By GORDON THOMAS

He eased open the throttle. At nearly two miles a minute spray swirled crazily behind him.

Donald Campbell, son of British speed king, the late Sir Malcolm, was out to break the world water-speed record.

The speed built up. The boat's snaking and skidding were harder Lo control. They threatened to tip the craft on to its back.

Campbel clamped harder on the bucking steering wheel, not knowing that he was churning the cold, grey water like a giant egg-whisk.
