Swimming Across San Francisco Bay

A young woman, Miss Nell Schmidt, living in Alameda, California, on August 12 performed the remarkable feat of swimming across San Francisco Bay, a distance of about eight miles, in three hours and six minutes. She battled against the outgoing tide, and other strong currents that were set up by passing ferries and the like, which shows the remarkable physical endurance of this athletic young woman.
