Says an expert swimmer:
1t looks very strange to see man 90
under water with lighted cigar in his
mouth. smoke calmly ut the bottom
and come to the surface with the cigar
burning as nicely as if he were smok-
ing i'll his easy chair. Apparently he
defies all natural laws. but of course
he doesn't.
1t is a simple trick. but it requires
practice. just as l throw myself back
ward to go down | Zip the cigar end
for end with my tongue and upper lip
and get the lighted end in my mouth.
closing my lips water tight around il
\ little slippery elm juice gargled be
fore going in prevents any accidental
burning of the mouth. Going slowly
down backward. | lie at full length on
the bottom of the tank and blow smoke
through the cut end of the cigar. Just
as l reach the surface again another
Tip reverses the cigar. and there | am
smoking calmly. The reversing IS done
50 quickly that nobody notices it.
