and to see In print, In direct contradic.
ton of general opinion and numerous
statements. that I'VE never known a
drowning case VIII re yau couldn talk
a man or woman into being sensible
and ready to take advice. It's all tosh
about their being crazy and grabbing
wildly at one. I've rescued hundreds
and never found one case out of the
number where a few soothing words
wouldn't quiet them down and cause
them to do pretty muth as you say.
This talk about hitting a man in the
face to make him insensible when he's
drowning is foolish. l have never
heard of a first class life saver who
employed any harsh methods at all.
Terrifying accounts appear in the daily
papers from time to time of the des-
perate attempts that certain persons
have made to save some one. And
these descriptions of the terrible bat
ties in the water between the rescued
and the rescuer so work upon the
mind of the average bather that when
he is confronted with an opportunity
to give assistance to a person who
needs a little help he is afraid to go
near him."
Numberless cases are mentioned In
which apparently drowned persons
have been restored to life. One of the
most striking instances was that of
a Miss Cody, who tried to commit sui
eide by jumping into the Ohio river
at Louisville, Ky. A bystander plung-
ed in after her, but was unable to res
cue her. Later the two were picked
up by two men in skiff. BY this
time Miss Cody was apparently dead.
But when the canoe landed at Louis
vile the body was taken in charge by
the life saving crew. The victim had
ceased breathing for some time and
her jaws were rigid. After twenty
minutes resuscitative work she re-
covered slightly and was carried to the
life saving station. On the way she
again ceased breathing, her body be-
came rigid and her jaws set. She was
once more revived and the journey re-
sumed. A third and a fourth time she

Drowning For Copy"

iaSt was taken lO nOSpltal ana re-
covered entirely.
Drowning For Copy"
One Of the most amusing stories of
drowning and resuscitation is that of
a New York reporter for a sensational
paper, who wanted the experience for
a story. She could not swim, but had
plenty of nerve. The life saver ac-
commodatingly accompanied her, with
the inevitable photographer. When a
sufficiently deep place had been reach
ed the young lady jumped Off and had
all the experience for which she had
bargained. The life saver let her go
down the third time, although the
photographer left off taking pictures
to beg and plead that the "angel in
Oilskins" get into action. The "angel"
was very deliberate, however, evident
ly wanting the reporter to get all the
experience there was in it, so that she
could write good story. After she
had disappeared the third time he
saved her as per contract, although
1t required about twenty minutes to
bring her back to consciousness. This
sounds like rather grewsome humor,
but not more so than most of these
realistic yarns Of the "yellow" variety.
The young reporter wrote her story of
how 1t feels to drown, but it is safe to
say she never again took the same risk
in getting copy"
The experience of the life savers
would make many books. Indeed,
they already have made several per-
fectly good reports, and if anybody is
looking for real thrills in a public
document l advise him to write to the
treasury department, Washington, and
ask for a copy of the annual report of
the United States life saving service.
The superintendent of the service is
Sumner l. Kimball, and the senior cap
tain is Frank II. Newcomb, who took
a medal for saving not only several
lives, but for rescuing the Wtnslow
during a particularly hot engagement
in the Spanish-American war. For
that action Captain Newcomb was vot-
ed a congressional medal, the only
one of the kind given during the war.

NATIONAL LIFE SAVING SERVICE

increase In accidents to motor craft.
There were 1888 more such accidents in
1910 than in the preceding year. The
conclusion is that more motor craft
are in use and not that the relative
number of mishaps per vessel is on
the increase. The number of pleasure
boats is going up by leaps and bounds,
just as is the number of automobiles
and, in more literal sense, the num-
ber of aeroplanes. After a few years
we may have life saving service for
airships. 1t is needed badly enough
now, but has not been inaugurated,
perhaps because it is all the aviators
can do to save themselves without try
ing to save each other.

Everyday Heroism.

Returning to the water, the feats
done by the "angels in oilskins" seem
well nigh incredible. Picking up indi-
vidual swimmers or drowning persons,
restoring life when it has seemingly
departed and taking survivors from
wrecks are among the commonplaces
of the trade. Some of the more un-
usual things encountered are told in
the 1910 report. These include going
through breakers in storm, as in the
wreck of the Argo at Tillamook bay,
Oregon, in which some of the life saw
ers lost their own lives. There are
many dangers, such as approaching a
wreck in high sea, being smashed
against the sides of the vessel or

At the Bathing Beaches.

1t is not only in times of wreck and
storm that the life savers find oppor-
tunities to carry on their work of res
cue, however. There is the task of
saving imprudent bathers and of resus-
citating the drowning. James Don
nelly, who for many years has been a
life saver at Manhattan Beach, New
York city, once told a writer for Les
lies Weekly all about this phase of it.
Life saving is not nearly so danger
Gus as it Is generally supposed to be-"
said Donnelly. "At least, like any
thing else, it's not dangerous when you
know how. But life saving has been
dwelt upon and exaggerated by the in
experienced until nowadays the aver
age person is afraid to try, and very
few really understand what measures
should be taken to rescue a person
who has been taken with cramp or is
caught with the tide.

sucked under, beaten up or swamped
by the breakers or frozen in winter
billiards.. On the great lakes a non
sinkable lifeboat is used, but these are
impracticable on the seacoast for the
most part, and surfboat is employed.
When a wreck or a vessel in dis
tress is discovered the first step is
usually to get line to her, which is
done In most cases by firing a ball
across her. To this ball is attached a
light line and to this a heavier line,
which is then pulled on board. If the
sea is too rough to take the passengers
and crew off in boats breeches buoy
is stretched from the crosstrees of the
ship to the beach. The breeches buoy
consists of a strong leather carrier,
through which the legs are thrust, con-
trived in such way that it is impos-
sible to fall out. This is connected with
a pulley, which runs on a large rope
and is controlled by a smaller one.
With high sea 1t is frequently diff
cult to clear the surf with this con-
trivance.
In one case, recounted in the 1910
report, it was found impossible for the
crew, who had been driven to the rig
ging, to catch the line that was shot
from the beach, although the expert
ment was made many times The
storm was too fierce to get it aboard
in any other wag. In another instance
there were an italian captain and crew
who did not understand what was
wanted of them, and as none of the
life savers spoke Italian and as none
of the crew understood English 1t was
impossible TO tell them.
