You hear a lot about people drowning drown-ing because they get caught in a strong tide, or in an undertow. If you get in that kind of trouble you're silly.

Nobody can fight the ocean. You don't have to just say, how de do. Mrs. Ocean, and go right along with her. That's the right way, always, when you find the tide too strong to swim against. By swimming know that the water where you are ':l4i ' rtZ.l at,leat eight or ten feet deep, the only safe way is to come ttM':':- down with a splash, feet first and l:JW) shoot out just under the surface. iff When VOU make a tiitrli ,nrt u I St . don't take chances when you don't have to. I'm not afraid the water seems friendly and kind to me and I can swim for miles without feeling tired. But I never swim out more than a hundred yards from shore unless un-less there's somebody nearby in a boat to look out for me in case of an accident. Folks who think they are perfectly well sometimes have fainting spells. They get them while walking on the street, and you might get one while swimming or get something els i the matter with you. It is best to be on the safe side. I never had a cramp in my life I don't know what a cramp is, except from hearing tell of it. But I know what to do if ever I get one, and I'll tell you, just as papa tells me whenever when-ever he thinks of it. You never get cramps in the water that stop your breathing, so you don't have to worrv about keeping afloat. The worst that cramps can do to you is to scare you and start you hollering for help. Hollering for help is very silly, ft t- "ies the breath out of your lungs, Vhere you need it to float with till the cramp lets go. When you begin to , lose your breath you begin to take in l?W "nKiii? mouthfuls of water, and across the current and taking things ' "V?
