TO RESCUE DROWNING
HOW TO APPROACH A STRUG-
GLING PERSON.
Valuable Wats Which, if Acted
Upon, Slay be the Means
• of Saving Lives.,
The annual advice to those who
go near the water either with or.
without knowing how to swim is
now in order. Some expert, infor-
mation on how to deal with the
drowning is afforded by Recreation,
which cautions' woutd-be saviors
against attempting a rescue fully
r dressed.
• "It takes' but an instant to -re-
move your outer clothing and
shoes," says the writer, "and' this
will more than be made rip by your
being able. to swim faster in. getting
to him and freer earrymg him
ashore. Proceed iiinnediately to
-undress and while so doing think
fast. '
"Of course, my advise to be de-
liberate is not intent -Ted to mein
that you should lose any tirne. I
have known Men to wait after the
person in danger had disappeared
from sight, ',under the impression
that dr -owning person eomes to
the sui:face three times. That tn.,
dition is senseless and has been re-
sponsible for many fatalities.
' "A drowning man 'nay rise a
dozen times or go under once and
never bm e seeagain; there is no
telling. Make up your mind; there-
fore, that ,-wh1n. & head sinks the

end should be lost. If the body is
visible under the water there is no
difficulty in securing it, but if the
water is muddy, more _especially If
a tide or a eurrent is running, use
judginent, for you will need *11 your
faculties to be successful:
'WHERE TO DIVE',
.\
"Take your first dive from pomt
above where the body has last been
seen, or bubbles have indicated its
leeetion, and work down stream.
Thus you will not tire bucking the
current, nor will you miss the body
if it has caught some submerged
astride •'v..hild it it is free you will
soon os.ertalce it by swinning. •
• "On. reaching it, if under water,
try to seize the clothing at the
hack of the neck; in, the absence
of these lift ,by the `armpits, the
chin or the 'hair.. If the bOttont is
rocky or safely, and you are ntarc

arm around his neck. This plates
him in your power, and no matter
how he struggles you will be able
to carry him in safety.
"Another geed way advocated by
water polo players ts to approach
the man boldly, and as soon as he
lifts his arm to clutch you to plant
your open hand squarely under his
armpit, allow yourself to sink, turn-
ing your body outwardly, and then
shoving him over you come to the
surface. If this is done correctly
you will find yourself behind him,
looking at the back of his head,
when it will be an easy matter to
place on him any hold you want.
'Professional life Savers often re-
commend splashing water in the
face of a struggling person on the
• ground that it makes him turn froni
yseu.s, M. ' • een-th
it only increases his terror and ese
eitement.
"Leg holds are the great fear Of
life savers. Let a powerful mon
encircle you with his legs and nine
times out of ten you are a goner.
To he caught either by legs or arm*
from the rear is also generally fas
tal, for back holds are almost im-
posSsible to break. Against these
two dangers yuu should guard care-
fully.
CARTING A VICTIM.
"There are several ways of carry-
ing the victim of a drewning acci-
dent ashore. If he is only exhaust,
ed let him place both hands on your
shoulders and then swim either
the breast or back•stroke.
"If he is unconscious turn him ors
his back and use the back stroke
yourself, sustaining him by placing
Tour arms around him and your
hands on his chest, or seize_hims
under his chin, or held him by thef
clothes at the.. back of the neck, or,
by the heir. A- struggling person
as made beApless. by the first hold

"Upon reaching,terra firma the,
first objeek should be to expel from,
the lungs of the victins any water
that may have been takeii in. :Dc
not stand bine onhis head, as dck\
so many well-meaning but ignorant
people.
"Begin the leoseising • or remove

neck, then if there is anything
round to be hod -like s, barrel or
e log -place him facts down,ort it and
roll it gently back and forth so that
it will press on abdomen and ow- -
