On Aug. 23, 1935, in one of the worst storms of the season, Mrs. [Peter J. Abdou] tried to make the swim from England to France. A man accompanying her gave up after only four miles. After 16 hours, with the French coast in sight, Mrs. Abdou was forced to abandon the swim because of the rough seas.
