Sarsi (AT-111) was laid down on 25 January 1943 by the United Engineering and Dry Dock Co., Alameda, Calif., Iaunched on 12 June 1943, sponsored by Mrs.
She arrived in the Aleutians on 19 August and, by the end of World War II, had completed 45 jobs in the Aleutians and, on four occasions, had supported units of the North Pacific Task Forces engaged in raids against the Kuriles and enemy shipping north of Hokkaido.
On the afternoon of the 27th, she refueled from Cimarron (AO-22)- and, at 1847, moved north to patrol along the edge of the mineswept waters between Wonsan and Hungnam.
Sarsi says that no author worth considering, ancient or modem, has ever supposed a comet to be a mere appearance; hence that his teacher, who was disputing only with such men and did not aspire to victory over any others, did not need to remove comets from the company of mere images.
Sarsi now prepares with admirable boldness to maintain, by means of acute syllogisms, that objects seen through the telescope are the more enlarged the closer they are, and he is so confident that he practically promises I shall come to admit this to be true, though at present I deny it.
Sarsi next wants to make Guiducci agree with Aristotle, and to show that they have both stated the same conclusion when one of them says that motion is the cause of heat, and the other says that the cause is not motion but the brisk rubbing of two hard bodies.
