〃Norman; we have to work together in these last few hours;〃 Beth said。

〃I agree; Beth。 Absolutely。〃

〃How are you feeling now?〃 she said。

〃Okay。 Pretty good; in fact。〃

〃Good;〃 she said。 〃Hang in there; Norman。 Its only a few more hours。〃

She hugged him warmly; but when she released him; he saw in her eyes that same detached; appraising look。

An hour later; they figured out how to release the balloon。 They distantly heard a metallic sizzle as the wire unwound from the outside spool; trailing behind the inflated balloon as it shot toward the surface。 Then there was a long pause。

〃Whats happening?〃 Norman said。

〃Were a thousand feet down;〃 Beth said。 〃It takes a while for the balloon to get to the surface。〃

Then the screen changed; and they got a readout of surface conditions。 Wind was down to fifteen knots。 Waves were ''301'' running six feet。 Barometric pressure was 20。9。 Sunlight was recorded。

〃Good news;〃 Beth said。 〃The surface is okay。〃

Norman was staring at the screen; thinking about the fact that sunlight was recorded。 He had never longed for sunlight before。 It was funny; what you took for granted。 Now the thought of seeing sunlight struck him as unbelievably pleasurable。 He could imagine no greater joy than to see sun and clouds; and blue sky。

〃What are you thinking?〃

〃Im thinking I cant wait to get out of here。〃

〃Me; too;〃 Beth said。 〃But it wont be long now。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

Norman was checking Harry; and he spun at the sound。 〃What is it; Beth?〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Take it easy;〃 Beth said; at the console。 〃Im just figuring out how to work this thing。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Work what?〃

〃The side…scanning sonar。 False…aperture sonar。 I dont know why they call it false…aperture。 Do you know what that refers to; false…aperture?〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃No; I dont;〃 Norman said。 〃Turn it off; please。〃 The sound was unnerving。

〃Its marked FAS; which I think stands for false…aperture sonar; but it also says side… scanning。 Its very confusing。〃

〃Beth; turn it off!〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Sure; of course;〃 Beth said。

〃Why do you want to know how to work that; anyway?〃 Norman said。 He felt irritable; as if shed intentionally annoyed him with that sound。

〃Just in case;〃 Beth said。

〃In case what; for Christs sake? You said yourself that ''302'' Harrys unconscious。 There arent going to be any more attacks。〃

〃Take it easy; Norman;〃 Beth said。 〃I want to be prepared; thats all。〃

He couldnt talk her out of it。 She insisted on going outside and wiring the explosives around the ship。 It was an absolutely fixed idea in her mind。
