Abdel latif Abou Hell, second place finisher in this year‘s At- lantic City swim. had gone straight to Robervalm. Que. for next week's Lake St. John swim. thinking that today's swim had been cancelled. _

It was only at 9 pm. Wed- nesday night. that he found the swim was definitely on. Upon learning this he attempted to get transportation to Quebec City but all he could locate was Is! taxi for a run. which cost
