LAUNCELOT LEWIS, RIDE.
A Lads Journey of 600 Miles

A Lads Journey of GOO Miles
Through the Australian scrub.
In these days of records and record
breakers it seems almost impossible for
any 4one 10 win fame in a wholly new
sphere. II is improbable, however, that
the record made by Launcelot Ashley
Lewis, son of John Lewis, a weli-known
stockman of Koornga, South Australia,
Will be beaten for many years to come
HIS ride may be looked upon as unique
in the annals of Australasian travel.
Few lads of twelve summers would care
or dare to face a journey Of nearly 600
miles through the Australian scrub, land
overgrown with stunted trees, with no
companion but a couple of ponies, and
no guide but his own idea Of locality and
such direction as he could obtain from
an occasional camp or from bushman
that he CHANGED to meet. Young Lewis,
Notwithstanding all these difficulties look
ed upon his trip in a very matter-of-
fact way, for he undertook it purely as
a holiday Journey.
Early last January he decided to pay a
visit 10 some friends living at Warrnan-
bool Victoria. In such case, most boys
of that age would be taken TO the rail-
road station and handed over to the cons
ductor, who would keep an eye on him.
This boy came from more daring stock.
His father has on more than one occasion
made overland trips from the southern
to the northern parts OF the Australians
continent. The boy himself having had a
thorough training In bush life and horse
manship conceived the bold plan of doing
the long and lonely journey of $40 miles
each way In true bush fashion, astride
his favorite pony, with a pack pony by
his side
He arrived at Adelaide, Australia, from
Koornga, about Jan. 20, and after loading
his pack horse. proceeded via the Coorong
thence 70 Portland, Port Fairy. and then
on to Warnanbool He covered the SO
miles In sixteen days of actual travel. His
journey was only marked by two remark
able Incidents In writing of his experis

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT:

an officer of the regular navy, whose ideas
OF discipline are based on cast iron rules,
espies the laggard and administers a sharp
reouke. A squad of marines dash from
the barracks below and line up at the
secondary battery guns. Some of the ma
rines are hatless ana coatless, and one
wiry little private shambles along on one
foot. He stumbles against hatch-coam-
ing and kicks his shoe across the deck.
Suddenly an order comes out of the
gloom near the main hatch, and is carried
from gun to gun.
