COOK STRAIT SWIM
WELLINGTON, Eebanury 1. The cold, said Mitts Copplestone tins morning, was the deciding factor. Kor the first half-hour it was not so bad, hut after that it was unbearable. “ No amount of oil or grease will keepLhat cold out, and the cold will prevent tho Strait being swum,” she said, “Tho conditions otherwise were perfect last night, and I urn confident the distance would not have beaten me. It was only the coldness of the water that beat mo, and 1 think it will beat any other swimmer who attempts me feat.”
