Crossing the Channel on a Plank.


A day or two after Bleriot's sue

mel man named Westlake announced
his intention of crossing on plank

inches thick, fitted with a mast and
sail and two empty oil drums to give
it buoyancy. Westlake, however, was
picked up more dead than alive of
the Belgian coast, but still hopes to
accomplish the feat
A few days later Thomas Wakerell
set out to row across the channel in a
boat of his own construction, consist
ing of two planks, with sides few
inches high He was ultimately
picked up in the North sea and land
ed at Rotterdam.
Some two or three years ago four
old Etonians attempted to row from
Dover to Calais in four-car sculling
boat, but before they got half way
across the channel the boat was
swamped and the crew nearly
drowned. That 1t is not impossible.
however, to cross the channel in a
small boat was proved some time ago
by young French man named Felix
Chauchois, who, alone and unaided,
crossed from Dover to Calais in a
canoe in 81 hours and seemed little
the worse for his adventurous voyage.
