'Ciaridge covered the distance, approximately seven miles, in just under 3J hours. For the greater part of the journey the conditions were against him. Showing no signs of fatigue, Ciaridge increased his pace slightly over the last hundred yards. He walked, ashore at Rona Bay aimid thunderous cheers, at 3.39 p.m. An hour after his landing Olaridge !was motored to Day’s Bay, where from the pavilion the Mayor of Eastbourne (Mr. JL M.
