What Makes a Man Do This?

What makes man Of 80 or 40 take a
sailboat when he can't sail it, put in
his friends or family for ballast. and
60 right out 70 capsiZing and tragedy ?
You cant answer that any more than
YOU can explain how such a fool has
made out to survive TO bis present GO.
Why didn't he reach his deserved fate
long before? No one can say. Enough
that it does overtake him and he gets
from ten lines to A column in the paper,
according to how big a fool he was.
At the shore we see sailboats run away
out into the sound, until they can hard
II be seen. and when the clouds come
I'D and it begins to thunder the ven
turesome amateur who is away out
there is the last to start for shelter. He
doesn't know enough to know his dan
ger. So it goes each summer. and each
summer has its long string Of drown
ing tragedies for part Of its history.
But, as we said before. no one summer
does it up completely. so rs to give
civilization fresh chance. A lot Of
peoplc arc drowned for their folly this
wear who lived through last year. which
was lust as good year for drowning.
and a lot will live through ths year
and go out and drown in 1896 as read
liz as if they were led. -'~.!''''
