An eager-beaver Mutual newscaster tried to creep down beside Shirley May for a waterside interview, but she was too busy. From the Black Magic's deck, Frank Sinatra records beamed encouragement to the struggling swimmer: "Down & down I go, round & round I go, like a leaf that's caught in the tide . . . under That Old Black Magic . . ." The Red Commodore also relayed a message from young (18) Briton Philip Mickman, who had unobtrusively swum the Channel...
