Background

I'D ACK in mid March, when all but one
Id of President Lincoln's Cabinet
members urged surrendering Fort
Sumter, an ex-naval captain loyal to the
Union went to the Chief Executive with
contrary plan. The officer was Gustavus
Vasa Fox, a relative of Postmaster
General Blair. He was at least as rabid
as Blair in the belief that Sumter should
be saved at all cost. He outlined stout
idea to the President. Transport troops
to Charlestons outer harbor, he said.
Carry them in tugboats over the shadows
from troopships to the fort. Assign
heavily-gunned men-o-war to the force
to protect the operation.
Lincoln liked the idea. Although he
had not yet decided whether to try saving
Sumter, he ordered FOx's expedition
prepared-just in case. If the fleet were
not employed at Sumter. it could bolster
Fort Pickens, at Pensacola, Fla No one
not even appeasement-happy Secretary
of State Seward could conceive of
letting Fort Pickens CO. Pickens was a
bastion and a symbol second only to
Sumter.
All this while, Secretary Seward
was dealing under the table with Con-
federate agents in Washington The
Confederates were negotiating to get
Sumter from the Federals without gun
smoke. They had no official standing in
Washington, but Seward dealt with them,
certain that he could arrange things to
their satisfaction, and that of the whole
United States. He was sure he would
have his way-until he learned of certain
ship movements.

These vessels are rapidly preparing for

provisions and arms being conveyed on board
from lighters alongside. From the fact that no
extra arrangements are being made for troops,
it is believed that the vessels will carry pro-
visions and munitions of war only. Fourteen
yawl boats, suitable for surf duty, have been
placed on board the Baltic. Each of these
boats is capable of carrying from Is to 20

A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF

A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF
THE SEA is a study of the pro
iected Mohole Project, the dill
ing of an undersea hole through
the earth's crust and into the ma1l-
tie. This project, if successful
should furnish valuable data
relative to the crust and mantle;
this information will certainly shed
light on theories concerning con-
tinental drift, formation of the
earth, and related phcnomena.
While this exploration is directed
downward rather than skyward,
it may well furnish more, and
more valuable, information than
multitudinous rocket orbltlngs.
But Mr.. Bascom's book is con-
cerned with more than the drll'-

hole may be. The author, in a lu-
cid and entertaining style, dis
cusses earthquakes, volcanoes, sci
smology, oceanographyp the SCI

many other intriguing topics. Much

Although approximately $50 such

only a few will be employed at the
start. Among compounds for which

Communications will play a vital

after data are reported by any
participating hospital, every other
hospital taking part in the project
can obtain word of the results.
Although current research tends
