The Gulf Stream is a fascinating subject for research, not only because it is such a long and powerful current, but also because it is so difficult to study. It almost seems at times as if the current, knowing that an attempt is being made to discover its secrets, resists man's efforts just enough to keep him baffled. After two summer's work we have, for one reason or another, been unable to get even one hydrographic section that is entirely satisfactory. Twice the conditions have been obviously abnormal and our sections have crossed warm water flooding in over the continental shelf. Twice stormy weather has forced us to abandon a section before we had quite crossed the current. Finally several times we struck bands of water running so swiftly that it was impossible to tell at what depths our temperatures had really come from.
