DRIFTED OVER 50 MILES. PICKED UP ON HAYLE BEACH | Trivia
DRIFTED OVER 50 MILES.
PICKED UP ON HAYLE BEACH.
Mr. W. H. Phillips, of High-street, Woolwich, who is paying a visit to Ventonleague, Hayle, was walking along Hayle beach one day last week when picked up a small tin and on opening it found a paper enclosed, on one side of which was written in pencil:
"This tin was thrown in Poldhu River, near Helston, Cornwall, England, by F. Bennett, on the 15th day of Sept., 1911. I wonder how .... travel." The intermediate word or words were illegible. On the other side was written "The river flows the sea. F. Bennett, Roskear House, Camborne, Cornwall, England, Sept. 15th, 1911."
The words "Notice inside tin" were scratched on tho bottom of the tin.
The tin had been in the water five or six days, and during that period had drifted over fifty miles.
