Description	Kicking the bucket to keep alive and well! 1914
Details	Interestingly this artical was published on April fools day in 'The Sketch', 1914, you can come to your own conclusions! Latest primitive life-saving device invented by a German engineer, Herr Heinrich. Water-tight canvas suit with mitten gloves, with porthole to see and air entering through a tube at the top of the head. Attached to the body are ropes to which two or three people can hold to keep them afloat. Man or woman using this device stands in a bucket which is filled with water and keeps the occupant upright. Sufficient food and drink can be taken aboard to last for a very considerable while; and signals and a revolver can be carried to attract help.
