1000 MILE TRIP
Taken BY Two Meriden Men To Avoid
the Hsat-To Europe and Back in
Nineteen DAYS.

The last leg of a unique trip was
completed by Elisha K. Bradley and
Edward A. Mansfield of Meriden last
week. In nineteen days they crossed
and recrossed the Atlantic Ocean, made
whirlwind railroad trip across Scot
land and England and returned Thurs
day greatly pleased with their fast but
odd itinerary of 1000 miles. The trav-
cling partnership Is worthy of COM
ment Mr.. Mansfield was for num-
Der of years in the United States navy
and it did not take him long to get
his bearings while Mr. Bradley was
cavalryman in the Civil war, so sailor
and soldier paired well in the long
trip.
The Meriden tourists left New York
Saturday, July 8, to escape the hot
wave and for the benefit of an ocean
voyage How well they succeeded in
the first instance can be judged from
Mr.. Brad1ey's own observance of the
mercury. 1t was SO cool on the ship
that an overcoat was always comfort
able. When leaving the New Found
land coast to strike out into mid ocean
huge iceberg was encountered at s
o'clock in the evening. The mercury
tumbled to 81 degrees in as many
minutes. That night the steam was
turned on in all the cabins. The trip
over was taken on the steamship
California.
Mr.. Bradley and Mr.. Mansfield land
ed in Glasgow at o'clock on Sunday
afternoon The following Wednesday
at II noon they set sail for home from
Southampton on the Majestic. The
three days and a half spent on land
were divided among Glasgow, Liver
pool, London and Southampton. The
distance between Glasgow and Liver
pool was covered by a fast express
train. In London the tourists only
took time to see Westminster abbey
and the houses of parliament, the
tower of London and Scotland yard
detective bureau, where they jumped a
train for Southampton.
1t was a case of quick changes and
yet the tourists can boast of having
seen a great deal of England in the
long railroad trip from the boundary
to the extreme southerly end of the
kingdom Three or four hundred miles
were covered on land in the short time
devoted to sight seeing.
One of the great sights of the trip
was the sail up the River Clyde. At
Cramps shipyard at Dumbarton the
Meridenites saw the keel being laid for
the new $50 foot ocean liner. A day
out of Southampton the cry of man
overheard. disturbed the passengers
at midnight The fellow in the water
managed to keep af1oat the ship en-
gines were stopped, boat lowered
and the man who had taken the i'm
promptil bath was rescued all within
twenty minutes time.

the same time as Policeman Myron
Morgan was at the Central station Civ
ing the alarm, having noticed the glare
on the sky, from his beat on Franklin
street.
The department responded promptly,
but the run was long uphill one and
the water pressure so light that the
barn was practically a total loss be-
fore they could get any kind of a
stream on it. Streams were laid from
hydrants in North street and East

ed was hitched to a hydrant, furnish
ing pressure which was quickly effect
i've. The other streams were shut off
while the steamer pumped. The steam
er from the Central station was also
on hand, but was not called on to
pump.
From the blazing barn, before the
water could do effective work, the fire
spread to pile of several thousand
shingles between the house and the
barn, and also a pile of cordwood, and
the single roof of the house caught
fire also. On the roof the blaze spread
fast. burning off both sides of the
main roof. and also penetrating to the
rooms of the upper floor. The main
