He sunk and rose no more

A man, who some time ago leaped from London, Blackfriars, and Westminster bridges into the Thames, in three-quarters of an hour, undertook, for a wager, to perform the same exploit again.

Having leaped from London bridge into the water, he sunk and rose no more; when the body was found, it appeared, that having gone down with his arms in a horizontal, instead of a perpendicular position, they were both dislocated by the force of the water.
