through the span, ne struck the water
feet foremost, and sank out Of sight
When he came to the surface his feet
were resting on a sand bar at that point.
and the water was not over his head
He again threw himself into the river,
and came up again a short distance away
When ne arose the second time, he was
still on the sand bar. and the water was
oniv q trfIe above his waist.
