Mr David Thomas and his family are back in London again looking none the worse for their experiences in the merry motor, although it nearly proved Juggernaut for the genial and adventurous Ashburtonian. The family started out in their Daimler early in August, and whirled along through Melton Mowbray, Nottingham, Peterborough, Sheffield and Bradford to Carlisle. In the neighbourhood of Sheffield, while the motor was climbing a hill, Mr Thomas got down to ask a policeman the way. Seizing the standards, he tried to get in while the motor was in motion, but was dragged under the car, the back wheels of which passed over his feet and left thigh and arm. Though suffering considerable pain, he continued Iris journey to Carlisle, where the motor, which was rather out of order, broke down. The party therefore travelled by train to Glasgow, where Mr Thomas was induced to put his feet in the hands of Dr. Guthrie. The doctor pronounced the right foot broken, but after it. had been bandaged up in plaster of Paris, the motor once more made its appearance, and was safely manoeuvred by Mr Thomas and party to Loch Lomond and back. Another break-down, however, finally rendered it hors de combat, and Mr Thomas henceforward entrusted himself and his family to a less exciting but somewhat surer means of locomotion. After journeying, via Stirling, to Inverness and back by the canals and the Clyde to Glasgow, and after a brief stay in Edinburgh, they crossed to Belfast, and went down to Killarney. After another visit to Stirling they made their way down the East Coast as far as York, and then across to Manchester, Liverpool and the Isle of Man. After touring in Wales they made for Bath, and then to Southampton, intending to cross to the Isle of Wight. Kain, howrever, set in, and they returned to London, where Mr Thomas has been studying the ways of Smithfield ever since. Before they leave on the 9th of next month by the Oroya they intend to visit Maidstone, Mrs Thomas’ birthplace, Worcester and Derby, and to take a look at Brussels and Paris on their way down to Marseilles.
