GERMAN ADVENTURERS
ACROSS CHANNEL IN CANOE. Two young Germans, Werner Schroeder and Johannes V/iele, landed at St. Margaret’s Bay, near Dover, recently, having cross the English Channel from Calais in a 14ft canoe, covered in only by a macintosh cover which allowed them free use of the body from the waist upwards. The pair left Calaia at t< 1 in the morning and arrived at Dover about five o’clock. They actually left Rosenheim, in Bavaria, and journeying through the Austrian Tyrol, arrived at Basle, via Lake Constance. They then followed the Rhine to Cologne, and made the open sea at Rotterdam. Hugging the coast the Germans reached Calais, w e-e they had to wait five days for fair weather.
