ANOTHER QUITS EARLY

By the Associated Press.
DOVER, September 4.-Charles 10th
of Boston, who started Saturday even
ing in an attempt to swim the Eng
lish channel, from Dover to the
French shore, had to give up early
yesterday morning after having been
in the water for II hours ana ~
minutes.
10th was taken from the water
shortly before o'clock at point
fourteen miles off the English coast:
His managers assert he was in good
condition. The sea was choppy ana
So degrees Fahrenheit. The weather
was clear. but high wind was blow
ing.
One Quits Early.
10th and Sam Richards. also OF
Boston, started out Saturday evening
to endeavor to accomplish a task that
has been done successfully by only
two men-Capt. Matthew webb ana
#. w. Burgess, both Englishmen.
Richards made splendid start, but
collapsed at the end of two hours ana
had to be taken from the water when
he was seized with a violent attack
of coughing and pains in the chest.
10th stuck to his task throughout
the night, but with the coming OF
dawn he also was forced to give up
in consequence of the cold, the rough
sea, kicked up by stiff northeast
wind. and bad tidal conditions.
10th had come to within approx
mately six miles of the French coast
when it became necessary to remove
him from the water This was a
difficult task, for his body was so
thickly lathered with grease to keep
out the cold that his attendants could
scarcely get a grip on him. 1t was
like landing great eel by hand.
Two of the small boats accompanying
the swimmer were nearly sWamped
in the process Of pulling him out.
The torpedo boat destroyer Nc
Cormick sighted 10th through the
first streaks of daylight and finding
at that time he required no assistance
proceeded on its way to Spain.
Others to Make Attempt.
Neither 10th nor Richards will at
tempt again this season to swim the
channel Henry Sullivan of Lowell.
Mass. and Walter Patterson of
Bridgeport, Conn. however. will es-
say the feat, both having been under
long training here for 1t. Patterson
has announced his intention to wait
for fortnight. when the next neap
tides will be running. Sullivan is
likely to take to the water at any
hour.
English swimming experts express
doubt whether it will be possible for
any swimmer to cross the channel
this season. The weather has been
continuously unfavorable and the
temperature of the water has been
and still is too low. They declare
that to negotiate the channel a vir-
tually motionless sea with tempera-
ture of about 81 to 81 degrees Fab
renheit is required.
