Young Girl Makes Half a Mile IN
Record Time.
Six-YearoId Covers Long Distance at
Dover In Nineteen Minutes-Cuts
Her Way Though Waves
Like an Expert.

Doyer.-Visitors to Dover and prom
enaders on the harbor piers we're
astonished recently to see little
mite OF a girl, barely more than
baby take the water with all the ease
and aplomb of channel swimmer
and proceed to swim half mile
across the bay In the record time OF
10 minutes.
And the sight was in truth a re-
markable one. The diminutive swim
mer, looking the merest speck on the
sunlit waters, cut her way through the
waves with a businesslike. sturdy
breast stroke that would have done
credit to a Wolff or a Holbein.
Swimming by her side with watch
full eyes was Mrs. Jack Weldman, the
channel swimmer. But the little
record-maker NEEDED no guardianship.
Instead, the little girl finished her
half mile as fresh as a cricket with
out aid of any kind, and this although
the sea was anything but smooth. BY
some people it would have been con-
sidered choppy.
The plucky little girl who achieved
this novel performance is Freda Pick
EFT, a six-year-old pupil of Miss Jar
Wis. sister of the English champion
swimmer.
The part of Dover bay covered by
the child is that which lies between
the Prince of Wales pier to the Prom
enade pier. distance Of half mile
which she covered in the extraordi
nary time Of 10 minutes.
The childs parents belong to Mar

prowess.
