Fig. 61. {upper) We are now at the wharf where the bathysphere, winches and miles of 

 cable have lain in their housing for a year and a half. The 3U0U-foot rubber hose, enclosing 

 the telephone and electric light wires, is just coming aboard. Fig. 62. {lower) We see the 

 bathysphere on the deck of the Freedom, and the enormous yard, brought especially from 

 last year's boat. The low bulwarks and wide expanse of deck make this craft ideal for our 

 work. But she proves to be anything but sea-worthy.
