THE LITTLE WESTERN.
"BoUND FOR ENGLAND, AND DON'T
YOU FORGET IT."

BOUND FOR ENGLAND, AND DON'T
YOU FORGET IT."
A dispatch from London reports
that the dory Little Western, with two
venturous mariners forming her crew,
passed the Scilly islands, ON the morn
ing ON Goth instant. "The expedition
of the Little Western, now virtually
accomplished, is one of the most re-
marksble voyages of modern times.
She is the smallest craft that ever at
tempted to cross the Atlantic. Her
trip proves that it is not alone the
large steamships and sailing vessels
that dare brave the dangers of mid
ocean. The Little Western, manned
by George P. Thomas and Frederick
Norman, sailed from Gloucester,
Mass. the 18th of June. She was first
spoken of on June 30th in latitude A,
longitude AZ, by the British steamer
Bulgarian. The captain offered to
take the two men of, but they declined.
The Little Western was next spoken
on July 10, by the Bremen steamer
Neckar. The chief officer of the
Neckar, in speaking of the incident,
said "We met the Little Western
right slap in midocean. 1t was on the
afternoon of July 10, shortly after
noon, that we sighted tiny speck on
the horizon. 1t was bright, clear
day, but stiff breeze had started the
sea in lively style, so that even the
Neckar heaved about like sick por-
poise. You can imagine how difficult
it was to get, through our telescopes,
a glimpse ofthe little black atom which
danced in the distance. At first it was
thought that that some vessel had run
into an iceberg and left her crew aaoat.
The captain ordered the lifeboats
ready to pick up the wrecked men, and
all she passengers crowded TO the rail,
eager to see what they anticipated would
be dozen or so starving sailors. In few
minutes the dark spot proved to be a
white one, and then we made out small
boat, with mainsail and jib, scudding
along at a spanking rate. AS we ap-
preached the tiny craft the crew and pas
sengeIs were thunderstruck. 1t was the
stra ngest sight 1 ever saw. just think
of running across vessel no bigger
than one of our lifeboats, steering on
her course as though merely cruising in
New FORK harbor. When we got near
enough saw two men on board. The
boat was large dory, decked over trim
ly, and they were seated in the hatch
way, not seeming to have noticed our
pre- ,ence. When the captain yelled out
to them the voysgers looked up In ap..
parent surprise, and one of them cried
out, "Look out there; in another minute
we'll run you down" This raised
laugh among the passengers, who gave
three cheers for the two men, who an
swered the usual nautical inquiries,
"This is the ship Little Western, sailed
from East Gloucester, Mass, on June 10.
We are bound for England, and don't
you forget It," Tue strangers faces were
weather. beaten and bronzed, but they
seemed quite happy. They said that the
VOYAGE was a pleasant one and their boat
was storm-proof. Before we left them
the occupants Of the dory refused to take
any provisions, saying that they were
we'll stocked. AS the two vessels kept
together, the difference in size, added to
the independent character of the men;
made the scene humorous.
