summary:
  Nature has practically closed the Rock Channel and the old Victoria Channel, and concentrated her forces and opened up the Queen's Channel with over 20 feet of water at low tide in the dredged cut at the Bar, thus making the port open for ordinary vessels during twelve hours out of the twenty-four, and making Liverpool the great port she is--the only deep water port on the West Coast capable of taking such great ships as the Aquitania and Olympic. Mr. Inman's policy was to cultivate the emigration trade, which had hitherto been carried by sailing ships; in this he was very successful, and the Inman Line, which existed for nearly forty years, will be remembered as containing some very fine and fast ships.

Teste, Joseph Billups, Jr. Various statistics were given by different writers for the number of Virginia owned vessels in the period just before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.

  He never permitted his shifting eyes to meet those of Steve Rush, nor did Steve make any effort to address the man. The hotel was named after a famous Indian Chief, but the prices asked for the luncheon made Steve gasp.

summary:
  When the captain of a first-class Atlantic liner enters on his log, as ours did next day, _dangerous sea_, one may feel satisfied that something unusual had been going on. It was a close call, and Mrs. Cumberland was always anxious until at last we got the _Chicora_ safely to Toronto.
