...juniors have made some improvement during their vacation but their time is still rather poor and they row a very short stroke. No. 8 rows a jerky stroke, No. 7 catches behind and No. 6 ahead, the port side follow six and there is a break on the starboard side between three and five. The whole crew except stroke sliver out at the finish. No. 6 faces his blade too much and hurries down on the recover and No. 3 does not get his catch hard enough. Bow starts out in good form but somehow soon loses it. The port...
...university was the first crew out, rowing to the lumber-yard and back; they left the boat-house at a good swinging stroke, the oars striking the water with remarkable precision and unanimity. The seniors followed soon after, not rowing in very good form. The swing of the starboard men especially is poor. The new men in the boat broke up the time somewhat. The freshman launched out into their first attempt amid the smiles and kindly warnings of the assembled upper-class...

...Yale crew take an easy pull almost every day, although the men are not yet in training. F. Rogers will probably take Storrs' place as starboard stroke, and No. 3 will be the seat left to be filled...
...seen the ark. Of the identity of the vessel discovered by Dr. Schliemann with the original ark there can be no doubt, inasmuch as the name "Ark" is still on her stern in raised gilt letters. There was also found entangled with a ring-bolt on her starboard side, close to her "Plimsoll's mark," a rubber watch coat with Noah's name on the inside of the collar. Dr. Schliemann is naturally very proud of his discovery, and he is so much encouraged by it that he is seriously thinking of discovering the Garden with the remains...
