record where these pcople-men, women

OF such tales could be told where cod
fishers and seal hunters have escaped
from peril by this simple expediency.
Those aboard the Titanic might just as
easily have done the same.

survived experiences OF this kind for from
three 10 seven daNs. and therefore il is
