great precision under the water by

Circllng his waist he raised him
easily to the surface and held him
there with one arm and then made
rapidly for the animated first one,
who was bobbing up and down and
only held up by an occasionally
correct paving motion.
This one was also grasped firmly
around the waist, and now the
third one held them both up, while
he went on treading water with his

But how was he to get them out
