FRENCH EXPLORERS RESTING GRAND CANYON, Ariz., Nov. 12. Three French explorers, one a woman, who navigated the Colorado River more than 1,000 miles, were reported resting at Lees Ferry, Ariz., near here today. National Park headquarters announced that the trio had arrived at the isolated river crossing on a voyage downstream from Green River, Wyoming. They started September 13, in tvo small boats. The party consisted of Bernard De Colmont, thirty-two and his bride of three months, Genevieve, twenty-two, and Anton-ine De Seynes, thirty-eight, all of Paris. An early snow storm and low temperatures in northern Arizona halted the adventurers.
