Speaker 8: I've heard of you. You've done some great diving.
Speaker 2: It's a sunken pig boat off the Olympic Peninsula, S
Speaker 2: Type four men trapped alive in a forward compartment.
Speaker 11: I wonder why Bompson Lung should get them out. Even
Speaker 11: out of the old s boats. I don't know about
Speaker 11: submarines danser that one. But the Admiral seems to think
Speaker 11: you do.
Speaker 9: Admiral who Staley, It couldn't be stayed pretty sure, that's
Speaker 9: what it was.
Speaker 8: That's right, mister.
Speaker 2: You don't know how right it is. You know, it's
Speaker 2: that I haven't heard of you before, Wilson. Salvage work
Speaker 2: is my business. I thought I knew all the good diveries.
Speaker 11: I haven't on the beach anyway. I was never a
Speaker 11: civilian diver. Maybe yeah, even then, I wasn't known as
Speaker 11: a diver.
Speaker 8: That was more of a sideline. Been down very deep plenty.
Speaker 8: You don't have to worry about me.
Speaker 2: What's a former navy man doing on the beach these days?
Speaker 8: That's my business.
Speaker 11: You concentrating those guys breeding their guts out, and that
Speaker 11: wreck's up.
Speaker 10: Get ready for landing at Seattle below.
Speaker 2: We're there to the left the store that'll take you
Speaker 2: out to the scene of the wreck.
Speaker 8: Motorcyclelass coat is waiting at the field.
Speaker 9: They'll have you at the dark.
Speaker 2: In ten minutes, Old fast, what morana, John Wilson, at
Speaker 2: your service, Lieutenant Adam most Haley's waiting for you aboard.
Speaker 10: Chip follow me please.
Speaker 8: A long time since I've been on one of these
Speaker 8: tin cans.
Speaker 3: Is that right.
Speaker 10: At most Failey? The two divers, sir.
Speaker 2: Good morning, mister Moran, The morning's in. Mister Wilson, good heavierboard.
Speaker 8: Can't say I feel good being him?
Speaker 2: Then why did you come?
Speaker 8: I'll tell they're four men alive. They're important in or
Speaker 8: out of the navy.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, mister Allen. You've orders to get on
Speaker 2: the way, Yes, sir. The sub was ran yesterday afternoon
Speaker 2: a short distance from Port Angele's. We don't know exactly
Speaker 2: how it happened, except that it must have been running
Speaker 2: submerged coming into Puget Sound. A Coastguard cutter sliced across
Speaker 2: the just forward of the conning tower. The sub went
Speaker 2: down immediately. Did you get anyone off? Six men out
Speaker 2: of the rear compartments using moms and lungs, but they
Speaker 2: couldn't throw any light in the accident. None of them
Speaker 2: had been in the control room for some time preceding
Speaker 2: the collision. There's till four men forward alive for the
Speaker 2: time being.
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: A destroyer standing by over the sub and has been
Speaker 2: in touch with the trappedman through its sonic apparatus. One
Speaker 2: of the four is Lieutenant Commander Bell, a sub skipper.
Speaker 2: I can't understand why the skipper should have been forward.
Speaker 9: Seems to be the same old trouble he didn't understand
Speaker 9: before either.
Speaker 8: I've got to get those.
Speaker 2: Men out naturally, and of course our first thought is
Speaker 2: for them. But there's another matter of great importance. The
Speaker 2: sub was carrying confidential papers fleet. Those papers are needed
Speaker 2: in Washington. They must be retrieved. Wilson, you'd probably know
Speaker 2: where to find them. You you are well acquainted with
Speaker 2: the interior of the s type.
Speaker 11: Look, I'll help free them in I know what they're
Speaker 11: up against, but don't expect me to help with anything else.
Speaker 2: You're not in the navy. I can't order you, but
Speaker 2: i'd hoped. I'd stop hoping, sir. I'd leave you and
Speaker 2: Mirane to go over the charts. There's coffee and sandwiches
Speaker 2: on the table. If you want anything, just let me know.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.
Speaker 8: I am him.
