Well, the first example that I can think is when Rainsford is standing on the deck of the yacht at night and he hears a gunshot. Trying to get a clearer look, Rainsford loses his balance and falls into the water. Rainsford doesn't try to swim back to the yacht (which is smart, as it would have been futile). The narrator states that "a certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place". Because he was able to stay calm, he was able to swim to Ship Trap Island.
Later on, after General Zaroff had released Rainsford into the jungle, Rainsford kept telling himself repeatably "I must keep my nerve, I must keep my nerve". One final example is how Rainsford is able to keep calm during the hunt and think of ways to trick Zaroff. "An idea that held a wild chance came to him, and, tightening his belt, he headed away from the swamp".
There aren't any sentences.

Answer:
We put a comma after the subordinate clause.
Explanation:
When a subordinating adverb phrase or clause comes before the main clause of a sentence, the subordinate clause should be followed by a comma to separate the subordinate clause information with the independent's clause information. Here are some examples:
<u><em>After the walk,</em></u><em> we went to the shopping mall </em>(Adverb phrase underlined).
<u><em>In total silence,</em></u><em> she waited </em>(Adverb phrase underlined).
<u><em>Before you leave,</em></u><em> could you please shut the door? </em>(Adverb clause underlined)
<u><em>Since you do not care about the class</em></u><em>, you may leave the room </em>(Adverb clause underlined)
<em>Notice that the difference between adverb phrases and clauses is that clauses always have a subject and a verb while phrases do not.</em>
