Scope and content
George W. Phillips takes a bottle with a message inserted inside, "The Time has Come to Act" and religious tracts. He has tossed them into Puget Sound by hand or dropped them from different boats as available. By 1954 he is known to have sent 15,000 of these messages in bottles to at least fourteen different countries. (T.Times, 11/9/1945, p.1)