Speaker 11: I'll get this chart as where the sub went down.
Speaker 11: She's not about one hundred and forty.
Speaker 8: Four feet of water.
Speaker 2: It's about as deep as a diver can go and
Speaker 2: expect to get results. Pressure should be about sixty tons.
Speaker 11: You see where she's lying the very edge of an
Speaker 11: underwater wreath. She slips off that she will be in
Speaker 11: at least thirty five fathoms too deep for any.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going after look at the diving equipment coming.
Speaker 9: I think I'll stay here. You will find Lieutenant Allen
Speaker 9: just outside the door. He plays nurse made to the
Speaker 9: app row. He'll show you around.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks a Lieutenant Allen. Yes, sir, I'd like to
Speaker 2: see the diving equipment.
Speaker 10: Follow me, but watch your step. It's freezing over.
Speaker 2: It's getting pretty rough. Doubt if we're going to be
Speaker 2: able to do any diving in this blow if I
Speaker 2: told your man, and we'll do our best.
Speaker 9: And by the way, how long has Wilson been out.
Speaker 2: Of the Navy?
Speaker 10: Oh, about two years, maybe a little more.
Speaker 2: I suppose he was in the submarine service. I thought
Speaker 2: he was working with you, for he is, But I
Speaker 2: just met him last night.
Speaker 9: Oh, I see, Wilson is one of the best skippers
Speaker 9: in the submarine Fleet. Admiral Staley was then in command
Speaker 9: of that fleet. Now he's stationed in this area.
Speaker 2: What happened.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 9: I don't know the whole story, only part of it. Wilson,
Speaker 9: who was in command of the submarine turn out of Boston,
Speaker 9: was ran by an army transport somewhere along the main coast.
Speaker 9: Went down with all the hands. Some miracle, Wilson escaped.
Speaker 9: He was the only one, and ordinarily there would have
Speaker 9: been the usual inquiry, but Staley ordered a court martial.
Speaker 9: Wilson was found guilty of negligence and discharged as honorable. No,
Speaker 9: there was some doubt. I sew exactly what had happened.
Speaker 9: He was simply discharged as unfit.
Speaker 10: That's all I know.
Speaker 4: You're not too bad.
Speaker 2: Well, here come Wilson, Admiral Staley. Let's go over the
Speaker 2: diving equipment and agree on the signals to be used.
Speaker 9: All right, sir, Everything ready, Miss Allen, Yes, sir everything.
Speaker 2: Are they still receiving messages from the Trappman, Admiral, Yes,
Speaker 2: they're still alive. There in the Ford compartments fouled and
Speaker 2: getting worse. They're in a bad way. I hope I
Speaker 2: can make it, sir. It's one of the worst gales
Speaker 2: I've seen. How Wilson, what do you think that's your life?
Speaker 3: Too.
Speaker 9: I'll said, that's where you get it. Okay, suits me too,
Speaker 9: Let's get ready.
Speaker 10: There are four suits, a heavy woolen underwear for each
Speaker 10: of you.
Speaker 9: Got enough socks, lieutenant, There's so many pairs you can
Speaker 9: get on your feet. I've checked the diving suits and gloves.
Speaker 9: There are eighty pound let belts and thirty pound let shoes.
Speaker 9: The two way telephone equipment is the best.
Speaker 10: In the navy.
Speaker 2: We're good, I needed.
Speaker 11: Okay, let's get into these monkey suits.
Speaker 10: I thinks day's ready, Freddy Wilson.
Speaker 8: Ready.
Speaker 2: You know there's no decompression tank on board, just in case. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, I get what easier sending. We get the
Speaker 2: bends out here. There's no tank to save us.

Speaker 2: Maren Wilson, Good morning, sir. Did you rest well? Men
Speaker 2: did a fine job yesterday. I appreciate it. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Sir Wilson. Would you mind explaining once more how you
Speaker 2: lost the turn?
Speaker 8: Thought we went over that two years ago.
Speaker 2: I'd like to hear it again if you don't mind.
Speaker 9: Okay, You're running at periscope depth off the coast of Maine.
Speaker 8: The weather was bad.
