1401.
continued...
"The
legs
and
arms
are
specifically
lighter
than
salt
water,
and
will
be
supported
by
it,
so
that
a
human
body
cannot
sink
in
salt
water,
though
the
lungs
were
filled
as
above,
but
from
the
greater
specific
gravity
of
the
head.
Therefore
a
person
throwing
himself
on
his
back
in
salt
water,
and
extending
his
arms,
may
easily
lie
so
as
to
keep
his
mouth
and
nostrils
free
for
breathing;
and,
by
a
slight
motion
of
his
hand,
may
prevent
turning,
if
he
should
perceive
any
tendency
to
it.
1402.
continued...
"In
fresh
water
if
a
man
throw
himself
on
his
back
near
the
surface,
he
cannot
long
continue
in
that
situation,
but
by
proper
action
of
his
hands
on
the
water;
if
he
use
no
such
action,
the
legs
and
lower
part
of
the
body
will
gradually
sink
till
he
come
into
an
upright
position,
in
which
he
will
continue
suspended,
the
hollow
of
his
breast
keeping
the
head
uppermost.
1403.
continued...
"But
if
in
this
erect
position
the
head
be
kept
upright
above
the
shoulders,
as
when
we
stand
on
the
ground,
the
immersion
will,
by
the
weight
of
that
part
of
the
head
that
is
out
of
the
water,
reach
above
the
mouth
and
nostrils,
perhaps
a
little
above
the
eyes,
so
that
a
man
cannot
long
remain
suspended
in
water
with
his
head
in
that
position.
1404.
continued...
"The
body
continuing
suspended
as
before,
and
upright,
if
the
head
be
leaned
quite
back,
so
that
the
face
look
upward,
all
the
back
part
of
the
head
being
under
water,
and
its
weight
consequently
in
a
great
measure
supported
by
it,
the
face
will
remain
above
water
quite
free
for
breathing,
will
rise
an
inch
higher
every
inspiration,
and
sink
as
much
every
expiration,
but
never
so
low
as
that
the
water
may
come
over
the
mouth.
