Text Appearing Before Image:
(see Sphere), theshortest line between two points on the surfaceof a globe is part of a great circle (that is, acircle whose center is the center of the globe),and our lines of longitude are great circles, butour lines of latitude are not. A great circleline between New York and Portugal w^ouldrun a little toward the north of east until themiddle of the trip and then turn a little south-ward. Ocean routes do not always follow the greatcircle exactly. Sometimes the way is blockedby islands or, as in the North Atlantic, thereis danger from icebergs or fog. Usually east-bound boats follow a different lane from thatfollowed by those westbound. c.h.h.
