Cape Cod Canal progress and an old timer's theory
The Cape Cod ship canal company pushes to spend 25,000 in actual work within the time limit. About 300 to 400 laborers are at work, four pile drivers drive piles for a 1,000 foot wharf north of Townneck, and a permanent spur track to meet the Old Colony railroad will aid material transport and connect water and rail for future use. Engineers debate the canal currents, recalling a sea captain whose odd theories impressed visitors. Reverend Richard M. Devens, cousin of Judge Devens, resided in Pocasset and wrote Our First Century, a work selling around 180,000 copies. News arrives of Warren Grout, Whittemore’s nephew, murdered in Cochise Arizona, with robbers rifling his trunk and a heart-shot death. His body was brought to Waterloo for burial.
