bars to the value of £10,000, and a large number of documents and papers which proved to be con- nected with Lord Kitchener's mis- sion to Russia.
After three days' rest in Strom- ness the divers were bitterly dis- appointed to find, on descending again, that the Hampshire had shifted its position during a storm, and that the openings that they had made under great danger and dificulty were once again blocked beyond human storming.

As they were clear- ing their way to the strong-room as best they could, Whitefield be- gan to feel faint. A sudden storm had severed his connection with the salvage ship. The search- lights went out. The divers found themselves fighting against moving masses of mud, which drove the semi-conscious Whitefield into the interior of the wrecked ship. Costello and Courtney came to his rescue, and succeeded in helping him to the surface, though they woanded themselves seriously in the process. This was enough for everybody and the salvage 'ship re- turned unostentatiously to Ko- nigsberg.
