...Cape Sable on Nova Scotia's southern tip. As the flotilla headed north next day the President's prayer for fog was answered (TIME, July 20), but it was not heavy enough to let him escape the stream of dispatches convoyed from the Hopkins at every stop. Off the tiny fishing village of Shelburne on Sunday he woke to a cold drizzle, decided to stay put for the day.
