HOVERS TO CONTINUE TRIP.

Publication: The New York Times
Date: 31 January 1909
Topic: Maxwell

Round-the-World Auto Tourists Were on Ill-Fated Republic.

Undaunted by their experiences on the ill-fated White Star liner Republic, on which they had set sail for Algiers, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Hover of Spokane, Wash., will shortly resume their automobile trip around the world by sailing for Algiers later in the Winter. The couple lost all their baggage in the accident with the exception of the clothes upon their backs, but fortunately their Maxwell touring car, in which they started the ambitious undertaking of a tour of the world, had been sent on ahead by another steamer, and is now well on the way to Algiers, where it will be held until the arrival of Mr. Hover and his wife.

Mr. and Mrs. Hover's journey of 100,000 miles will be the most comprehensive pleasure jaunt ever undertaken by motorists. The couple will travel through Europe, Northern Africa, and Asia, and do not expect to return here until the Spring of 1914. They carry a complete camping outfit, and Mrs. Hover, as well as her husband, is prepared to spend her nights by the roadside.
