 FOR OTHER SIDE
But Intrepid LundbtrS k
 Hauled 0n BOard

New York, June e9 R)-The simi- larity of his name to that of another intrepid spirit was in the mind of Capt. Charles Lundberg az he paced the deck of his mud scow. tied up at 23d street. Brooklyn, in the after midnight darkness yesterday. For days the captain. who lives at No. 17s Henry street. Brooklyn, when he is not sailing the bounding main. had thought of little else and had even taken to calling his mud scow Spirit of Brooklyn.
 In his minds eye he was soaring into glory with that other descend ant of the Vikings when he inad- vertently walked of the scow into the backwash of the Atlantic the other had traversed. With the chill that shot through him as the water enveloped him came a flash of in- spiration. The world was soon to know that the only difference be- tween 8 Lindbergh and ~ Lundberg was . couple of letters.
 There was no Grover Whalen there to bid him sodspeed as he struck boldly out to swim from Brooklyn across the Atlantic to im- mortality. No encouraging whistles from the dozens of craft that threat ened constantly to run him down reached his ears, for none could see him bobbing along with a favorable tide. In fact, it was not until he was about four miles out, two hours after showing of. that he was first sighted.
 At that point. passengers and members of the crew of the munich pal ferryboat American Legion heard cries emanatins from the inky waters of the bay, their bur- den being . suggestion that the ferryboat get to hell out of the way.
 When a searchlight revealed the figure of 8 man headed in the gen. eral direction of Cherbonrg, mem bers of the crew. not knowing that transatlantic swim was under way, lowered lifeboat. into which they dragged the protesting Lund- berg.
 Mind your own business, why don't you?" demanded Lundberg. as soon as he could get his breath. What do you mean. putting in this way?"
 "Why, We saved your life. mani"
