AN UNUSUAL TRIP.

made before. He started April 8 fol

turned out by the Water Cycle Co. o.

he embarked on his queer craft fol
Toledo, returning he stopped again al
Detroit, visited Mt. Clemens and there
laid his course for Star Island and the
st. Clair river. Entering Lake Huron
he then steered around the thumb
and down the big bay to Saginaw,
where he left the boat and came home
by rail. His entire water trip covered
over 600 miles and most of it he accom-.
plished literally "afoot and alone, as
his craft is operated much as the safety
bicycle is. He met with some amusing
adventures and some more dangerous
than enjoyable, among the most vivid
in his memory being the crossing OF
Lake ST. Clair in dense fog, and his
amusing search for Sebawing a little
lake port, by the light of dim lantern
after having beached the cycle in the
muddy shore of a swamp.-Traverse
