Somewhere between Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras 17-year-old Richard W. Heurtley, Jr., erstwhile member of the Class of 1940, is padding his own canoe in a desperate attempt to reach Florida.

Heurtley, who lived at 14 Garden Street last year, was forced to leave school because of poor health. All indications seemed to prove that his latest venture was a frantic effort to reach Palm Beach before the height of the winter season.
