The eastern flowing tide, which had about ihree hours to rog, carried him in the direction of the South Goodwin Lightship. This he cleared on the shore side, and by the time the tide had finished'runding he was from three to four miles off the shore between Kingsdown and Walmer..

BRIEF INTERVALS FOR FOOD. He swam with scarcely any variation in his strokes, and only occasionally stopped for feed. ing purposes. Refreshment was given to him from over the side of a small boat. Mrs. Wolffe had charge of these arrangements.

Several gentlemen on the steamer occasion. ally took a turn in the water with Wolfse, bul they were unable to keep u 1 with him for very long. Mr. W. Keilingley, a well-known mam- ber of the Brightos Swimming Club, made the best performance.

On board the yacht were a couple of pipers Nicol and Hendrey, who throughout the day frequently played the swimmer; some of his favourite tunes.

Several ships were passed in the Channel, including some men-of-war on their way to the

At this time the fishing smack Bonnie Mur guerste sailed up, and her crew gave Wolfe cheer, which was responded to by those on board the Sra Wolf.

SMOOTH SEA AND HOT SUN, Towards mid-day and for two or three hours afterwards the sea was like avhest of glass, and the' beat of the sun was so great that Wolffe wore his goggles and a head dress,

Swimming on the ebb tide. Wolffe made a line in the direction of a point about two miles east of Cape Grisues, and about ball-past two he got to within seven miles of the French coast, or two miles from Cape Grianez Point, at which time the tide had commenced to rus sastard, which are him a slight_se_in_to wards Capo Blancaez.

With the food tide came a little breers from the eastward, which set up rather an uncom fortable fap on the water. Notwithstanding that Wolff's had been in the water twelve hours, he was sull swimming his powerful side stroke with no decrease in his energy.
