A strong cold southerly made the sea very choppy, but ten competitors finished. V. J. Wise, 6min 20sec handicap, won in 22.40; L. Butler (4.40) second; and M. Jenkinson (1.40) third. The scratch man, H. Newman," made the best time, 19min 4secs. The "swimmers went with the wind, so that the times were thus considerably better than expected in cold and broken water.
