Beneath It, reaching into the bottom
of the lake Is the shaft.
From both ends. fnen are set to work

each other somewhere beneath the
lake. Air chambers are dug out at
dangerous places and pressure of 20

There Is no telephone or telegraph
communication between the crib and

The men working from the crib to.
ward land have no way of notifying
their comrades, who are, working from
