THE VALUE OF KNOWING HOW TO
SWIM.

Hanging in the shroud of sinking
ship on wild November afternoon, the
engine-rOOm flooded from the leak, the
steam-pumps not able to work, my back
tortured beyond endurance with hard
labor at the levers of the hand-pHmp,
the deck swept by the bursting seas, a
wild and angry sky above, the lee shore
perfectly horrible in the tempest of its
waves and the thunder of the surf that
went rolling and charging by squadrons
of pillows over half mile of low sandy
bottom, asked myself whsther, if tho
ship broke up, could manage the under
tow that merciless drag backward of
the sea, the tOpmost wave washing the
swimmer illusively toward the shore,
the undermost sucking him down and
out. | said 70 myself an emphatic
Yes" But theexperiment was spared
me, and l got ashore the next morning
in a life-bOat. Ever since that awful
hour and night have sincere respect
for the science and art of swimming. in
which, next to God, then rested all my
hope and trust.
But before we talk about fighting an
under-tow in wicked sea-way, let us
discuss the principles and methods of
swimming. To drown in a river, with
the shore only few yards away, when
any dog or donkey would reach the land,
must involve feeling of personal humil-
ition as well as despair. To be self
trustworthy is the first thing in mo-
ments of danger; but the art of swim
ming has high value in the saving of
other lives, and is, besides, luxury and
accomplishment worth the having, for
the mere fun of the thing. In our civil
ization, swimming is an acquired accom-
plishment. 1t is understood to be a nat
ural function with nearly all kinds of
animals, hogs and humanity being the
leading exceptions. The inability to
swim is in all cases defect of education.

DIED STEAMBOATS,.

1t has come within the observation of
everyone for years that steamers char
tered for special excursions have been
often overloaded with passengers, and
that in this overloaded condition such
steamboats, have made long trips upon
our sounds, rivers and out at sea. Thus
far this perilous business has been carried
on without any serious loss of life. The
penalty for defying the laws of safety and
of nature in this manner, we have up to
this time escaped through sheer good
luck. But the public has had fair warn
ing that the time for some fearful acct
dent cannot be far distant, and may be
very near at hand we may at any
moment be called upon to record the
destruction of hundreds of lives by the
explosion, burning, capsizing or sinking
of boats loaded beyond their capacity.
The government provisions for protection
against accidents in such cases are not
adequate to meet all emergencies. The
whole matter is practically left to the
discretion of steamboat inspectors. Such
officers may be negligent or incompetent.
They are not always beyond the reach OF
pecuniary and social Establishments.
They may be directly or indirectly in.
terested in the profits or proceeds of an
excursion party. Greater safeguards
must be thrown around travelling in
multitudes.
