When tho ex-paymaster had finished his

his remnant of cigar, he was mildly
surprised to find the match box empty, and
affected to be moro surprised

A LONG SWIM,

at the London aquarium.

Cont HtG6 Starts on Si.rfH HG"r'S HiTiin
a: the London aquarium.
London Special, March s.
The ambitius Webb, ex-captain of the
seas and present great floater and swimmer
of all fresh and salt waterdom, who es-
chews Boynton India rubber aud strips to
the buff, made lis debut IN the Westminster
aquarium 10 day at 10 A. H., before an adj
miring and applaudinS crowd. Placing
himself at tho end of tie tank Of tie royal
aquarium, and facing tho audience politely,
he bowed properly as became one so nude.
Then under the inspiring music of a band of
music, which vigorously followed the "Na-
iional Anthem" with the moro appropriate
nautical aria of ''rn, Afoat, I'm Afioat," he
bounded into the water. He struck out with
n silent consciousness of being lat home.
His engagement Is to swim sixty hours. with
thirty minutes retirement every twenty
four hours.
Captain Webb is below medium height,
with full, rounded chest. hardy frame
aud well set, squarish head. His bicepS and
sinews ere powerful and firm. In swimming
he INDUCES in no "iodges." It Is legiti-
mate work. Occasionally he allows his feet
to drop, when he assumes an upright position
thus giving greater freedom in breathing
than horizontal one. He occasionally
gives side motion, also, III order to prevent
cramp. He, however, swiins close by the
ST of the tank, SO that his distance, as vel
as time. can be estimated. In his diet he i:
simple, but substantial, taking food that is
light and y9t sustaining. He VOC tas ttt
theory that every young man can learn tC
swim for at least twentyfou: hours; and q
qualified may at some period or other hays
the saving OF his own aud ether lives i'll hi
hauds. lie proposes to put his theory with
in the practical reach of swimming
schools, and to this end will visit many pas!
of Europe and America.
