much air could be in a mans lungs
when they we're crying for air.
About fifty feet, now, he thought. If
he could stay down little longer,
there was a chance. His elbow struck
the side of the steel tank, he tried to
hug it and keep down, and he squeezed
De Maris again.
There was a singing sensation IN his
nose: he knew that it was bleeding.
But not enough to turn the green
translucence of the water so violently
red as it was turning, and not enough
to make him so weak and tired all at
once And now they we're shooting up
ward like two corks, and the threshing
of an arm and two legs, driven by
desperate will alone, could not hold
them down.
The redness grew brighter, and there
was roaring in his ears to go with its
violence. He wondered, vaguely and
without caring great deal, if there
would be bubbles in his blood, large
enough to cause death. The red, roar
ing light changed suddenly to black
ness and quiet Through this, strangely
enough, he could see Allyne's face.
Nothing TO lire for, he thought. She is
gone There was a great deal of pain in
all of his joints. He remembered that
he had to stay down - had to keep
De Maris down. Come up too fast, and
you die. Despite the pain, he threshed
out with his free arm.
Take it easy, Lieutenant a voice
said Take it easy!
His eyes jerked open at this. and
there was Allyne's face again; SO he
closed them and lay quietly for
minute. The pressure was against his
eardrums, showing them in, bring
ing back that full feeling. He could
now hear the roar Of compressed air.

slow-motion prizefght picture, but his
knuckles cracked hard against
De Maris' jaw, and all at once the lad
let 60 his hold and became a frantic
ally struggling, clutching thing full of
the desire to live. Bart shot over an
other blow; De Maris caught at his
arm and blocked it, and now they were
battling around the line and the sailor
had hooked clutching fingers in behind
Bart's Momsen lung.
The mouthpiece was jerked from be-
tween his teeth, and the nose clamp
came free Water choked Bart Forrest
before he could stop the inhalation
that had just started. He grabbed fran
tically at the mouthpiece, but De Maris
was pulling on the bag, and he felt the
strap carry away. Once more a plume
of bubbles streaked toward the sur
face. The men up there would see
those two lungs break water, and
there was diving bell they could
lower. But it would be too late.
Bart's fist doubled again. This time
it snapped the boys dark head back,
and he went limp. The lieutenant let
go the line and began swimming in a
spiral, carrying De Maris with him.
His lungs were bursting as the pres
sure without decreased too swiftly for
the pressure within to equalize itself.
He opened his mouth, and great
rumble of bubbles escaped, and the
fullness that swelled and strained in
side his body lessened. He swan with
powerful strokes of his free arm, and
he squeezed hard with the other, press

forcing another bright trail of bubbles

his eyes. She was really there. In the

"Allyne" he said. The name broke
through a bubble of crimson froth on
his lips.
Don't try to talk, dearp she said.
She was trying to whisper, but you
can't whisper under forty-four pounds

Hog Slaughter Supplies
Expected 10 Be Larger
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics estimated yesterday slaugh-
ter supplies OF hogs in the current
marketing year, which began last
October /, would be at least Is per
cent larger than in the previous
year.
The bureau said this upswing in
hog production reflected abundant
feed supplies and a favorable hog
corn price ratio.
The bureau said present indica-
tions pointed to further marked in
crease in the number of pigs raised
in the fall of this year.
The increase in consumer demand
this year, the bureau said, will not
be sufficient to offset the effect of
increased supplies. Consequently,
it said, hog prices probably will
average lower than the past season,
when the average was about So per
hundred pounds.
