A Word of Warning
To Surf Bathers.

The Savannah News publishes the
following timely article with reference
to foOIhardiness in the surf, which
can be read with profit by many resi-
dents Of this city:
At the opening of the surf bathing
season it may be well to utter a word
of warning TO bathers. The laws Of
the state require that there shall be
certain life saving appliances at all
public bathing beaches, but not all
the laws that could be enacted nor all
the appliances that could be provided
would be sufficient to save a foolish
person in the surf from the conse-
quences Of his own folly. 1t is prob
ably safe to say that nine out of every
ten drowning accidents are due to a care
less disregard Of proper pTecaution. The
bather likes to take risks; to swim
out several hundred yards from the
shore; to do smart stunts" in deep
water in order to attract the attention
Of onlookers. The markings for safe
bathing are disregarded by such swim
mers, and when they get into trouble
the chances are against help reaching
them in time. And when such a fool
ISL bather had tempted fate and fal-
len victim to his own daring, there
is much talk about the treacherous-
ness Of the currents and lack of prop
er life saving apparatus, whereas the
fault was wholly with the bather
In its gentle moods the sea is kind
" and a DIP into its brine is highly
beneficial; but even in the gentlest
moods the sea is no plaything. It is
no respecteT Of persons, and those who
defy its laws and its nature do so at
their peril
Surf bathing is entirely safe or al
together dangerous according to the
individual The person who never
goes beyond his depth takes no risk, if
the weather conditions are favorable,
and may enjoy just as delightful a
bath as the person who insists on
getting into deep water and taking
chances against cramps and currents.
Sea bathing is a sport, a pastime and
a delight that should be encouraged.
but every person Of common sense
ought TO labor TO discourage those who
lack that attribute from taking fool
ish risks in the sea-
