By the Amociated Prese. : | PARIS, October 13.—A dispatch to Le Matin from Boulogne says that investigation has established that the | | swimming of the English Channel by | Dr. Dorothy Cochrane Logan is au- | thentic. Paris newspapers yesterday | cast doubt on the performance. The dispatch to Le Matin says that Popieul, a man from the Cape Gris Nez semaphore, who was off duty, was taking a stroll on the cliffs and saw the British swimmer start. lightboat accompanying her was also sefn by the Egyptian swimmer, Ishak Helmy; a hotelkeeper and the | lighthouse keeper. Le Matin’s correspondent says that the only mistake she made was in | not announcing her departure before- band, so that it could be properly certified. (Dr. Logan was credited Tuesday with crossing the channel in 13 hours and 10 minutes; Miss Ederle took 14 hours and 31 minutes.) Carey declared that if the watch- {man at Cape Gris Nez lighthouse {had been keeping the proper lookout | between 7 and 8 o'clock Monday | night he could mnot have failed to |see tha dinghy with Miss Logan |aboard leave the fishing smack off shore and row to the beach, from which she started her swim.
