* Gino Watkins drowns in Greenland
Page 3 has a one column heading: "H.G. WATKINS DROWNS IN GREENLAND FJORD" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Henry George "Gino" Watkins, British arctic explorer. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions.
