Between Surface and Bottom

Smilingly these brave lads stood at
their posts shouting orders relayed from
compartment to compartment from the
navigating room amidships. Quiveragly
the vessel settled, quietly the two
groups of guests waited for some new
sensation. At Il feet below the sur
face there was a slight jerk, the sub
merging vas stopped and the vessel
hung suspended between the surface
and the muddy bottom of the Missis-
sippi,
f'Don't move from your places was
the command given, Each person had
been ordered on entering the vessel to
keep his position to distribute evenly
the weight to prevent listing. Then
one at 40 time the passengers were al
lowed to take a peek through the peri
scope. The muddy waters slashing all
around, a flash of the decks of the
excursion steamer Princess passing near
and a seconds view of the river front,
apparently about two feet away,
through the telescope lens was flashed
across the mental vision through the
| eye of the ship.
T A point about opposite the foot OF
Beale avenue had been reached.

the order from Commander Berrien.
