! cutters which successfully com
pleted the Northwest Passage
earlier this month arrived in New
England yesterday—the first con
voy of U.S. ships to transit the
North American continent.

ka, and the Bramble, from Miami,
docked in Boston. The Spar ar
rived at her home port, Bristol,
R.I. Many of the crew wore
heavy beards.
Besides supplying the DEW
Line, the ships made hydrograph
ic surveys of arctic waters to find
a water route of sufficient depth
to support deep draft ships.
On reaching her home port, the
Spar .circumnavigated the North
American coritinent. The same
