At Battery Park, abode of the homeless, mecca of excursionists, they were fished out, their wet hands wrung, their likenesses caught by cameramen, their feat lauded. For 38 miles, for 7 hrs. 41 min., they had inched a zigzag course from Sandy Hook. To eschew a tide they headed eight miles out to sea, were met by another strong tide in the harbor.
