BOTTLE ON St! TRIP
E FOSTER SOU BOOT

WASHINGTON, April 30. (/P)—Six
miles a day, or faster than old sailing
vessels, is the record established by
a bottle paper reported to the navy
hydrographic office.
The bottle traveled 7,300 miles,
from the Gulf of Tehuantepec on thie
western coast of Mexico to New Gui
nea. It was thrown overboard by Sec
ond Officer J. M. Johansen of the Nor
wegian steamer Hellen July 12, 1924,
and was pricked' up December 13, 1927,
on the North coast of New Guinea.
Caught by the northeast trades, the
bottle drifted into the north equatori
al current setting westward, its drift
passing Clipperton Island, between
the Hawaiian Islands and Palmyra
Island, through the islands of the
Marshall Group, thence southward of
the Caroline Islands across the equa
tor to the Hermit Islands, off the
north coast of New Guinea.
About a mile past the new bridges
the Toad is in fine condition, but from
there on it will possibly be another
week before a “ride de lux” can be en
joyed. i
