Walked Around the World.

ed a remarkable journey. interviewed

that in 1895 two clubs in. Vancouver

$500 on the point whether a man
would walk round the world in five
years, leaving without any money or
luggage, and depending entirely upon
his own exertion. Four men were found
willing to enter upon the task.
Mr.. Beresford Greathead, who was Sc
lected, said that he started in August,
age to England. He walked from Liv-
erpool to ond thence to John o.
Greats, and from there to Lands End
By way of the south coast he reached
London again, and went over to Ostend.
He passed through Bruges, where he
was formerly at school,. and met some
of his old school chums. Then Mr.Great-
head visited Holland, Switzerland, It
ally, Austria and Roumania- He passed
through Odessa, and eventually arrived
in M~anchuria. When he got there the
war was on. He was taken prisoner,
and detained for two months. when he
escaped.
Mr.. Greathead's intention had been to
go on to VladivoStock, Themes to Japan
and back to Vancouver, but owing to
the Chinese trouble he had to retrace
his steps. He came on to Southampton
from Havre on Saturday. He explains
that he was arrested as a spy many
times, and had to go into hospital once,
which circumstances, added to the inn
-prisonment in Manchuria, make up a
total of unavoidable detentions for
which he claims to receive credit. He
contends that if he is given credit ac-
c~ordingly he has won the wager. Mr.
Greathead has lectured in many towns
which he visited. and so obtained mon
ey for food and clothes. but for the
most part be has had to rely on the
good nature of those among whom he
has travelled.
Asked if he could produce signed tes-
tinony of his having visited the coun-
tries named, Mr.. Greathead said that
the books had to be collected. He had
left some at different stages of the jour
ney. This remarkable globe trotter
gives his age as 80, and says he is a
native of Hampshire.
