Streamers of White Vapour

Abstract

I STAND this morning in my private room in the University building, looking out over the harbour, and away to the open expanse of Lake Ontario. The shore is to the south of me, and runs east and west. The wind is blowing from the north, and hence from the land over the water. The temperature of the air is about 3° or 4° F., and the temperature of the water is about 45° F.
