Boyton once again intended to swim to shore from 200 miles out at sea, but this time, Boyton did not tell the captain of his intentions, and so the captain was furious when he found Boyton on the side of the ship with his suit on about to jump in the water. Despite this, Boyton managed to convince the captain to drop him 2.5 miles out, where from Boyton paddled for 15 hours against the violent wind and waves of the storm to the Irish coast. By the time he got to shore, Boyton had his vision seriously impaired by the salt water, and thanked the "great pilot above", before sending a telegram to the captain that dropped him off, and the

In this race, Boyton had to travel between three buoys, while Webb only had to travel between two. After the race was postponed several times, it eventually went ahead on September 6. The details of the race are unclear, but the referee refused to declare a winner and later accused Webb of cheating by swimming to shore and running across the beach. Webb, backed up by Hartley defended himself, and it was later found out that the referee was Boyton's fiancee's dad, indicating that he was probably biased. 272: 452:
publicist, Boyton's arrival in small river towns was often heralded by great fanfare. Among his exploits were: paddled Rhine 430 miles (1875); Alton, Ill. to St. Louis, Mo. on the Mississippi (1876) and same year Bayou Goula to New Orleans, 100 miles in 24 hours; 400 miles on the Danube in six days (1876); navigated all important rivers of the continent, passed through canals of Venice and crossed the straits of Gibraltar; returned to the U.S. and floated from Oil City, Pa. to the Gulf of Mexicoβ€”2,342 miles in 80 days.

placed half a mile apart, with Webb tasked with swimming around them twenty times in regular swimming trunks, and Boyton tasked with swimming around them twenty-five times with his suit. Formal rule agreements were signed by both, and the swim commenced. There was a large crowd gathered on the beach, and Boyton got off to a very fast start. Unfortunately for Webb, he got a severe cramp which ended his race, while Boyton simply cruised to the finish.

The suit had a rubber bag attached, which was intended to be used as storage for survival essentials such as food and water. A small sail could also be attached to the foot. 92: 345:

Five years later, in 1880, both Boyton and Webb happened to be near Newport beach. They both agreed to a public race, and deposited $ 1,000 each into the prize pool. Newport casino owner James Garden Bennett also contributed $ 1,000 which brought the total prize pool to $ 3,000. Two white buoys were

Boyton made numerous further expeditions in this suit, swimming up and down rivers across America and Europe to publicize its uses. Boyton would tow a small boat behind him in which he carried his supplies and personal possessions, and sometimes invited newspaper reporters to accompany him. A canny

Before leaving England, Boyton umpired a race from Putney to Hammersmith down the Thames, where all the competitors were paddling in Merriman's suits. The competition was won by Mr. Whalley. On 23 August, Boyton performed one final time in England with the suit at Folkestone Harbour, before leaving

On August 25 1875, Matthew Webb became the first person to swim across the English Channel without any artificial aid. Although Boyton crossed the channel in Merriman's suit, while Webb did it in only his red swimming trunks, sporting and stunting achievements were compared more often at the time,

Originally, there was little public interest in the suit. With the hope to improve this, Boyton wanted to paddle from 250 miles off the coast of New York onto the shore, but could not find a single ship's captain that would take him out. Undeterred, Merriman invited Boyton to Ireland, where Boyton
