tons. The arms must then be swung
from behind TO the front, and for

feet leave the ground they should be
thrown up behind the level OF the
head, the body being Strengthened out,
and the head placed between the out
stretched arms. These must be kept
at full stretch, with the palms down.

act as 'cut water AS soon as the
diver enters the water the hands
should be turned up, and the body will
at once describe an arc Of circle and
return to the surface.

the water as silently and with as lit

A sudden temptation entered the
Scotchman's mind. Williamson had
cheated him shamelessly; why should
he not trap him, even by false evil

Gridsky was dubious; but in the
