(a) When war devastated the land, buildings crumbled to dust.

We traveled far, far east to another country, where summers were hot
and winters were cold, to a city of houses made of clay, straw, and camel

We lived in a small room with a couple we did not know. We slept on
a dirt floor. I had no toys and no books. Worst of all: food was scarce.

One day, Father went to the bazaar to buy bread. As evening
approached, he hadn't returned. Mother and I were worried and hungry.

to bed hungry, while the couple we lived with ate their meager supper.
The husband was a writer. He wrote in silence, but, oh! how loudly he
chewed. He chewed a small crust of bread with such enthusiasm, as if it
were the most delicious morsel in the world. I envied him his bread and
wished I were the one chewing it. I covered my head with my blanket so
I would not hear him smacking his lips with such noisy delight.
The next day, Father hung the map. It took up an entire wall. Our

Our chambers were always full of chemicals and of criminal relics
which had a way of wandering into unlikely positions, and of turning up in
the butter-dish or in even less desirable places. But his papers were my
great crux. (b) He had a horror of destroying documents, especially those
which were connected with his past cases, and yet it was only once in
every year or two that he would muster energy to docket and arrange them;
for, as I have mentioned somewhere in these incoherent memoirs, the
outbursts of passionate energy when he perfonned the remarkable feats
with which his name is associated were followed by reactions of lethargy
during which he would lie about with his violin and his books, hardly
moving save from the sofa to the table. Thus month after month his
papers accumulated until every corner of the room was stacked with
bundles of manuscript Which were on no account to be burned, and which
could not be put away save by their owner. One winter's night, as we sat
together by the fire, I ventured to suggest to him that, as he had finished
pasting extracts into his commonplace book, he might employ the next two
hours in making our room a little more habitable. He could not deny the
justice of my request, so with a rather rueful faoe he went off to his bedroom,
from which he returned presently pulling a large tin box behind him. This
he placed in the middle of the floor, and, squatting down upon a stool in
front of it, he threw back the lid. I could see that it was already a third full
of bundles of paper tied up with red tape into separate packages.

"You won't be over that soon," said Watts with a strained look on his face. He thought for
a moment and almost automatically began to speak. "This dive has been planned for months.
I need someone to go down with me now." Then he looked directly at Grace. "Do you want to
take Mark's seat on the dive? All interns are cleared to dive in the sub, should we need them."

Could she be hearing correctly? Did the chief oceanographer at Forest Hole Research

"I'm sure you understand that we can't hold uP this dive," he said apologetically to Mark,
who appeared too queasy at the moment to even care.

"It's the red one to the upper right. But don't even touch it unless I tell you to. The crew

Grace could hear a winch engine whine through the thick steel and acrylic. Abruptly, the
deep-sea rover was jerked into the air. It seemed to descend straight toward the water, dip
into it for a moment, and then pop back out as the ship's roll took it up, and then submerged
it entirely. After a neck-snapping jolt, she sensed a physical sinking feeling.

Grace was trembling, but she had signed on for this internship and hoped one day to
be an oceanographer herself. It would be great experience, and she had faith in Watts'
reputation, although his deme!lJlOr was sometimes gruff. Without responding, she put on the
required gear, climbed into the sub, and began almost immediately to have second thoughts.
There was no proper interior in the submersible; she was seated in something a bit bigger
than a large garbage can, but one made of thick, shiny steel. There was no space to move
around. Watts was in a second can, welded to the sub, with no connection to hers. Her head
and shoulders stuck out and she could hear the Resolute's crew talking as they went through
the pre-dive procedure.
"Closing up now," a deckhand said. A massive acrylic dome, inches thick, swung down
from behind and sealed her off from the outside world. Suddenly, it was perfectly quiet; she
could see the crew, but she couldn't hear them. She felt trapped.
