Gallant, grateful von Huenefeld, speaking for himself and his companions last week, gave the Bremen entire, to the Museum. "The hand stretched out to us in Dure enthusiasm, and in warm, hearty feeling convinced us that the rift in friendship between the two nations . . . must never again occur. A bridge must be constructed capable of withstanding all storms...
From London's smart Mayfair to Scotland's dour Hebrides, every Britishman knows that the only thing which keeps him reasonably warm is the Gulf Stream. Alarming, therefore, was a report last week by two White Star Line skippers that, according to their observations, the Gulf Stream has recently changed its course ten points. Should it swerve away from the British Isles entirely, they would become semi-Arctic. Stern old duchesses and gouty earls would have to flee, pellmell, with cockneys and Irishmen before a new Ice Age. Cold England would have to be abandoned, and Britishmen would...
Oceanology. The hottest part of the Atlantic Ocean runs about 350 miles (5°) north of the Equator, from Africa to South America. Carribbean waters are just as warm (80° F.). Almost as warm, and much higher in level than the open ocean is the Gulf of Mexico. The combination of Gulf temperature and level with the West Indies volcanic action and the twirling of the Earth sets a current of warm water running north along the American coast to Newfoundland-the Gulf Stream. A wall of cold water separates the Gulf Stream from the North American continent...
...Gulf Stream, swiftest moving and best studied of ocean currents, however, loses comparatively little of its heat at Newfoundland. It drifts eastward to help warm all of Europe, including of course England.* Europe is warmer than North America. Off Europe the Gulf Stream Drift splits into three streams. One goes between the Faeroe and Shetland Islands north of Scotland, another along west Iceland, the third along the western side of Greenland...
Said the grateful and pious Nobile: "Part of our motion picture film was lost. We had to burn it in an effort to keep warm. But we spared the footage showing me in the act of dropping emblems* upon the North Pole...
