Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Contributor, Vol. 2: A Monthly Magazine; February, 1881
IN the Atlantic Ocean, starting in the Gulf of Mexico and passing through the Florida Straits, is an immense stream of water, that flows through the ocean from the American side away across to the shores of Europe. In passing between Florida and Cuba, it is forced to contract itself in order to pass through the narrow channel, but when it leaves this it begins to widen out more and more until, when it reaches the other side of the Atlantic.
