Canoeist Sullivan Aims For California From New York
H. Sullivan Jr. leaves New York harbor by canoe at 5 PM bound for San Francisco via the Panama Canal and Gulf Coast, planning a two month voyage across U S rivers and canals to reach Cincinnati, then the Mississippi to New Orleans and onward to Panama. He cites Siwash knowledge, vast endurance, and a 16 foot red cedar canoe with 800 pound pack and weapons, claiming historic feats such as saving thirty lives in Peru flood. He expects danger in open water between the Mexican coast and Southern California and hopes to deliver greetings to San Francisco’s mayor from Mayor Gaynor.
