Reconciliation After Peary Demise In 1920
Henne says he spent years traveling for actial research and loyalty to Comb and Peary, accepting meager pay for five years and refusing to lecture until a better position was found. Brady helped, and the pair reconciled before Peary’s death in February 1920, when Henne last saw him at Knokker bocker.

Intercoastal Shipping Turbulence and Freight Outlook
The intercoastal trade faces serious disruption with reduced frequency of service, layoffs of nonessential steamers, and potential layoffs of lines. Canary lines plan voluntary reductions in tonnage as cargo movement grows, while Panama Canal trade remains viable. Lumber, wheat, and nitrate shipments show mixed trends, with Canada and the United States adjusting routes and new liner services planned to Vancouver and eastern ports.
