Ice

George Washington, as all the world knows, crossed the Delaware with folded arms in a small boat, rowed by his ragged orderlies among vast cakes of ice. Last week, as part of a sesquicentennial celebration, Mrs. Lottie Moore Schoemmell, swimmer, mother, swam across at the same place, on the same day of the year, in 10 1/2 minutes. Mrs. Schoemmell is said to be of Hessian descent.
