C." Well, for a fresh specimen, this Cincinnati Jenkins should go up to the bead of the class. That Is eery obliging of the Gulf Stream to bend in toward A. C. and warm It up for a winter resort. If it were true, but The fact is the Gulf Stream, after paesIng Battens tends gradually off shore luring a lute parallel with the coast, and widening out to the outward like an open fan. It follows that the greater Urn distaau North of this stormy Cape the farther docs the western edge of the Stream recede from the coast Any pbysleil msp of ocean currenla will show this to be true, and therefore. Instead of the Gulf bending towards the coast. It does Just the opposite thlog. It will also prove Cape May lo be nearer It than her big rind by several miles.
