Landon.—The never -say -die spirit
of Mercedes Gleit', Landon typist and
swimming devotee, has at last brought
her victory over the treacherous wat-
ers of the"English Channel.
Entering the sea at Cape Grit Nez,
on the, Faencit coast, in the diarkrrese
for her engietlb attempt in the fast five
years, she fought tide, bitter cold' and
fog for 15 broniS and 15 ,minutes, to
emerge on a lonely beach north of
Folkestone.
Them; her resources ;spent; ehe'col-
lapsed, and was taken to Folkestone
and put to bed'. She is the first En'g-
lish woman, tire third of her sex and
the 12th pen^son to swim the. Channel,
She is also the fi'i:st swimmer to pea,
form 'the feat' so late in the season.
Miss Glantz is 24, Fur years •• she
has nursed the quiet :but indomitable
determination 'which at last 'brought
her onccc,co. Her landlady, with
whonn she has resided' for the last
five years says of her:
, Miss Gleitz saved`every penny' she
could hoard in order to make bar at-
tempts. She is not engaged, I have
never known hoer Owen to go out with
a man.
LIVED FOR SWIMMING
"She, has never gone to dances or
.he theatre since s'ho came to live
here. She lived 'entirely for her
swimming, but sloe arcs so quiet and
reserved that several people in the
house didn't even know slue was nrak-
avg the Channel attempt."
The first.waman to conquer the
Channel was Miss Gertrude Merle, of
New York, who in August, 1926, swam
it, in 14 homes 31 :minutes,' breaking
all pteviqus records.Her time 'is still
a record for'women. Mrs. Clemin;-
ton Corson (Mille, dude) later 'in the
same year negotiated the Channel,
crossing in 16 hours 82 minutes.
Of Mies' Gleitz's attempts the first
was in 1922. She failed• twice in 1925
