They tried to conquer the Arctic even then. Sir John Franklin on the ships Erebus and Terror left the English city of Greenhite in order to find the northern sea route between Europe and Asia.

Bootleggers. USA, 1925

Bootleggers - sellers and suppliers of alcohol during the years of prohibition in the United States. There were 5 times more women among them than men. The fact is that in many states there was a law prohibiting the search of women, which criminal syndicates did not fail to take advantage of. And women came to bootlegging on their own very willingly: with all the danger of the enterprise, earnings could be fantastic.

In the Middle Ages, those convicted of a crime were subjected to ordeal ("God's judgment", or trial by water and fire). In one of the variants of the trial, the convict had to lower his hand into boiling water — if the hand remained unburned, it meant that God protected him, and the person was released.
