Captain Boyton's Second Trip Across The Channel.
CAPTAIN BOYTON'S SECOND TRIP ACROSS THE CHANNEL .
ON Satnrday morning last , Bro . Captain Boyton , after having been tossed for nearly twenty-four hours in the silvery streak which divides Franco from England , landed under our white cliffs , near the South Foreland Light , within gunshot of that castle which the old chronicler says was " ye verie locko and keyo of ye whole realmo of England . " The coast at Fan Bay is both wild and dangerous , for " rocks
fringed by the flowers of the sea , and over whose ridges " the brown dank seaweed flaps , " jut out from tho mainland—and in tho cliffs " discordant sea birds mock tho laving foam " with their white breasts , while " hollow caverns echo back their shrieks . " It was at this point of tho Kentish coast that our hero landed at half-past two iu theumniing , after having been wave-whirled mid Channel , and battling manfull y and successfully with its tides aud currents , for a whole day and a night .
No one , after Captain Boyton ' s previoas attempt to cross the Channel in his life-dress , doubted , for a single moment , either the efficacy or the value of his invention , nor the indomitable pluck which he displayed on that occasion ; nevertheless , the gallant captain had made up his mind to thoroughly accomplish his self-imposed task , and ho succeeded most perfectly , amid tho deafening huzzahs of those
p ; entlemcn who , in tho South Eastern Company ' s steamer " Ernest , " had watched his progress from Cape Grisnez to Fan Bay . From the moment when ho entered the Channel on tho French side , at threo o ' clock on the dull grey morning of Friday , notwithstanding that tho sea was rongh , there was but little doiibt that he would accomplish his object . ; but it was never expected by those
who watcned him that the task would havo been so long and tedious . For two hours , when about seven miles from the coast , ho made but little progress , and the Channel seemed " to endeavour to keep master of the situation ; " but tho gallant captain rose with each advancing wave , and fought courageously , paddle in hand and sail on foot , disputing , inch by inch , tho power of the tide to arrest his course .
Tho French people , who crowded the shore on his departure , were most enthusiastic . The bleak point of the coast was made visible b y monster fires on the rocks , guns wero let off , and rockets whizzed through the clammy air in honour of tho occasion . Tho reception he met with at the completion of his journey was thoroughly English . A salute of ton guns was fired from tho Pier-head at Dover , and
Captain Jones , tho Harbour Master of Folkestone , and a number of port officials , greeted Boyton as he stepped from the "Ernest" to tho shore . In the afternoon ho was entertained at a sumptuous banquet , favoured by tho presence of the Hon . Mr . Byng , the Mayor , and many members of the Corporation , and John Shaw , Esq ., the Manager and Secretary of the South Eastern Railway—in all about forty gentlemen .
Everything was done by Mr . Michael Boyton to enhance tho pleasure of the trip , so far as the press representatives aud other gentlemen were concerned ; nevertheless , some of them did enjoy themselves moro than others , although it may bo said , witb truth , that those who exerted themselves the least enjoyed themselves tho most . The journey was diversified by Mr . Sainuol Plimsoll , M . P ., exhibiting some extraordinary lights and storm signals .
