A message in a bottle thrown into the sea in the US by a 12 year-old British holiday-maker has made it across the Atlantic and turned up on a Cornish beach. The message was thrown into the sea at Atlantic City, New Jersey by the girl, Alexus, from Durham on December 18 2006 and took a year to be found. It was blown ashore by recent gales. Beach rangers at Bude, North Cornwall, are appealing for Alexus to come forward to claim her bottle. Her handwriting has become so faded by sunlight during the 3000 mile Atlantic crossing that her full address can no longer be made out.
