...through the murky waters of lower New York Bay last week. 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.

Passing fell into disuse as it became evident that any individual might break away on his own account. Wetmore, Holbrook, and F. R. G.
