English channel has been conquered
by Gertrude Ederle. the l9.ycar.old
American girl swimmer.
Old Neptune. after numerous pre-
vious rcfusals, including Miss Edcrlc
herself, at last has lifted his three
prongcd spear and permitted q
woman TO swim across the turbulent
waterway dividing England from
France.
And as il in q most deferentisl
mood he accorded the former Amer.
lean and Olympic champion such
generally favorable conditions that
she accomplished it in shorter time
than any Of the five men who were
able to make the arduous journey,
from 1877 TO 1898.
Makes Record Time
Starting from Cape Girls NeS,
France. - 7:00 Friday morning un-
der splendid wea*lver .and tidal con-
