Pluck] Bui Vain Allempi By Girl To Swim" Channel

By Alvin l. Bteinkopf

DOVER, England, Sept. 6-—(AP) -mt‘hausted and hysterical. Shirley May France today was hauled from the water six miles from her Dover goal, ending a. plucky but vain at- tempt to swim the English Chan-

nel.

The 17-year-old Somerset, Mass. girl did not quit. She begged, cried and even fought to be allowed to carry on

But her father, J. Walter France, and her coach, Harry Boudakian, were sure they knew better. Dover's White cliffs gleamed too far away. Same of the worst tides were still to be fought, and the girl was moaning and numb with cold after being in the water 10 hours. Actual- ly aha had swum about 30 miles through changing tides which swept back and forth. '

Her failure dramed dreams. of movie stardom. oi riches and fame. Her attempt was one oi the most pretentious- channel swims of all time. A large international press corps watched from official and specially-chartered boats. Press planes circled overhead. Running accounts of her progress were broadcast.

She had hoped to be the 29th— and youngest-swimmer to conquer the stretch of buffeting water which standard reference works say is 20 to 2B miles wide. She also had hoped to beat the 1926 woman's record oi Gertrude Ederlc who swam the distance in 14 hours, 31 minutes. . :

Shirley May started the swim against the advice of her father.

“Like leading a lamb to slaught- er," he said when She walked into the water in rain and darkness at Cap Griz Nez, France.

During the swim he pleaded for her to give up. .

"Please do what Daddy wants you to do," he shouted. "Please baby, you're hurting yourself.”

For an answer, she threw herself on her back and tried to swim way. ‘ .

For 20 minutes Ikance and Boudskian pleaded.

"Shirley, give up! you're break- ing your Daddy's heart," France cried.

Finally. Bcudakian reached over and pulled _her toward the boat.

"Please. oh pleaoe, leave me in," she moaned.

8M struggled to pull away. Two boys, John Temmc. 18, and 'l'cny Brierly, 18, jumped in and held her against the rowboat. ’i‘he.t dis- qualified her.

Crying hystericalb, “look how near it is," she was dragged into the boat.

she altanped down. utterly ex- hausted. Her father. in tears too. wrapped her in his arms and said: "Never mind, . We can come another year. sweetheart. You did fine, you did fine."

She was brought to Dover in a pilot boat.
