Jeffersonian Republican. (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853: April 12, 1843 April 12, 1843

Sinking in the water is occasioned by holding the arms above water; the unbuoyed
weight of which depresses the head. When a man falls into deep water, he will rise
to the surface, and continue there if he does not elevate his hands. If he move his
hands under water, in any manner, his head will rise high enough to allow him
liberty lo breathe; and if he moves his legs, as if in the act of walking up stars,
his shoulders will rise above water, so that he may use less exertion with his
hands.
