TY - JOUR PY - 1855// TI - Drowning at sea JO - Hall's journal of health A1 - No Author(s) Listed, SP - e104 EP - e104 VL - 2 IS - 4 N2 - A person who will throw himself on his back in the water, with his hands held clasped in each other at his back, and with his head thrown back so that the nose and mouth may protrude from the water, may float for hours and cannot sink in that position. A common feather pillow tied around under the arms is said to be worth half-a-dozen common India rubber life preservers, while a common mattrass placed on a blanket, a trunk on the inattrass, then both trunk and mattrass tied up in the blanket and all thrown into the water together, will float with the tide for many hours.
