Swimmer after swimmer, in attempt

swimmers than he was. His success
lay in the fact that he was we'll served
by the tides What we do not know
is whether this was the result of pecIl-

or the result of ia stroke of wonderful

preparations were of the simplest sort
compared with the elaborate and al
most luxurious conditions in which the
