Danger to propeller from floating ice

across the Bay of Fundy and down the
Nova Scotia coast was without special
incident. The beautiful Bras Dor

Head for Open Sea.
Almost to the minute. We heard the
surf on both starboard and port, and
we confidently headed between for the
open sea. One night at Port Saunders
we parted company with the Maravel,
and headed then northward through
the Straits of Belle Isle, which two
weeks before were blocked with ice and

these, that which lies upon the back
of old Meta Incognita, the peninsula
which is situated between Hudson
Straits and Frobisher Bay, is believed
by scientists to be the last of the great
North American ice sheet which had
its origin in the Laurentian Highlands
and swept north, east, south and west,
covering an area of about 100000
square miles, reaching as far south as
the city of New York and one lobe
even to the State of Kentucky.
While sailing up and down that
northern coast during the last 81 years,
we often have seen this glistening white
ice cap from afar and wondered at its
size, its height, its decrease or its in
crease. No white man had studied it,
no white man, as far as I can learn,
had ever stepped foot upon it.
