...that he knew how to swim. The crew rowed down to the basin, and Shaw, after rowing about for some time in front of the boat house, followed them. It was just below the Western Avenue bridge that the accident happened. Whether the shell struck on a sunken pile and capsized, dragging Shaw under by the toe straps, or whether Shaw, finding the boat tipping, jumped, and owing to his heated condition was seized with the cramp, it is hardly possible to say. The latter conjecture is perhaps more probable as the boat was found right side up with...
