Swimmer Sully's Remarkable Feat. It is difficult enough for most people to keep afloat by the vigorous use of both arms and legs in the water, but William Sully of London, is such an expert swimmer that he could get along very well if some one were to tie him hand and foot and throw him overboard to drown. Sully would surely catch his enemies napping, for he thinks nothing of taking a dive when his limbs are securely bound. WILLIAM SULLY. Keeping afloat merely is the least of Sully's troubles. He not only does that when he is securely tied up, but he performs numerous tricks and generally proves himself one of the most remarkable swimmers the world has ever seen. When he plunges into the water unfettered he gives an exhibition of aquatic marvels that would make Leander, of Hero and Hellespont fame, turn green as sea water with envy if he could only witness it.
