CHAPTER V
On the bottom the light reflect-
ed from the sand made a cheerful
twilight in which we could walk
around without lights. The long
hull stretched farther than I could
see without twisting my head, and
the wreckage was slippery. My
Job was to tend the lines for Hank
who was worklngwlth an ax, Tom
who was using a saw, and couple
of others who were pulling and
shifting the lumber. Another diver
stood with a submarine light close
to their faces. They all looked
like fantastic sea monsters In their
bloated rubber suits.
After an hour we were pulled
up gradually and put Into the de-
compression chamber. In this
sealed room, filled with air at the
pressure which we had met under
water, we traded stories until we
had gradually expelled the nitro-
gen from our tissues.
Hank was our authority. An
old-timer of at least 35, he had
been at the business so long that
lie had worked under every imag-
inable condition He had deserted
an American freighter In Havana
to Join a small, ill-organised
shabbily financed treasure hunt
for one of the 40 Spanish galleons
that carried $80,000,000 In dou-
bloons to the bottom of Matanzas
Bay
Hank's leaky, filthy, little boat
found the wreck For weeks the
crew searched It. clambering
around tlie docks half burled In1
coral. Their supplies and water
began to run low. weevil* were In
the meal, and the rats were so
bold that a man had to sleep In I
his boots to keep them from tak-
ing a nip at his toes. When the
divers finally worked Into what
had been the strong room, they
found It battered Into a mass of
loosened planks. Someone had
been there before them, far there
was nothing left except a few
green coins caught under overlap-
ping boards
* * *
Hank was always lecturing us op
keeping fit. There were too many
examples around ns of the damage
that the sea could Inflict on divers
Old Man Aarons, the watchman
on the dock, wasn't really old, not
turned 60, but he had been twisted
with rheumatism and deaf since)
he was 25
Others became blind or tubercu-
lar If we got nitrogen bubbles
In our hearts, it was all over In
a few minutes; If we got them In
our brain or spinal cord, we wen;
telaed the diver's palsy.
Pressure was our great enemy,
If our air line fouls and that wall
of air collapses which keeps the
pressure inside our suits greater
than the water pressure. It doesn't
(v uurnu |
take many minutes for the sea to ]
I crush us to Jelly.
Currents are another hasard.
One day I had been down my
allotted time, crawling around on
' my hands and knees and hanging
m.v shoulders over plies of lumber,
trying to use the crowbar.
When the signal came that I
had been down long enough, 1
started up the shot line A few
feet from the bottom, a current ;
grabbed me with such force that
it dragged me 50 or 60 feet south
of the mother ship Getting my
back to the full. I held onto the
shot rope, but the current yanked
me with such violence that I lost
n>V Rflp. There I was. hanging
at an angle of about 20 degrees
and every second being pushed I
farther and farther away. In an-
other second I would be dragged1
out to sea and no one would ever 1
know what had become of me.
Pulling frantically at the life
line, I signaled to be drawn up.
Slowly I began to rise through
the clutching water that tried to
drag me back. About 50 feet
1 higher there was suddenly no cur-
j rent at all As If I had been re-
leased by a giant -spring, 1 swung
in the other direction, then back
and forth like a human pendulum
until the momentum wore out.
When I reached the deck. Bob,
who was ending the life line, had
eyes as big as moons.
You sure did give me a fright.
Charley," he told me when I came
out of the iron doctor. "Your
hubbies were streaking back and
forth us If you were caught in a
shuttle. I thought you had gone
crazy, I surely did."
• • *
But toward the end of the sea-
son 1 was getting tired Ten dol-
lars a day was good money when
you got it, but In foul weather,
when the current was running
so strong that we couldn't even
crawl around the bottom, the com-
pany would not send us down.
As autumn came, work was not
only less steady but more un'om-
fortable. Sometimes we had to
wear four suits of woolen under-
wear, four pairs of homespun
socks and felt boots under our
lead-soled leather shoes. Often,
before we had been down an hour,
our fingers got too numb to work
and our air lines became frosted
It seemed foolish to be engaged
in work at which, even under the
best conditions, you spent 60 per-
cent of your working time resting.
Then, too, If you got in four
months' work a year, you were
lucky. Hank and I figured that
In this climate we averaged about
four months a year, 12 days a
month, subtracting all those days
when the salvage ship must look
for shelter from storms and when
we could not go down because of
fog. tide, winds, and excessive
currents.
However, this diving game was
Just a step for me. I had saved
money, but not enough yet to
start in my own lock business
I thought it was time to look for
steadier work to make my capital
grow faster.
