The lost mountain spinned ? earthward. Nearing ground, Chief Machinist Halliburton fired shot into the gas envelope. Through the twilight, a farmer was signalled, caught a guide-rope, wrapped...
...Grover Cleveland, but should that august and venerated gentleman return, for a few loose minutes, to visit the pit of a Manhattan theatre he would doubtless laugh roundly at them. For it is the peculiar genius of Mr. White to make an act out of an anecdote, to spin an innocent jest with pipe, tabor, scenery, and bring down his curtain on a guffaw. He does not spare expense.

A faster performance by Captain Wilson's crew today was expected...
...Crimson oarsmen are expected to reach the peak of their form by Saturday of this week. At least two, and possibly three time trials are contemplated before the Yale race, the last clocked spin being set for a week from tomorrow. During the last few workouts before the afternoon of June 19, Coach Stevens will devote his time to polishing up minor faults, and to preserving the condition of the oarsmen. The cooler weather, and the fact that examinations are practically over will enable the entire camp to settle itself for the final training grind which ends on June...
