Across the Channel
Across the Channel
Erna
Hart is going to swim across the English Channel tomorrow. She is going to set
out from the French coast at five o’clock in the morning. Erna is only fourteen
years old and she hopes to set up a new world record. She is a strong swimmer and
many people feel that she is sure to succeed. Erna’s father will set out with
her in a small boat. Mr. Hart has trained his daughter for years. Tomorrow he will
be watching her anxiously as she swims the long distance to England. Erna
intends to take a short rest every two hours. She will have something to drink
but she will not eat any solid food. Most of Erna’s school friends will be
waiting for her on the English coast. Among them will be Erna’s mother, who
swarm the Channel herself when she was a girl.
