THIS is a story of the initial cruise of "Sometub"--a narrative of the
voyage of the newest type boat on America's oldest improved waterway.
We exalted 30 cent gasoline and eased our conscience by following in
the patriotic footsteps of George Washington.
Amid nature's most magnificent scenery we linked the romance of
yesterday with the humdrum of the workaday present. We established a
new maxim, namely: To avoid the beaten path take the towpath!
We enjoyed to the superlative degree the rare privilege of "Seeing
America First," because we saw it as the first American saw it.
