At five in the morning, the 140 ton schooner Nautilus sailed from Thomaston, Maine with a Williams College scientific expedition to Labrador and Greenland aboard. Professor G.A. Chadbourne of Williams College led the expedition and the Nautilus was captained by Charles E. Ranlett. A party was landed on the Labrador coast to camp there while the rest of the group went on to Greenland. (By John Osborne)
