map of the Channel viii readily show any one VINO
looks that this course was about the shortest
that could he taken and is in fact the same
course adopted on the last occasion, though from
different sides, the start then being from the English
coast and on the present occasion from the French
coast. The landing not effected till dawn was
inst beginning to break-the dawn OF the second Day
after the start. The latter part OF the Journey
therefore. was accomplished amid the great difficult
ties of darkness. Those on board were, however,
perfectly sanguinc of success strong did the Cap
tain appear and SO certain was tho Captain that
they wero steering the right course. The place
where the Captain landed is a wild and dreary
spot on the coast of Kent, almost Immediately under
the North ForeIand Light. known as Fan Bay, some
what to the north of Dover. As Folkestonc was the
destination of the party, that journey had 10 be
made by steam from this spot and almost as soon az
BoytOn had disappeared below the matches the hea'i
Of the vessel was turned and she speedily made her
way to Folkestone. On nearing Dover large crowds
were observed upon the pier and the ellis and Oeach
were scattered with people who had evidently staid
up the night TO learn the result. As the Admiralty
pier was passed at $40 sa.utc of 10 guns was
given to the steamer that carried the gallant Cap
tain and the compliment was at once acknowledged
bv the simultaneous explosion Of shower OF
rockets and the hosting of the "Star-span-
glod Banner On arriving at Fokestone
the IIarbor Master aud number of the
port officials. as well as the inhabitants, were wait
ing on the uicr. On learning the news another salute
was fired and acknowledged and the vessel was
much checred on entering the harbor. At O'Clock
the party landed leaving BOyon sill in bed below.
and adjourned to the Pavilion Hotel. where break
fast was awaiting them They were joined here by
q goOdly number of other persons. The meal was
scarcely finished, however, when, to the surprise OF
all in walked Cant. Boyton himself. The ma iurc Of
his reception may be better maein d than described.
TO say it was enthusiastic would be to damn il with
faint praise. Congratulations were podIed upon
him. his arm w0ud have been shaken OIL with the
vast amount of hands he had 10 undergo, and
he and all Others would have been deatcned with the
cheers that greeted HIM had nos call been made for
order and the call obcycd when it was accompanied
by the announcement that the Captain would say Il
few words. Mounting a chair, the Captain delivered
himself Of the following graceful and characteristic
little cfiusion:
GrNrLrNrX: thank You for the cordial manner in
which have been received lam clad ne ta,L o. cross
wenown periodical said that various invent ons had
mention was made of the Bessemer saloon and the Boy
ton Tile dress TIE critic has added Tue words, " Bat
after all the Channel Is master OF the situation Ia my
case it Is no longer 80.
He afterwards had warm bath and announced his
intention of proceeding daring the day to London.
As a trial of physical strength, as indeed
of everything else, the affair is com
pIete success. the navigation alone being the
point in winch the Captain did not come up
t. his own expectations or those of his
friends. He has demonstrated beyond doubt that
the varying and various currents of the Channel are
not so easy to swim acr0s. one would suppose, but
he has also shown that he must be a man of wonder
ful powers of endurance. On the las, OCCASION after
having been in the water for 10 hours, it WAS
Thought wonderful, and by some incredible, that he
should have come out without the slightest symptom
Of exhaustion or weakness. Bul what of the pres
ent. when Lie has for nearly "a hours batiled with
wind and waves and after all ont of the water
with his physical strength by no means exhausted.
The doctors that the fact that his pulse being
at the close Il degrees is i'll itself abundant proof
that his physical condition was not much disturbed,
and the fact that his temperature was on this ocra-
sion 90 as against 81 at the conclusion of the last
trip, shows him TO be in better health. He has
shown beyond doubt that in tho hands of a strong
man bis ife-saying dress may be made to do a good
dead especially by anyone praoticed in its use.
