In & Out of Churchill

With window glass and chinaware, barbed wire and cutlery, fox traps, shotguns, steel work and woolen goods, out of Liverpool steamed S. S. Pennyworth (Dalgliesh Line) for the three-month port of Churchill on Hudson Bay. It was a test cargo, first shipment of goods into Canada's upper interior through the trade mouth that she opened last year to disgorge her Saskatchewan. Alberta and Manitoba wheat to European markets (TIME, Sept. 14). Last year's two test shipments of wheat out of Churchill, totaling 500,000 bushels, were wholly successful. The S. S. Farnsworth, first test ship, passing out of Hudson Bay by Hudson Strait under the bleak heel of Baffin Land, reached the Port of London in 16 days. This year 3,000,000 bushels of wheat are booked to go in 16 ships from Churchill's high-class modern elevator dock.
