Hundreds of thin, run-down men and women across the United States and Canada are urged to take Tanac to aid digestion, enrich blood, and rebuild strength.

On the San Francisco waterfront reporter Rainey meets blind giant Lund aboard the Karluk. Lund accuses Captain Simms of abandoning him. Peggy Simms defends her father. Lund plans a northbound voyage to claim Lund’s discovered gold, while Carlsen, the physician mate, schemes and drugs Rainey. A pistol duel, mutiny, kidnaping, and a deadly shootout end with Lund killing Carlsen and the crew facing uncertain loyalties.
On a hardened ship, Lund quashes dissent and asserts control after seizing authority from a rival. Rainey watches as Peggy mourns her father Carlsen, and the crew faces grim choices amid looming peril at sea and a dangerous plan for survival. Lund orders discipline, contemplates mutiny, and plans to reach Unalaska for medical aid as the sea rages.
The United States Bureau of Public Roads and Agriculture are testing why tar and asphalt roads develop scrubbing board surfaces. At Artington experimental farm a circular 505 foot track with 15 foot wide roadway will house several asphalt and tar surfaces. A driverless truck will roll the surface to simulate traffic and reveal what causes the texture. Researchers suspect distortion of earth underlay or surface flaws and believe tire wear and traffic weight impact the issue.
