Francis X. Lesesne created what is
probably the swimming record on this

the island in good condition at go

ability to swim farther without rest.

ford McCrady and T. Grange Simons,
who were prepared to assist the swim

Grimball climbed into the boat just
beyond Fort Ripley, as he did not
intend to attempt to reach the is
lind. To Castle Pinckney the dar-
irg swimmer was going against the
flow tide; after that point the tide
was ebbing. Those in the row boat
were not confident of Mr. Lesesne
completing his long swim and kept
close to him. Mr.. Lesesne made the
entire distance without resting,
swimming steadily the whole time he
was in the water.
