GIRL'S MOONLIGHT BATHE
Filtering tho water at Burnliam-on-Sea, Somerset, for a moonlight bathe, Miss Helen Richardson, a visitor to the town, was swept out to sea by a strong current. It was not until she touched a sandbank near the treacherous Gore Sands, about a mile from where she entered tho water, that she was a bio to rest. There she -remained all night until the rising tide forced her to b<!gin swimming again.
This time a strong current carried the girl down tho Bristol Channel, but, as daylight was breaking, she managed to get ashore near Linckley Point, about 12 miles from Burnham-on-Sea. She wandered on until she came to a barn, ('hero she rested until she was found by a workmaji, who directed her to a house some distance away. After she had been given a hot bath, food and clothes, Miss Richardson was taken back to Hnrnhani-on-Sea by car, littlo tho worse lor her adventuro.
