Is it clear that they don't cross?  Or is the crossing possibly omitted,
like the crossing of the Atlantic?

Is that a possibility?  Are there other possibilites?  Discontinuity a la
the above crossings?  Could Lancaster have been elsewhere, or a larger
area, at the time?  Nowadays, there is a Lancaster county as well as a
Lancaster....

BTW, another good reason to include page numbers in the header or elsewhere
is to help people find the exact place in M&D being cited.
