A purchaser of a riverside property asked the estate agent if the river didn’t sometimes overflow its banks. “ Well,” replied he, “ it isn’t one of those sickly streams that are always confined to their beds.” Sir A. Conan Doyle, the medi-co-novelist, warmly supports Major-General Sir Reginald Talbot’s espousal of the Channel tunnel scheme and argues that in peace the tunnel will be a most valuable asset, and that in case of war against any nation but France it will greatly increase Britain’s offensive and defensive strength.
