Wozniak on Sea I shall not accompany Mr. Alexsandra Wozniak,

a Nottingham engineer, when he attempts to walk across the Channel on water skis. I once placed my feet in two boat- like structures which were supposed to carry me safely over Highgate Pond, but, as I was never able to let go of the man on the bank who was supporting me, I decided, this form of progression was for fools only. Had my launching been successful, doubtless I would have other views.
