Read the passage carefully and answer question numbers 73 to 76 based on the passage.
Although he was born in a little village near the coast and had gone to school in the nearest seaside town, Mr. Raghavan was not a lover of the sea; even when walking along the sande, he was always afraid of being cut off by the tide. He was not a very good swimmer, so perhaps this accounts for it.
Mr. Raghavan’s family outings were often made to the beach. One day, his children pleaded to go to the beach. So Mr. Raghavan hired a boat and with his two children, rowed out into the bay. All went on well, but while turning back, a strong breeze sprung up and the currents were rather treacherous. Mr. Raghavan rowed hard but it seemed they were making little progress.
