GETS NOTE HE
DROPPED WHILE
ON OCEAN TRIP
Rev. Mumbour of Mound City
Hears From His Bottle
Message.
TRAVELS 1000 MILES
Fisherman Picks it Up So
Miles Off East Coast
OF England.
TRAVELS 1000 MILES

A bottle, corked and sealed, con-
tanning message, dropped into the
Atlantic ocean, hundreds of miles
from the European shore by Rev.
Father F. Mumbour, priest OF the
Catholic church at Mound City,
Travelled nearly thousand miles on
the ocean, through the English
channel and for two hundred miles
in the North sea, where 1t was
picked up by a fisherman, who sent
the message back to Father Num-
bour with letter accompanying 1t,
lis an occurance so strange that
Father Mumbour has given it to The
Bulletin
He had told the story to many Of
his friends, but not until he was re-
minded OF it by reading of another
incident did he think of giving 1t
to the public.
This is what the Reverand Father
writes of this most remarkable oc-
currance:
Father Mumbour's Story.
II read In the st. Louis Globe
Democrat that a bottle is supposed
to have travelled five years to make
the trip around the world by water.
When going to Europe on the
steamer Pottsdam, | dropped bot
tie, well corked, in the ocean, about
two days west of the English chan
mel, In 1t ! had placed strip OF
paper with the inscription. Good
luck to you. Rev Father Mumbour,
June IA, 1912, Mound city, Ill, U.
s., North America.
Imagine my surprise when on
Sept, 18th | received the enclosed
letter with slip attached.
''The distance travelled by the
bottle thrown into the ocean by me
is astonishingly great, considering
the short time the bottle travelled.
The Pottsdam landed at Rotterdam,
Holland, on the 18th of June, 1919,
Sincerely,
FATHER MuMBoUR.
Mound City, H."
The letter from the finder Of the
bottle accompanied Father Mum
bour's note:
"239 Ragland Street, Lowestoft,
Suffolf, England, Aug. u, 1912.
"To the Rev. Mumbour:
Dear Sir Enclosed you will
find The message which was found in
a bottle in the North sea thirty-fiye
miles east, by northeast off Loves
toft, on the cath Of July, by Loves
toft fishing smack. Father being
unable to write, take a great pleas
ure in answering your kind message.
Trusting you will receive this note,
I remain. yours sincerely, Mr., Chas.
Hovells."
'P. S. Good luck to you all.
