What is the "Misadventure" that William Douglas Speaks About? - Deep Water

What is the "misadventure" that William Douglas speaks about?




The 'misadventure' is the occurrence wherein the author at ten years old or eleven was gotten and tossed into the pool of Y.M.C.A. by a bruiser. The author didn't have the foggiest idea how to swim and was going to suffocate.

At ten years old or eleven William O. Douglas chose to learn and swim at the Y. M.C. A. pool since it was just a few feet deep at the shallow end. He had a repugnance for the water yet he felt agreeable when he rowed with his new water wings in the water. One day he went to the pool when nobody else was there. He was trusting that others will come. Then, at that point there came a major bruiser of a kid and hollered; "Howdy, thin! How'd you like to be dodged ?" With that he picked Douglas and threw him into the profound end. He arrived in a sitting position, gulped water and went on the double to the base. He dreaded to be suffocated. This misfortune raised a last of ruckus to Douglas
