The Sketch
25 May 1938
"Tornado" Smith and his wife, better known as Miss Marjorie Dare, of the Kursaal "Wall of Death," Southend, are busy on an unusual occupation. They are constructing a 12-ton Bermudan cutter, to be called "Home Made," in which they propose to sail round the world, in spite of the fact that Mr. C. W. Smith has had no previous experience in shipbuilding. For this work, they are using a barn.
