Patrick Moore: Greenpeace has made itself the sworn enemy of all life on Earth

Greenpeace, in furtherance of what is in effect its war against every species on the planet, has now turned to what, on the face of things, looks to me like outright breach of the RICO, wire-fraud, witness-tampering and obstruction-of-committee statutes. I have called in the FBI.

The 1897 Symons publication goes on to describe some of the problems faced by observers in those days, when the weather was exceptionally wet:
Finally, they give this summary of the Nov 12 storm:
