Fig. 71. {upper) Straining at its cable, the bathysphere swings heavily inboard and during 

 a momentary lull between swells, is brought to rest on the landing boards. A glance at the 

 new quartz window shows that a leak has started (see photograph) and that the sphere is 

 filled with water — not from an explosion, but from an implosion. Fig. 72. {lower) For the 

 first time in our work with the bathysphere something has gone wrong. The steel sides are 

 cold, and a low hissing sound can be heard. Those near the bathysphere are Beebe, Tee- Van, 

 Barton, Blagdon, and our favorite deck-hand known as OKay.
