Swimming "Agony" Feared.
Investigations have been made by a
life-saving society asto why deep sea
fishermen were not taught to swim.
It was stated at an inquest at Grimsby,
England, recently, that not one -fisher-
man in twenty could swim, and in
quiry at all the fishing ports of Eng-
land and Scotland revealed the as-
tonishing fact that a similar percent
age'of non -swimmers existed.. -
The belief among fishermen of all
parts is that those who know how to
swim -' only prolonged the agony of.
