On the first ships tо the NewWоrld, three оf its 102 pаssengers were pregnаnt. The fаtes of the three pregnant women and their children illustrate the fears that early American women facing childbirth must have held for themselves as well as for their children's survival. One of the passengers, Elizabeth Hopkins, gave birth at sea to a baby boy she named Oceanus. Oceanus Hopkins died during the Pilgrims' first winter in Plymouth. Two weeks after Oceanus's birth, Mayflower passenger Susanna White bore her son, Peregrine, who lived into his eighties. The spring after the Mayflower arrived in Plymouth, passenger Mary Norris Allerton died giving birth to a stillborn baby. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a large percentage of all births resulted in the death of the mother from exhaustion, infection, dehydration (too much water lost from the body), or hemorrhage (heavy bleeding). Since the typical mother gave birth to between five and eight children in her lifetime, her chances of dying in childbirth ran as high as one in eight. Even when the mother survived childbirth, she had reason to be anxious about the fate of her child. In even the healthiest seventeenth-century communities, one in ten children died before the age of 5. Less healthy settlements saw three out of ten children dying in their early years. This passage is made up mainly of

Mоst peоple dislike bаts, аnd surely the mоst feаred of all the species is the dreaded vampire bat. Vampires live up to their horror-story reputation as greedy and efficient stealers of blood. Depending upon its type, the vampire bat may prefer to dine on the blood of mammals (including humans) or birds. The bat begins its meal by circling above its usually sleeping target for several minutes, probably to allow heat-sensitive patches on its face to determine where best to bite. It then inflicts a small wound with its teeth, which are so razor-sharp as to make the incision virtually painless. The wound bleeds freely as long as the bat continues feeding, thanks to a substance in the bat's saliva that prevents clotting. As many as half a dozen of the bat's fellows may join it to feed from one wound. Vampire bats have such great appetites for blood that they may drink more than their own weight at one feeding, thus making it briefly impossible for them to fly. A single vampire drinks about twenty-five gallons of blood in its lifetime. Although vampire bats are sometimes responsible for the death of humans or animals, those deaths are not due to loss of blood. Rather, the deaths are the result of rabies or other diseases spread by the bats. The primary pattern of organization of the second paragraph is
