that the first experiments in wireless
were made.
Miss Gleitze, in deciding 70 make
her plunge from the Irish side, will
probably have the advantage OK a
comparatively smooth-water start,
mere favorable tidal conditions and a
breeze aiding her. more or less, on
the journey. She would. however.
have to be prepared for q stiff
struggle when she neared the Scot
fish coast. which is washed By a
four-knot tide. the sea being particu-
larry rough at times owing TO the
prevailing westerly winds.
Success would largely depend on
whether, when she reached a certain
point in mid-channel. the current
would carry her off or on-shore. and
in AIRY event there would still be that
ever-present difficulty of selecting a
safe landing place along the rocky
shore.
The first four miles OF the Scot
tish mainland would, however. Be
found TO constitute the greatest OF
the swimmers handicaps, after whitN
she would be in comparatively smooth
water, albeit she would have 70 use
