Charlie Stephen. He" was also
from Bristol. He was the third
man who had tried it, .but he
had asked for trouble from the
start. He hadn't even soaked his
barrel, and it leaked like a sieve.
We all told him he was commit-
ting suicide.
Two of the• watches had lum-
inous dials, but I couldn't make
out either of them. Finally I
concluded that somehow or other
the boats had missed me and I
had drifted into the 1whirlpool a
couple of miles loWer down:
I told myself that even that
• wouldn't be too bad, 'for I had
examined it carefully and de-
cided that it had very little suck.
A kid of eighteen swam through
it a little while ago.
What, puzzled/ me was that the
roar of the falls,• kept rising and
falling With an' almost regular
beat. I pulled both• plugs Out of
my ears and became completely
confused by the noise.

drifting backwards 'and forwards

but it still would not work, and
for quite a time I fumbled about

on a loose wire, I tried to relax.
Unexpectedly the noise died
away, and almost immediately I
heard a scraping on the Outside.
It was as if someone were tying
a rope on to the ball.
I unfastened the manhole from
the inside, but kept my hand on
the bolts. Fora few minutes I
was jerked about all over, the
place, and then the sunlight
streamed in', dazzling after the
darkness which had gone before.

I had confidence in the, ball,
and I kept thinking of Annie
Taylor and Bobby Leach. ,I'd,
never met Annie. She was the' 1;

racing off in a thoteughly fright-

Although the boy whimpered
when caught, "I didn't mean to
