abstract="If death by drowning be inevita ble, as in a shipwreck, the easiest way to die would be to suck water into the lungs by a powerful inspiration, as soon as one went be neath the surface. A person who had the courage to do this would probably become almost immediately unconscious, and never rise to the surface. As soon as the fluid filled his lungs, all feelings of chilliness and pain would cease, the indescribable semi-delirium that accompanies anaesthesia would come on, with ringing in the ears and delightful visions of color and light, while he would seem to himself to be gently sinking to rest on the softest of beds and with the most delightful of dreams.-- Popular Monthly for May.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
