the Automobile Club of America were
at the pier to welcome them.
The men who drove the automobile
on its long journey were George Schus-

the San Francisco stage of the journey:
George McAdam, in charge of the pub
licity work, and George Miller,
mechanician.

little village of Yatsu in Japan.
The automobile was in the hold of
