At 1:30 p.m. when it was estimat1 ed that Miss Ederle was nine miles from Cape Gris Nex, whose cliffs had faded into Mie distance behind her, a strong southwest wind blew up at a rate of more than tour yards per second. The possibility that the American ill might have to abandon the attempt was presented by this unforc een wind from the southwest. Starting with a confident rush, tier graceful body cleaving the water aider the impetus of a powerful raw! stroke, the swimmer had brokn a record for channel swimming tolay before she had been out half an hour for Cape Gris Nez.

She changed occasionally from the swift crawl stroke with which she struck out from Cape Gris Nez to a breast stroke. The channel, ever treacherous to swimmers, was beginning to pile up its difficulties in her path. The fog increased The wind, which had come up out of the southwest, was making the channel surface choppy. Miss Ederle lad entered upon the difficult .stage of her swim, when the uncertain cioss tides swipet her on a zig zag course. Occasionally, she rested and took nourishment from her trainer, who went to her in a rowboat t'ftim the official tug. Now and then, one of the party of swimmers aboard the tug would slide over the side to join her in the water. Miss Elsie Viets, the official chaperone, led a three piece Jazz orchestra in gay tunes of which the swimmer is so fond. o_ Metal railway ties have to be used 'in many parts of India.
