unconsciousness and probably
drowning lengthens to 3
hours, making a total of
three hours before death
becomes almost a certainty.

Water temperature 60°

Chances of survival of
this temperature are 10 oper
cent greater than in 50°
water.

Drowning and exposure to
cold water exact a tragic
toll of fishermen every sp-
ring. This can be greatly
reduced if people will obs-
erve the ten commandments of
cold water boating safety to
avoid capsizing and if they
‘will wear adequate clothing
in case an accident does
occur.
