Maybe back in 1900, compared to dying from pneumonia, tuberculosis,
untreatable heart disease, untreatable cancer, a work accident (land-
lubber's work), or cirrhosis of the liver, drowning at work in the
Atlantic, on a gamble, didn't seem like the worst fate of all. But
today, it's just stew ped, as you say.
