Two young Germans, Johann Boessel and Hans Boech, have arrived at Cairo, having paddled their own canoe from Augsburg, Bavaria, which they left in March, voyaging down the Danube and southward along the coast of Syria and Palestine. They will proceed shortly north to the coast of Africa, the Bay of Biscay, and the English Channel, and so to Germany. They have had many adventures and have survived a number of storms in the frail craft, which measures only 36 feet by three feet.
