Tbe former only curry out at ebb tide; tbe latter uxtiiilly zipiflg nlong the shore. " ' " "If you are a robust swimmer," said a professor of the art, you can gen erally overcome them by quick, alert strokes.

By resting a short time, floating or swimming leisurely, you will have time to take your boar lug and either timke another attempt or call for asslHtance. Sometimes you will find the undertow runs parallel to the shore, Vou may then let yourself be carried along with th certainty that befor long It will twist Inshore, when a short spurt will bring you to gafety " .
