SOLUTION.

An Accidental Cycle II.

3. When Bathing.

Should a great wave of the sea

Wash you away from the sands,

At the back of your head clasp your hands,

Remaining as still as may be:

You may then with serenity float

Until some one arrives with a boat.

4. Earthquakes.

If you should hear an earthquake’s boom,

And see great tumult in your room,

Fly to the door and open wide,

And stand beneath, whate’er betide:

For, though the house be badly rent,

You there may safely rest content.
