THE SECRET OF THE WRECK
Continued from page sixteen

carefully over tangle of soaked
blankets and cushions. He found the
wheel up forward, and to the right
were sliding door cupboards. In the
first he paved out a cloud of white
paper that floated before the face
plate like snow. He swung the light
inside among the shelves, but found
no box The next door was the same.
The voice inside the helmet said:
you've been down long enough,
Nick. The storms almost here.
You've got to come up - now"
60 UP? Now? Sure, there was a
limit to the time he could stay at
this depth. Now he could say:
There's no box 1t must have been
lost. Maybe down in the five-hun-
dred-foot shelf, or anywhere in
quarter-mile radius" Parker would
never know if he was telling the
truth or not. For as long as he lived,
he could only guess and wonder.
He swung the light around the
cabin. One last look. The light trav-
eled along the port windows, across
the aft bulkhead, the open door with
his lines running through, along the
starboard side. There he found two
more cupboards.
The voice in his helmet said:
Mick, are you ready? Are your
lines clear?"
In the first cupboard he found
two books and an empty bottle. In
the second was the box. He carried
it out of the cabin, over the stern and
onto the oceans floor.
The voice said again, urgently:
you've got to come up, Nick.
Hurry! Did you find the box?"
Nick leaned against the side of the
boat, feeling sick and dizzy. He
shut his eyes, opened them again
and stared DULY into the liquid
blackness. He had lost his sense of
direction, and did not know which
way to 60 for the diving platform
There wasn't time to hunt for it.
He might not remain conscious that
long at this depth. And there was
the storm. Maybe he was going to
die down here.
That would be queer trick.
After dreaming two years Of re-
venge, Dan Parker himself had put
the whip in his hands. He had come
down here cracking that whip over
Parker's head - and now ne was
about to die because of it. He lifted
his free hand heavily before the face
plate. There was no whip. 1t was a
big workingman's hand. The hand
Of man who believed in doing his
job. No job too deep or too tough.
No whip. Just one empty hand and
one holding a square tin box, his
job. 1t ought to mean something.
But the meaning was lost in a thick
ening haze.
He turned the air down, deaden-
ing the roar.
Evening star., 1947-07-06

Can't find the platform. he said.
Pull it up to hundred-and-fifty
and hold it. I'm going to float up to
1t. Once clear bottom, the lines will
swing me directly under the boat,
IN line with the platform. Check me
OFT at twenty-foot jumps"
Laura's voice said: "All right,
Nick. Did you find the box?"
He said: Coming up" and turned
on the air again. He held it open
until the suit inflated and he lifted
off bottom. When Laura's voice
said, Two hundred" he cut the
air and hung there, the current pull
ing against the lines. Two lifts later
he no longer felt the currents pull.
It's gonna work, he thought. Nice
going.
At hundred-and-fifty feet, the
diving platform was waiting and
he climbed aboard, putting the box
between his feet. The platform
pitched with the tossing of the
Moily-O on the surface, and he
grabbed the cables to hold on.
He said: Its all yours. I'm on the
platform. Then he began his strange
underwater acrobatics to hasten the
escape of nitrogen from his blood.
He did knee bends, slid his arms up
and down the cables, anything for
violent exercise. There'd be no de-
compression chamber up there.
HE platform rose in ten-foot lifts,
with long stops between, and he
kept his acrobatics going endlessly.
The platform swayed and pitched
hard now. He thought of the box
between his feet. He was still think
ing of it, strangely undecided. wor-
ried about something he had par
TALLY figured out down below, when
he looked up and saw the outline
of the MoIly-O's bottom.
This's it, he told himself. This's
your last chance to crack the whip.
Kick that box off. Lift your foot
and shove. Let it 60 back to the bot
tom forever. 1t means three thou
sand dollars to you - and your re-
venge - you've waited two long
years. You've earned it. Take it.
But there was something bigger
than a box, or a paper, or revenge.
Something very personal, and this
box held the answer. This box was
important to Dan Parker. In some
inexplainable way, Nick Bryan felt,
it was even more important to him
self. He moved his feet closer, hold
ing it. holding Dan Parker's future,
and some intangible part of himself
secure so they couldn't be washed
away.
He broke the surface and saw the
dark, threatening sky, saw rain
against the face plate, and the angry,
thwarted sea beneath his feet. Then
he was on deck, and Dan Parker and
Laura were removing his helmet,
snatching the metal box.
Evening star., 1947-07-06

Nick watched as Neva and Gra-
ham crowded forward, and Parker
broke the lock with hammer. Then
Nick said to Laura: will you get
my coat, inside the door,"
When Laura handed him the coat,
Parker was rising from the box.

Neva and Graham hung over his
shoulder as he read.
In moment Parker's voice said
excitedly: Here it is. And my in

pany shall 60 to my sister, Laura
Parker"
Neva whirled on Nick, her sharp
face twisted with hate. Nick held
out the envelope with the check.
Il found this on the floor of my room
last night

will get you in with Laura again?
And l thought you were SMART
She snatched the envelope, savagely
ripped it to shreds and stalked off,
with Graham hurrying to keep up,
Laura said: so that's why they
followed Dad yesterday"
why didn't you tell me?"
"You were worried enough, Dad"
Parker looked at the will in his
hand, at Nick, embarrassed.
Nick bent over, unbuckling the
lead shoes. "Our previous agree
ment is out. want diving wages"
Il promised you thousand"
Nick could have explained. 1t was
clear now Whatever his personal
feelings might be, they couldn't
come into the job. That was some
thing separate. When you're hired
for job, it's matter of pride to
do that job to the best of your abil-
ity. He didn't want any other men,
ories nagging at him in the years to
come. He said simply: 'It was job
of diving. I'll take divers wages for
it. Let it 60 at that"
Parker said: Il can tell you some
thin l couldn't have yesterday, be-
cause then l was askin' favor, |
never blacklisted you. I knew by the
next day I'd been fool and tried to
find you. But you'd gone"
Nick fumbled at the shoes buckle,
then said: Help me out of this
HALF an hour later the MoHy-O
was driving back through the heav-
ing seas. Nick was in the galley soak
ing up the warmth, when Laura
came in. He felt uncomfortable be-
fore her. wanting her the way he
did. She closed the door and said:
Dad wants you back"
Nick looked at her. "What about
you?"
II Il do, too, Nick" She put
her back against the closed door as
though bracing herself. "Nick, let's
talk about it now. You ran away
the other time
you made it plain enough"
She shook her head, her eyes sud-
denly bright. "You thought be-
lieved what Dad had said. 1t wasn't
that. l felt badly about Burt. He was
my friend, too. You didn't nave to
tell me you'd tried. IL didn't

He looked at her long moment,
