To Row Across the Atlantic.

The field OF freak enterprise in cross
ing the Atlautic under unusual con-
ditions is being gradually narrowed.
Several have made their way across in
small sailboats, aud now two foolhardy
adventures have arranged to row an
eighteen-foot boat from New York to
Havre. If they succeed the next
aspirant for distinction in that special
hne may have to announce his inten-
tion of swimming across in order to
attract interest.
The men who are to make the at
tempt to row across the Atlantic are
George Harbo and Frank Samuelson
They are Norwegian seamen. HarbC
is thirty one years old and Samuelson
8 twenty six.
Their boat, an eighteen.foot cedar
craft, of whaleboat pattern, is moored
in slip near the Barge Oflice,rat the
Battery, from which point they expect
to tart Saturday on their long anC
lonesome journey. The boat will b.
provisioned for sixty days. The mer
count upon rowing three miles
an hour, and believe that they car
cross before their stock OF provisiou
and water is exhausted
Five pairs of cars, a compass
quadrant, and chart comprise th,
equipments of the little craft. Th'
boat is not fitted with a mast or sail
and if the oars are lost or broken be
fore the journey is ended, the men vii
by in sad straits.
But as they are to make the attemp
for fame end such fortune as may &C
crue from that, the perils OF the IN
dertakipg do not daunt them.
