struck bottom, apparently not over
500 feet away; and what was equally

below.
We were terror2ed--w were so
weak we could not speak for some
seconds-but managed tosignal, "Let
us investigate"
We soon gained strength enough to
speak in whisper. We held a con-
sultation and agreed to go on down
at all hazards, and signaled accord,

in ourselves we got Drawer, and now
we began to watch for the bottom,
for there we intended to go if the
wire held out.
Presently we signaled stop. We
knew we were near the bottom, for
we could hear the gentle ripple of
running water. Then we signaled to
let us down slowly. When we were
within twenty feet Of the bottom we
signaled, "Stop quick, we have found
bottom" but this was not why we
wished to stop SO quickly.
Not forty feet away we had discov-
cred two shining eyes.
We sat aghast, neither saying a
word. All at once the eyes seemed
to be coming toward us. We waited
and watched, and presently the fig.
ure of man was plainly visible.

Though everything is not right
and perfect in the world, we cannot
help thinking that if we took half
the pleasure in seeking out good
things, that we do in search of evil,
we should find ourselves better men
and discover much hidden treasure
which we tread daily under foot.
