Eastern and the Midway and the AL
bany went out TO find il? Thirty times
they sank the grappel two and n half
miles deep in water. After awhile they
found the cable and brought IL To the
surface. No sooner had it been brought
to the surface than they lifted n shout
of eXultation, but the cable slipped
back again into the water and was
