Channel

On the bright sands and in the bright water at Cape Gris Nez (grey nose), France, were, last week, the U. S. Zittenfeld twins, 15. There, too, were the English Misses Ivy Hawke, Joan Brunton. Molly Parker and Connie Gilhead--channel swimmers all. There, too, fattest, most bulbous, most famed, was Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston (240 lbs.), who last year remained afloat for 54 hours in a Bronx pool, finally being pulled out in a state of limb-swollen collapse. Worthy water-mates for her roamed also about the beach--an Egyptian, black and gigantic, named Ishak Helmy and a German whose name everyone forgot. All then, male and female, proposed to swim to Dover--and back, said Fattest Myrtle; but the press of France, of England, of the U. S.. of the world, would give neither a fig nor a fish for their story.
