The Corsican Vendetta Threads Through a Seaborne Chase
Mr. Barnes, a New Yorker, contemplates the Corsican feud as his ship nears Marseilles. Marina, Edwin Anstruther, and the bridal party edge toward safety in France while vendetta talk and old loyalties echo from Ajaccio to Bocognano.

Erie Canal Endures Amid Rail Rivalry and Time
The Erie Canal survived 60 years of railroad competition. Completed in 1825 at four feet depth and 40 feet wide, it was deepened and expanded to carry barges of 240 tons by 1835, later widening to 70 feet at the top and 56 feet at the bottom. Even as railroads grew, canal boats reached Buffalo, continuing a path to the sea and delivering freight through the century.
