The young woman was very glad to
see him, and Fred examined her wrist,
finally declaring il was not very seri-

and bathed her wrist for some time,
much longer, in fact. than thought
necessary under the circumstances.
Finally he bandaged the wrist, smil-

Miss Fiske speedily answered it,.
So the next day DIR. Jordan found

The impression that drowning,
person comes TO the surface three
times Is mistake In fact, in most
cases he goes under once and stays
there unless some one goes after him.
Ordinarily, a person overheard takes
enough water into the BODY on first
sinking to weight it so that it will not
rise to the surface, but there seems
to be no rule of nature governing thi~,
Il suppose if one goes under with
the lungs full of air the body will come
to the surface. but usually the first
sinking rs the last.

Good swimmers, bad swimmers, and
