Channel Bid Fails
Dutch housewife Mrs. Will Croes Van Rijsel, 30, failed in her attempt to swim the English Channel. She started from France's Cap Gria Nez and a.ter 14 hours 10 minutes in the water was forced to come out white still one and a half miles choppy off Dover. According to her trainer, E. H. Temme, conditions and a strong swell in the later stages of the swim tired her out. Photo show Mrs Willi Croes Van Rijsel, wrap- ped in towels, being ted to her hotel at Dover by Mrs. A.
