abstract:Captain Matthew Webb (19 January 1848 – 24 July 1883) was the first recorded person to swim the English Channel without the use of artificial aids. On 25 August 1875 he swam from Dover to Calais in less than 22 hours.
If the suit does go forward, Tom could seek a settlement deal that would spare him and others from being deposed by Liesel and Matthew's attorneys, Lazar Raynal and Daniel Webb.
