10-TON CUTTER

"AN AMAZING. VOYAGE

A thrilling story of niventure and hardship is told by Alain Gorbanlt. the French lawn tennis player, who has sacceeded in the perilous task of crossing the Atlantic alone in a 30ft, 10-ton cutter. In 142 days ho sailed 5,000 miles. -

Gerhault, who landed at Fort Tot ten, Long Island, on September 14th, declared that he started from Cannies on April 5th.

I told nobody (he said) that I was going to America To all my friends hat one I said I was going to England on a shurt trip. My one confidant supplied me with sixty pounds of salt beef, thirty- six tins of condensed milk, sixty pounds. of augar, ten pounds of tea, thirty-five pounds of ships biscuit, and sixty-five. gallons of elistilled water. My first goad was Gibraltar. As my boat is a cutter. and has only one mast and a long hoom. it was difficult for one man to work.". The second day out I struck had weather in the Gulf, of Lyons. Strong gales, blow for forty-eight hours, then dropped as suddenly as they sprang, and for days there was not a breath of air. I finally. reached Gibraltar twenty-four hours after I set ont from Cannes From Gibraltar

I set my course straight for New York. following the old sailing routes used by Columbus and afterwards by the pirates who sailed the Spanish main. Shortly afterwards I ran into another storin, los ing my good weather sails, whilst the roller boom, which had been repaired at Gibraltar, was hopelessly broken. All day and all night I worked repairing the main-sail For the next 1.500 miles £ atruck fair winds and moderate seas, With fine following winds I went for a week without touching the tiller.

Then disaster overtook me. One morn ing I awakened to find a peculiar suell

in ten gallon jars. I discovered that two- thirds of the water had gone bad because the jars were improperly cleaned when the water was placed in them. "After hnxious calculation I determined that with luck I could pull through if I ration- ed myself one cup a day. My staple diet at this time was potatoes, which are delicious when boiled in sea water in their `kking.

Except for the loss of the water, overy, thing went ideally for the next thousand miles. Sometimes I fished for bonitas, twenty or thirty pound monsters," with" harpoons. Sometimes as I fished over the side of the boat I nearly fell asleep in the soft warm winds. But once again Nemesis descended upon me. My care fully prepared wind chart which indic ated that the winds should be following for the rest of the voyage to New York, proved wrong. Within forty-five minutes the wind from being stern began to blow. in the opposite direction, followed by I fourteen days of calm. Then there were terrific squalls and rain. There was a foot of wafer in the cabin and the pump broke. The water rose higher and high- er. As fast as I haled it out, it'enme in again.

UNCONSCIOUS FOR TWO DAYA..

On the fifth roming of the downpour developed fever and a sore throat. On the seventh day my temperature rose to 104deg., and I hecame unconscious. When I awoke about fifty-four hours later every thing was awash. Then came the worst period of the whole voyage. For twenty- six days gales and winds blow with un- precedented furce. Every day and almost every hour something fresh was broken. One day I ventured on deck and noticed an enormous wave, rushing towards the boat. I was just in time to climb the rigging when the wave broke with tremen- dous force. The whole boat disappeared. entirely engulfed in the sea. Tona of water thundered overhead. Then the wave passed, and by a miracle the sinj righted herself.

M. Gerbault anid that eighty-four days out he fell in with the Greek steamer Byron, which provisioned him and gave hun medical supplies. Then bo sighted the Henrietta, of Boston, and secured from her fresh meat and fruit. Seven days inter he sighted the American coast and fetched up at

BRIDGE FOR SYDNEY

HARBOUR.

many

Citizens of Sydney, the great New South Wales port, have urged for years that the communication between the south shore of the Bay and the residential suburb on the north shore was wholly inadequate, the existing ferry boat ser vige being too slow and dangerous in foggy weather. Last November, an Act was passed by the New South Wales Parliament authorising the construction of a bridge between Dawes Point and Milson's Point, and the State Govern ment has now issued calls for tenders, to be lodged before November 30th.

Firms tendering are allowing choice of alternative designs: One is a cantilever! structure, with the cantilevers placed at 9sft. Din centres, giving a total clear span of 1,800ft. The headway in the centre is nearly 20ft. higher than is pro vided in either the Quebec or the Forth Bridge being 170ft. above high water at Spring tide. In the other design the bridge is in the form of un-arch, and it is expected that its adoption would effect considerable economies in the cost of con- struction which is estimated at about £6,000,000. The bridge is to be designed; for carrying four lines of railway, a road. way 57ft. wide and two footways 10ft, wide each. In both designg there is unrestricted headway and fairway for vessels of the largest size. ⠀
