"I'm no fancy swimmer,' he said diffidently, "out where I live, near Cape Fear, the waves run pretty high. I can stay in the water all Jay, if I have to, but when it comes to speed, I'm not there." He had a powerful stroke, hough, and when he dived into the wimming pool, "Captain" Will exdained to the onlookers how the ad's snappy action would work to dvantage In a heavy sea. In the water.
