...viewpoint of the proletariat is, surprisingly, the best of the three, as far as angle of sight and proximately to both shells and spray are concerned. The one ground rule covering where the launch may go is that it must stay fat enough back so as not to slosh up the river for any eight. Of course, the rate at which some trailing shells went this year put the proletariat pretty well out of sight of the race...

Nothing can really top lurching about in a motorboat while some M.I.T. freshman at the helm tries to disprove all manufacturer's claims and show that the boat will tip, with the clear spray of the Charles in the face, and a faulty stopwatch in the hand...

Filled with water instead of fuel, the tanker climbs up until it reaches the proper temperature to produce water droplets, supercooled and ready - about F. Then it looses a spray that freezes on the test plane following 300 ft. astern...
