Original Toronto Star caption: Off They Go ? into the drink; and an iced drink at that. Fifteen swimmers left Port Dalhousie last night bound for the CNE. While millions dozed in warm beds they slogged through the night; dropping out one by one until at dawn there were only five left in the race. A flotilla of boats were following them.
