Fig. 94. {upper) The greatest depth, 2200 feet, has been reached, and now the bathysphere 

 is on its way up. To save time the rope ties between cable and hose are quickly cut, so there 

 is scarcely a moment's delay at each 100 feet. Fig. 95. {lower) Like some great creature of 

 the sea the dark blue sphere breaks the surface, and is held there until there comes a mo- 

 ment of complete steadiness when it is drawn rapidly up, swung inboard and landed.
