Life and Adventures of Frances Namon Sorcho

Life and Adventures of Frances Namon Sorcho - The Only Woman Deep Sea Diver in the World

To the average individual unacquainted with the art of deep sea diving and the mysteries of the ocean away down beneath its surface, divers are sort of super-human creatures often read about but seldom seen. How they exist in the oceans depths, the queer costume they are compelled to wear, the strange sensations they experience, the wonderful sights they see, the desperate risks they take, and the manner in which they work beneath the water, have, heretofore, all been a sealed volume to the general public. In presenting this little book to our patrons, it is our object to enlighten them on these subjects, and give them some idea, at least, of the life of a diver. Mrs. Sorcho is the only woman deep sea diver in the world, and is the only woman alive to-day who has ever donned a sub-marine armor and descended into the oceans depths to work. The example of intelligent daring is never lost on the world. The mastery of human beings over the material world is evident on every side, but too often are they themselves slaves to lesser things. With skill and courage, with caution and daring, with full knowledge of the danger, but with complete control over herself, this lady has accomplished what no other woman has ever dared to attempt. Fears, what are they? Coward thoughts. See Richard cowering in his tent.[Pg 3] See infants crying in the dark. See here a woman, who has braved the thousand deaths that await the diver; who has calmly, yet courageously, ventured in the oceans depths, with only the fishes and the thousands awaiting the day when the sea shall give up its dead for companions; kept herself in perfect control and invaded the mystic depths as a conqueror, mistress alike of element and herself. Heroism is a medieval thought, daring a classic record. To-day society languishes, passion chills, the spirit of adventure dies, the glory of arms is stilled by peace congresses, and human beings dwindle into a part of simple mechanism. Four-fifths of the dangers of life are as trifles, if met with courage, resolution and common sense. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
