Difficult Swim Is
finally Mastered
CAPTAIN ALFRED BROWN CROSS
ES FROM BATTERY TO SANDY
HOOK BEACH.

New York, Aug. 30.-After many un-
successful attempts by many SWIM
mers to swim the twenty-five miles
from the Battery to Sandy Hook, Cap
tain Alfred Brown, of the Flushing
Bay Life Saving station corps accom-
plished the feat yesterday. Diving off
of the battery wall at Sis o'clock
yesterday morning he landed at Sandy
Hook at 6:53 p. M, having been in the
water 10 hours and 80 minutes.
Captain Brown was accompanied by
four men in launch and rowboat.
He had to be assisted up the beach
when he landed as he was benumbed,
but after a brisk walk he limbered up
and declared he felt no bad effect from
his long immersion. During his swim
he ate but three small sandwiches and
drank small quantity of tea.
Part of the swim was against a
strong flood tide and fresh sOutherly
wind. Numerous swimmers in former
years have reached point within a
few hundred yards of the beach and
had to give up, owing to the power of
the inrushing tide which met them.
