Her mistress grasping her raw-hide, caused a longer flow of tears, and wounded a spirit that was craving healing mercies. Neath the billows of the ocean, Hidden treasures wait the hand, That again to light shall raise them With the diver's magic wand. THE family, gathered by James' decease, re- turned to their homes. Susan and Charles returned to Baltimore.
Torgul gathered up from the deck the belt and gill-pack Ross had shed in preparation for the fight. He turned the belt around over his forearm until the empty knife sheath was uppermost. One of the crew came forward and slammed back into its proper place the long diver's knife which had been there when Ross was captured. Then the Rover offered belt and gill-pack to Ross. The Terran relaxed.
There has been talk of trying to save the ship; and Captain Wilbur himself, in a diver's suit, has inspected the wreck. Surely, he should know if it is possible to salve her! He says no, and it is reported that the insurance companies are in agreement with him. Lee Fu's voice dropped to a rasping tone. 'The lives, of course, he cannot save.
Loketh came up, his limp making him awkward so that he clutched at the rail for support. In his other hand was one of the hooked swords bared and ready. "Get the murderers!" Someone in the back line of the massing crew yipped that. Ross drew his diver's knife. Shaken at this sudden change in the crew's attitude, he was warily on the defensive.
Then Tom, under the directions of two divers, put on a diver's suit and went down himself, for the first time in his life. After some two hours, with frequent ascents to the surface, the young chief engineer had satisfied himself that the foundations were secure. Then he did some rapid figuring.
Their heads and faces were covered with a white mask of cotton wool like a diver's helmet, three small holes in each white mask for mouth and eyes. They were the men whose faces had been burned by fire at Antwerp. "Come away," she said. But he still stood, fascinated, hypnotised by the white masks. "If I were to stick there, doing nothing, looking at the wounded, I should go off my head."
"You sure have!" Tom bounced off his stool and began pacing about. "Now, take porpoises. They utter all sorts of sounds grunts, squeals, jawclaps and one particularly characteristic sound, like the grating of a rusty hinge." Chow scratched his chin uncertainly. "Wal, what about it?" "Suppose I used that rusty-hinge noise to mask the diver's noise." Tom turned and stabbed the air with his finger.
"Are we not to put on our diver's dresses?" asked I. "Not yet. I have not allowed the Nautilus to come too near this coast, and we are some distance from the Manaar Bank; but the boat is ready, and will take us to the exact point of disembarking, which will save us a long way. It carries our diving apparatus, which we will put on when we begin our submarine journey."
"When the first doctor said there was no chance, even with an operation, for Benny's recovery, I was discouraged. But when the diver's physician talked to me I had more hope, and I got him to engage the specialist for Benny. He took charge of all the arrangements, and now the good news comes. Benny will recover and can again be the tank actor." Jim Tracy scratched his head.
It was grey, harsh, easterly weather, the swell ran pretty high, and out in the open there were "skipper's daughters," when I found myself at last on the diver's platform, twenty pounds of lead upon each foot and my whole person swollen with ply and ply of woollen underclothing.
