　　After thawing her cold body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her.It was the fog.She was unable to see her goal.

　　Two months later, she tried again.This time, despite the same thick fog, she swam with all her strength and her goal clearly pictured in her mind.She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel!
