years before, he had landed IN
America to recover his stolen lands,
dropped from his mind He felt the
dawning of that peace which he had
crayed, at last. He set his face reso-
Iutely toward the old world and free
dom-freedom both from that inces-
SAINT pursuit which had been hound
ing him by night and by day and
from the passions In his own heart
Although the maps had taught him
the approximate site of the cable. il
was no slight task TO discover 1t be-
meath that wilderness Of waters on
whose breast his water-logged craft
tossed like a cork on a pool. His
graphing iron hung from the center
of the boat, through an aperture re-
sembIing that made tor a centerbos-d.
Once he had caught the cable, a turn
of the disconnected gyroscope would
drag 1t up and catch the loop of II
against the steel guard which was to
hold 1t in place until Haynes was
ready to dive down into the depths
below. At nightfalI he began his
search, but 1t was bright morning be
fore his iron fastened upon the stout
coil, and only the pull Of the gyro-
scope suficed to drag that monstrous
serpent, green with marine growths,
from its resting place through fathoms
OF waters. When at last he had se-
cured It to the wheel he crept into his
cage, fastening it from the inside. He
donned his divers dress and oxygen
helmet, touched the stop Of the gyro-
scope and, with whirl, the waters
rose and covered him. The boat
dragged down at first, rose when her
plunging freight parted from her, and
fioated, bottom up, and empty, upon
the bay.
The gyroscope had caught the cable
true. The submarine car rolled, struck
her nose into the mud, and tried to
stay there, but the wheel held-it
could not choose but hold when the
top drove onward--and he was away
under the sea, travelling upon the line
stretched out upon that Shiny bed
formed by the glow death Of millions
Of marine organisms Haynes
breathed comfortably enough, al
though his eardrums rang. He looked
out through the tiny window. Slowly
the light faded, the green Translucent
cy of the water surrounded him; then
that too disappeared and black, Inn
penetrable night enshrouded him, as
black as that primeval night before
the red globe of the sun rose like a
monstrous furnace for the first time
over the rim OF the world He could
hear nothing; but, even If the vessel
had not been sound-proof, he could
have heard nothing, for there was no
sound In those depths. Soon he was
approaching the region where the con,
tinental shelf OF land slopes into the
incidentally deep abyss. Now lumi
nous patches flashed and fitted past
him. Huge globes Of fire followed
and watched him through the window
These were the great. luminous eyes
of deep-sea monsters, carrying theil
own lamps, with which to hunt theiI
prey, chasing them In world Of per
petual darkness. The pressure on his
ears increased. He felt the oxygen
bag. 1t was still full and the fioV
was not interrupted. Yet an uncon
trollable desire for sleep crept oyei
him, and the chill Of the surrounding
waters communicated itself to hi
tired limbs and deprived them of sen
sation. He would sleep till the jour
ney was ended; he settled himself FOL
rest; his eyes closed.
