    I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her whitesails to the morning breeze and startsfor the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says; There, she is gone; Gone where; Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someoneat my side says, There, she is gone; There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the gladshout; Here she comes; And that is dying.

    ...but if there was anything unexpected about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, it was only that Hawaii was the target chosen for attack 'Then at 12 o'clock we (viz., General Marshall and I) went to the White House, where we were until nearly half past one.

    These clipper ships of the early 1850's were built of wood in shipyards from Rockland in Maine to Baltimore. These architects, like poets who transmute nature's message into song, obeyed what wind and wave had taught them, to create the noblest of all sailing vessels, and the most beautiful creations of man in America. With no extraneous ornament except a figurehead, a bit of carving and a few lines of gold leaf, their one purpose of speed over the great ocean routes was achieved by perfect balance of spars and sails to the curving lines of the smooth black hull and this harmony of mass, form and color was practiced to the music of dancing waves and of brave winds whistling in the rigging.

For a few brief years they flashed their splendor around the world, then disappeared with the finality of the wild pigeon.
