The Courses and Distances are for the " middle " of the Lanes 



" Thus it appears that one Lane will practically shorten the distance 

 from Cape Clear to Sandy Hook and the Delaware by 30 miles, while the 

 other prolongs the distance going to Europe 75 miles ; which prolonged 

 distance, when measured, not by safety, but in time alone, the Gulf Stream, 

 better weather, and diminished frequency of fogs, will more than com- 

 pensate for. In my judgment, these Lanes, if properly followed, will 

 make the average length of passage, as determined by the mean of all for 

 the year, probably less each way, certainly not more than an hour or two
