A PLUCKY SWIM.

NEARLY ACROSS CHANNEL. By Telegraph.—Press Asm.—Copyright. Received July 23, 5.5 p.m. London, July 21. Georges Michel, a Frenchman, accompanied by Burgess, entered the sea at Cape Grisnez on Thursday evening, swam for 164 hours, and then gave up an attempt to swim the Channel six miles from North Foreland. The last hour’s swim was a plucky battle with cold and difficult seas. Michel once got within four miles of the English shore, and altogether swam and drifted 50 miles. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
