8-Year-Old Boy Finds Message in a Bottle From 25 Years Ago and Tracks Down Its Sender
A handwritten message in a bottle, tossed to sea by a 14-year-old Quebec girl, took a quarter century to travel nearly 60 miles to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. There, it was found by an 8-year-old boy who was delighted by the earnest message.
He wrote back.

“Nyima thought it was garbage and he picked it up to clean up our land,” the boys’ father, Kelly Mitchell, told The Epoch Times. “They usually play ‘Tom and Huck,’ which would have been great for a message in a bottle find, but [they] had friends over that day and were just climbing trees.”

SYDNEY, N.S. A message in a bottle, sent more than 25 years ago, recently washed up on a Cape Breton shore, creating a relationship between two pen pals separated by decades and thousands of kilometres. It was a discovery eight-year-old Nyima Mitchell made while playing with friends near the water behind his house in Cheticamp, N.S. back in October. “I thought it was just some bottle that washed up here, but then I saw it had the paper in it,” recalls Nyima. It was a message in a bottle, dated August 1995, and signed by a girl from Quebec named Nellie Nadeau.
