These are lines from the autobiography of William O Douglas, 'Of Men and Mountains.

  • In his childhood, William was nearly drowned in water.
  • Since then he had a phobia of deep water.
  • It was further intensified when he joined swimming classes.
  • One of his friends pushed him into the YMCA swimming pool.
  • The pool was 9 feet deep.
  • He planned to escape by jumping from the bottom using all the strength he had.
  • But his attempt was futile.
  • Because he could move up very slowly.
  • He tried to yell and scream for help, but the sound didn't come out of his mouth.
  • His legs were paralyzed.
  • Again he went to the bottom of the pool.
  • In the end, he was saved but it left a terror in his heart.
