Some years ago an Ingenious plan was proposed 'by a man named Joggins for sending logs from Canada to New York by towing them, bound together by cables and Iron girders, as rafts. The plan failed, as the first raft t*»nt out met with a storm near the end of its voyage, the iron girders snapped and the logs were scattered far and wide. Hundreds of captains in the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Souith seas noticed theee logs and reported on them. The reports were collected and systematized and deductions made from thc-.r. as it-o the course of ocean currents. In the end the failure of the Joggins raft led to one of the greatest discoveries in modern marine geography and navigation.
