The typical route from northern Switzerland was by boat down the Rhine River to Basel, then through Germany to Rotterdam, the nearest seaport for the voyage to Charles Town. It was a distance of nearly 500 miles to Rotterdam by boat taking about six weeks. The voyage from Rotterdam to Charles Town might take 12 weeks or longer.

Bennie Hunt Meets Death-- Bennie Hunt, the 13-year-old son of Mr. Jesse Hunt, recently wandered away from home with some friend. It seems that the great wide world did not have all the attractions that Bennie had pictured and he started back to be sheltered under his father's roof. Bennie fell or was thrown from a train about ten days ago near Memphis, Tenn., and was brought to Prattville. He died from his injuries last Saturday and was buried in the Pine Level cemetery last Sunday afternoon, Rev. M. L. Harris officiating.

His father, Mr. Jesse Hunt, resides about three miles northwest of Prattville. The death of this boy is doubly sad and should be a warning against young boys wondering too far away from home.
