...freeze on St. Mary's River began the last days of November (TIME, Dec. 13). That was the first time since 1880 that this channel between Lake Superior and the lower lakes had so frozen in November. Vessel owners considered they were taking no undue risks by the late voyages. Underwriters issued regular insurance until midnight of Nov. 30 and special insurance to midnight of Dec. 12, to endure until vessels reached their ports. The Government did not officially close the river locks at the "Soo" until Dec. 16. As the Sainte Marie smashed the ice, sailors aboard...
...Mary's River becomes a veritable hell for mariners, with ice smashing down the river. Sailors go through it, however, at the bidding of their masters zealous to wring a last dollar from transportation. Last week this sailors' hell was frozen over-solid.

...yachts flashing results to the Express ai Dublin. That same year, Queer Victoria was on the Isle of Wight during Cowes Week and at her command I kept her in constant touch with H. R. H. Edward (VII) of Wales on the royal yacht, Osborne. I spanned the English Channel by wireless that year; extended the range up to 74 miles for messages between battleships; was ready with equipment for use in the Boer War. In 1899 the first wireless S.O.S. message was sent to shore, with direct effect, from the East Goodwin lightship, which was rammed...
