And Jack Weidman is the most picturesque figure. I think. of all the
channel swimmers and trainers htrsabou‘is. Certainly he is the only
shark of any description that 1 have liked. He is one of those aiding
me as I prepare for my attempt.
He has a charming wife. in her twenties. whom he is training to do
the channel when he thinks she is old enough.
Jack learned to swim under Captain Matthew Webb. who was the
first man on record to swim the channel. a feat performed 28 years be-
