Salida Weekly Mail, Sept. 13, 1884: Skirting along the dikes we had a good opportunity of seeing some of the incessant toil, some of the constant engineering and battling with the sea to keep it at anything like a safe distance. The dikes about this island are, perhaps, the finest, the most constantly guarded in all the country. The dike-workers are a distinct class – a guild, in fact, jealous of their craft and its rights and privileges. It is not the first comer who may be a regular dike-worker, even if he should wish to be. We saw great gangs of them going from point to point with pick and shovel, ever on the lookout for weak spots in the great embankment, ever refacing it with miles of concrete, and strengthening every point with strong groins running into the sea.

Salida Weekly Mail, Sept. 13, 1884: Editor Daily Mail: Dear Sir, – In yesterday’s Mail was an article which seemed to question the justness of having Physics in our course of study, and the writer seemed to think that justice could not be done to that branch in one term.
