there only seems to be this very slight glimmer of a real <br/>

<br/>
i agree generally with the above suggested conclusion<br/>
but plotting & connecting points 3 4 5 & 6 on this map might actually <br/>
settle the question of whether maritime cafr could cross dry land <br/>
at mean sea level anyway</div>
