Monday Evenirvg, August 30, 1937 LOGANSPORT PHAROS-TRIBUNE PAGE FIVE Swimmer Reaches Goal in 148 Hour Endurance Trip Ends in Victory Charles Zimmy Reaches Kew York Sunday Sight in 156-Mile Trip Down the Hudson LEGLESS SWIMMER REACHES GOAL NEW YORK, Aug. 30--(UP)-- Barrel-chested Charles Zimmy, 43- year-old legless swimmer, last night ended his Albany-New York endurance swim at 9Sth street at 10:15 p. hours after he left the state capitol. The curly-haired swimmer, who smoked about six cigars a day on his leisurely six-day paddle down the Hudson river, was hauled into the rowboat that accompanied Mm on the swim. He immediately lit a cigar and announced that he felt "fine." Zimmy passed his announced destination--the Hudson River Day Line Dock--shortly after 10 p.

m. and continued south for more than a mile until he crawled onto the rocks at 9Sth street. Then he got into the boat, which i was towed by a launch to the 125th street pier where a Harlem hospital ambulance, reporters and newsreel cameramen were gather- 1 ed. As the rowboat neared the pier. 3immy dropped into the water and swam 2 short distance to the float where he posed for the cameramen as a.

crowd of about 300 watched and applauded. Except for swollen fa.ce and arms, the burly swimmer looked After posing for live minutes he laid down in a stretcher and announced that "this feels the best of all." "It was a pretty tough swim and I lost about 37 pounds," he said. "What I want now is some sleep and a good meal." Zimmy explained that the tide swept him past his destination before he realized he was there. A police boat and customs patrol boat were sent out to bring him back. Zimmy, who lost his legs in an accident in Chicago when he was nine years old, started his swim last Monday night and has been taking food and regular rest periods in the water.

Capt. W. S. Tucker, operating the motor launch accompanying the swimmer down the river, said that Zimmy was "pretty well exhausted" but was confident he could hold out. A favorable tide set in soon after Zimmy paddled past Yonkers, N.

Y. For several hours previous, he had battled an adverse tide which carried him backward faster than he could advance and once he was forced to head toward shore and "anchor" a few yards off the Jersey coast. Zimmy has had six cigars a day since he left Albany, drawing from a supply of 200 aboard the launch. Crowds gathered along the Hudson to watch Zimmy come down the "home-stretch." At the Englewood ferry, powerful searchlights were played on the water to avert the possibility that a boat might run down the river. Wonts Cannon Back, No Questions Asked PITTSBURG, Sept.
