Art of Swimming

Men are drowned by raising their
arms above water the unbuoved weight
of which depresses the head. When a
man falls into deep water, be will rise
to the surface, and will continue there il
he does not elevate his hands. If he
moves his hands under water in any way
he please>, MS head will rise SO high as
to allow him tree liberty to breathe, and
If he will use his legs AS in the act OF
walking (or rather of walking up stairs },
his shoulders will rise above the wster,
so that be may use less exert on with
his hands, or apply them 70 other pur-
poses. These plain directions are recon-
meudcd 10 the recollection OF hose who
have not earned to swim IN their youth.
rs they may be found highly advantage
