...proved that she could sing truly if not more evenly, but she still seemed pathetically unequal to Tibbett. A German opera saved the week from mediocrity, when Wagner's Flying Dutchman was put on for the first time in five years. Save for Hans Clemens, who sang the Steersman in the last production, all the principals were new to the Metropolitan in their parts. Flagstad took the role of Senta for the first time in her career and made it unforgettable. Warmest praise went to Baritone Friedrich...
Haiti. Because the steersman was careless, Christopher Columbus' flagship Santa Maria went hopelessly aground somewhere off Haiti on Christmas Eve, 1492. The ship was unloaded and from her timbers the doughty admiral, bent on founding a colony, built a fort which he called La Navidad-his first New World settlement. Columbus traded falcon bells to the natives for gold, left 44 of his men in charge, sailed off to new adventures. When he returned to the island during his second voyage he found the fort burned, the men massacred by natives or scattered in the wilds. The question remained...
...riding high on the banks of its three dangerous turns- Whiteface, Shady Corner, Zig-Zag. The Colgate sled went a little faster than that.

Returning to shore, Rower Dollfuss and Steersman Mussolini were cheered good-humoredly by hundreds of Italian bathers on the beach...
...Reto Capadrutt, who steered with ropes instead of a wheel, and his elderly brakeman, Oscar Geier. Best U. S. bobbers were J. Hubert and Curtis Stevens, of Lake Placid who, apparently beaten by a slow first run, heated their runners with an acetylene torch to make them go faster. Steersman J. Hubert Stevens set a new course record (1:57.68), beat the Capadrutt boblet by 1.54 sec. for four runs...
