But we now have to consider difficulties which have been supposed to encounter our current on its passage from the Gulf to the mid-Atlantic. Northwards, along the shores of the United States, the current has been traced by the singular blueness of its waters until it has reached the neighbourhood IS THE GULF S TEE 'AM A MYTH? lip of Newfoundland. Over a part of this course, indeed, the waters of the current are of indigo blue, and so clearly marked that their line of junction with the ordinary ...sea-water can be traced by the eye. Often, ' says Captain Maury, 'one half of a vessel may be perceived floating in Gulf Stream water, while the other half is in common water of the sea so sharp is the line, and such the want of affinity between the waters, and such, too, the reluctance, so to speak, on the part of those of the Gulf Stream, to mingle with the littoral waters of the sea. ' But it is now denied that there is any current beyond the neighbourhood of Newfoundland or that the warm temperature, which has characterised the waters of the current up to this point, can be detected farther out.
