...plan was for the hikers to take a train to the canal terminus in Cumberland, Md. and walk from there to Washington, D.C. Two days and 43 miles after they left Cumberland, Bookman and fellow walkers arrived at the Woodmont Rod & Gun Club, where they were to spend the night and where a TIME courier was waiting to take Bookman's copy to the nearest telegraph office.
