In thoso dnys tho "languages of tho noas" woro Indeed many. Somo of tho rules woro horltagcs of centur ion back, nnd In conflict with tho rules of other nations. Ono of tiio first steps taken toward making oca nn travel safe was takon by the Am erican Commander Maury, vho map pod tho currents of tho sea.

"Tho Farthest North Line' extends from Halifax on tho Atlan tic to Prlnco import, only a fow miles below tho southern point of Alaska. Much of the lino Is nbovp tho r. 2 ml degree, nnd traverses a land locked In snow and Ico through long winters. Tho road has been over ten j'onrB In building.
