GIRL NEGOTIATES
CHANNEL SWIM
Peggy Duncan Completes
Crossing in is Hours and
IS Minutes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DOVER, England, September &c.
Peggy Duncan, 20o-pound South Afri-
can girl swimmer, succeeded this after
noon in her effort to swim the English
Channel. She landed at south Foreland
from cape Griz Neg, France, at 1885
pm.
Miss Duncan, who is 10 years old,
had hoped to beat the 14-hour-25-
minute record c. Gertrude Ece1.e, es-
taplished four years ago. Entering the
water at about $40 pm, her initial
speed was about "a miles an hour.
The total time for her swim was l6
hours and is minutes.
Miss Peggy's chances of beating Ger
truoe Ederle's record were taken from
ner at the western entrance of Dover
Harpor about 1880 am, when she bat
tleo against an adverse tide for near
~ an hour and made practically no
progress.
Proud Of Scottish Descent.
The young Channel victor was born
IN johannesburg. Her father is q ma
tive OF Glasgow, and she is proud Of
her Scottish descent. She is the third
woman to try to swim the Channel this
year and the first to succeed.
In 1926, when Miss Duncan was Just
Is years old, she set new mark in
swimming from Robbens Land to Cape
Town, distance of about miles, in
912 hours. The water was said to be
colder than that of the English Chan
mel and to be infested with sharks.
She was the only one of six women and
six men who started the race to finish.
She started training for her Channel
swim at Boulogne, France, early In Au-
gust of this year
Favorable conditions prevailed for
Miss Peggy's swim. The sea was calm
and the air almost MINDLESS when the
tugboat Jenner, escorting her, was
sighted early this morning. There was
every prospect that she would break
Miss Ederle's record.
But as the tide slowly carried her
along the coast, the crowd watching
her struggle to keep going, became
nervous and excited.
81 am all right at present." she
shouted to the occupants of speed
boat passing close by. She was SWIM
ming with a trudgeon stroke, but the
tide was strong.
Crown Cheers at End.
Cheer after cheer was raised as she
stepped ashore at South Foreland. She

She was found there soon after.
smoking a cigarette and looking as
fresh as If she had just come in from
stroll.
She admitted, however, that she did
not feel like swimming back to France
lust at the moment" but added that
she would be all right as soon as she
had had a bath"
"The swim was quite uneventful, ex-
cept that I was stung on the face by
jellyfish. That soon passed, however,
and did not trouble me.
During the swim had cocoa, coffee
and beef tea. Throughout used the
trudgeon stroke. The temperature of
the water gave me some muscle trouble
and that was the only thing preventing
me from breaking Miss Ederle's record"
She recalled smilingly that during
her seven-mile swim in 1926, from Rob-
bens Island to Capetown, she had twice
been saved from sharks by timely har-
pooning and rifle shots from her escort.