Speaker 9: I saw the Army transport a few miles off, crossing
Speaker 9: our course. I started planning for the surface, but at
Speaker 9: that moment we struck something and smashed the periscopes. We're
Speaker 9: blind then, so I ordered the court changed but evidently
Speaker 9: the transport changed course as well. So we planed for
Speaker 9: the surface, smack under it and collided a sub broken two.
Speaker 8: I found myself on the surface. I was the only survivor.
Speaker 2: Yes, so you told it before the coincidence of damaging
Speaker 2: your periscopes at that instant, it's almost too great to believe.
Speaker 9: And you didn't believe it. You recommend a court martial.
Speaker 2: Facts then at my disposal, it was the only way
Speaker 2: open to me. Yeah, the Navy way, Wilson. Would you
Speaker 2: dive again for those papers on the sub?
Speaker 8: Not on your life?
Speaker 2: The sub shifter during the night, the wrapping line went
Speaker 2: out another three or four fathoms. I'd ask Moran to make,
Speaker 2: but he's not familiar with the sub. With the added
Speaker 2: four fathoms, who water to contend me?
Speaker 9: If I refuse, you'll put it up to Moran, and
Speaker 9: I'd have no choice. So I'll get your lousy papers.
Speaker 2: If they weren't important. You can be sure I wouldn't
Speaker 2: ask the favor of you, even for the navy.
Speaker 8: All right, all right? Where are they?
Speaker 2: The papers are locked in a small steel trunk in
Speaker 2: the radio operator's cabin.
Speaker 8: I don't know where it is.
Speaker 9: I'm ready to go down at noon, and now, if
Speaker 9: you don't mind, I'll get some more sleep.
Speaker 8: Saints running standing quarts all.
Speaker 2: Over away, Wilson. Can you hear me over the phones?

Speaker 4: Run out to sea again. I'm following. Let's die.
Speaker 2: Have another dive already in case we made help outside
Speaker 2: sab Wilson's lines disappear.
Speaker 4: Overhead, So I think I know what's happening. Yeah, there.
Speaker 2: He is about ten feet above the sub spread eagle
Speaker 2: in the water just reached him, leading off the pressure
Speaker 2: for the exhaust part and his helmet. He's almost unconscious.
Speaker 2: When Wilson left the sub he didn't know his lines
Speaker 2: were found, got too much air, wollomed out his suit
Speaker 2: so that he couldn't bend his arms, and.
Speaker 4: Another Feudenkins his body would have been smashed to.
Speaker 2: A pompa jammed up in his helmet. I'm talking.
Speaker 4: He came from falling.
Speaker 2: It's a terrible thing to see a man's eyes blinded
Speaker 2: with creeping death. But he's coming out of it now.
Speaker 4: He just managed to weak smile.
Speaker 2: Pressure is lessening. Aready standing slowly back toward the submarine.
Speaker 2: Wilson's able to bend his arms now he'll be able
Speaker 2: to stand in a second.
Speaker 4: Okay, the top side. He's on his feet.

Speaker 2: I free the fall lines in the summer, we'll come
Speaker 2: in slowly. What did he compressing to do on the way.
Speaker 4: Don't look for us for about three hours. Stand by

Speaker 2: those papers, especially in a few of your last connection
Speaker 2: with the Navy.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 2: Still it The seb you were working on for me
Speaker 2: was sunk in almost the identical manner you testified your
Speaker 2: ship was lost. Lieutenant Commander Bell was entering the harbor
Speaker 2: at periscope depth to escape the wave action of the
Speaker 2: storm plotsham of some sort fouled his periscopes, was traveling
Speaker 2: blind in the collision occurred. The crash propelled him forward
Speaker 2: and saved his life. You stated your periscopes were damaged,
Speaker 2: that you were thrown clear hard coincidence.
Speaker 8: Isn't it very odd? But anything can happen in the navy.
Speaker 2: I have a telegram here. I'd like to read it
Speaker 2: in part, the most important part reinstatement. Granted you know
Speaker 2: what that means.
Speaker 8: Yes, but I don't understand.
