...lawyers also remembered the "hot pursuit" clause in the 1924 agreement, but whether a hot pursuit is limited to within an hour's sailing, or whether it may extend onto the high seas is a moot point. Coast Guardsmen felt they were within their rights when they sank the I'm Alone 200 mi. out in the Gulf of Mexico. Canada felt otherwise...
...green-winged triad. Next came the red wings, but the third plane of that group faltered under its 10,000-lb. load, nosed down into the sea, killed its mechanic. The last triad, white-winged, was in the air ten minutes when its second plane crashed, burst into flame, sank with its entire crew of four. General Balbo learned their fate by radio, but he led on. Nothing was to be gained by turning back, after 14 months intensive rehearsal for this very moment. Moreover, before leaving Orbetello, near Rome, the handsome young air minister had told his chief, Benito...
...proportion to its size as the most modern, most completely equipped salvage ship in the world. Last September the little Artiglio bobbed on front pages of the U. S. press when her grappling hooks struck the submerged wreck of the P. & O. liner Egypt, a steamer that sank off Finistere in 1922 with a loss of 92 lives, with $5,000,000 in gold and silver bullion in her strong room (TIME, Sept. 8).

So spectacular have been the Artiglio's successes that a French warship hovered unobtrusively in the offing, taking notes. Overboard went the Artiglio's two chief...
When a book of gossipy memoirs entitled The Story of San Michele was launched in the U. S. (May, 1929) by Publisher Dutton, the little imported edition (364 copies) slid simply down the ways, struggled unostentatiously against the flood, then sank apparently without a trace. But ten months later it emerged again as a bestseller, led all non-fiction books for eleven months.* So famed grew The Story of San Michele and its author, Dr. Axel Munthe, that shrewd Publisher Dutton wanted to launch another Munthe book. Not having a new one handy he raised from the bottom, where...
