| got into the suit as the boat rowed me
out to the buoy, and when we picked up
the mooring the men screwed on the he'll
met for me and started the air pump. 1t
WASH new experience to me; L d been
diving before in the Clyde to bore holes
into sunken pier with ratchet drill.
l went over the side, took the rope and
lowered myself hand over fist through the
gray water till the leaden soles on my feet
touched ground. The corky feeling was a
bit new again at first, but I soon got over
that, and then, as my air valves were
working all right and | could breathe quite
easily, | set about looking for Cameron.
He was somewhere out of sight, but his
air tube was lying on the mud amongst
the sea shrubs, like thin white eel, and
| followed that easily enough.
1t led me to the Corinth, where she lay
with her decks straight up and down, and
saw it passing away through the watery
blackness down her companion hatch.
There seemed something wrong here.
Where were all the great moving banks of
slime the divers had told us about2 Where
was the filthy ooze which slid back against
the steamer as fast as they dug it away !?
Slime there was in plenty; sank in it knee
deep, in spite of the buoyancy of the suit;
but it was quite manageable, and the
Corinth companion lay far above its mark.
A rope lay against the upright deck be-
side the white air tube | thought a
minute, and then laid hold and swarmed
up. Inside all was dark, but | switched
on light in the electric lamp | had with me-
and the glow lit the place like foggy

The first step landed me on something

was suit of bones, SKINNED clean by the
fishes. Some poor wretch had been
drowned here when the steamer foundered.
Well. of course, | had seen a skeleton be-
fore, but somehow or other those bones
didn't seem to cheer me. There was
something wrong; the yarn the divers had
brought up and the real thing as it lay

something intended to be hid, and was
quite man enough to know that trouble
might very possibly follow.
l stopped where | was, and thought
I'd big mind to 20 back then and report
what [ had seen. felt l should be earn
ing my pay by doing that. But at the
same time liked Cameron; he was fellow
countryman, and more besides, and didn'
want to report him as acting off the square;
SO l stoutened my heart and went on down
below
The white trail of the air tube led me
down the stair to the lowest berth deck,
then along the alleyway right aft, and then
into cabin, with hatch in the floor.
Sitting OH the lid of the hatch was Cam
eron. who turned around when my light
fell upon him. He beckoned me with an
impatient gesture, and slipped down into
the blackness below 1t was clear he did
not recognize me; he took it for granted
that was Storey delayed by some acci-
dent. For a moment | stayed outside
irresolute, and shoal of small fish, at
tracted by the light, brushed past my legs.

When God shall ope the gates Of gold.
The portals of the heavenly fold,
And bid his flock find pastures wide
Upon new earth's green hillside,
What poor strayed sheep shall thither fare,
Black-smirched beneath the sunny air,
To wash away in living springs
The mud and mire of earthly things?
What lonely ewes with eyes forlorn,
With weary feet and feeces torn,
To whose shorn back no wind was stayed,
Nor any rough ways smooth were made;
What happy little lambs shall leap
To those sad ewes and spattered sheep,
With gamesome feet and joyful eyes,
From years of play in Paradise
The wind is chill, the hour is late;
Haste, Thee, dear Lord, undo the gate,
For grim wolf-sorrows prowl and range
These bitter hills of chance and change;
And from the barren wilderness
With homeward face Thy fiocks do press;
sfheir worn bells ring tangled chime
Shepherd, come forth, it's eventime.
