Excerpt from Abberations of Audibility of Fog Signals: A Paper Read Before the Philosophical Society of Washington, October 22, 1881 This report is in itself full of interest. It appears that this officer spent several days steaming around Little Gull, while the fog-signal was in full blast, in various kinds of weather, and that he found the aberrations in audition here were as numerous and even more eccentric than those before mentioned as experienced at Beaver Tail.
