In a prelude to such an era, two Alexbow-equipped barges will be driven by a 5,000-h.p. trawler through 200 miles of Arctic ice this summer to supply a consortium drilling for oil on Canada's northernmost islands...

The Cachalot was dangled beneath the surface from a 100-ft. boom while Martin, insulated by a hooded wet suit, tried to focus on it. When a wave swell, of which he in the ocean depths...
