CHANNEL CROSSING BY JEEP.—This amphibious jeep, nicknamed “Half-safe,” recently crossed from France to England. For a time it was stranded on the Goodwin Sands and was brought ashore by a lifeboat. The jeep belongs to Mr Frederick Carlin, an Australian, who is seen digging out one of the embedded wheels after landing at Walmer, Kent. Next to him is his wife and Mr T. Defresne, a Belgian, who travelled with them. After minor adjustments, the jeep was driven to Dover for customs clearance, and then on to London.
