This installment is a description of a sketch by Terri Skiles. I wish I had the capabilty to scan this in, but I don't. I am sure I will not do it justice, but I think you will get the idea. The sketch, beautifully drawn with great attention to detail, shows a diver on an Aquazepp scooter traveling through a cave. He is wearing a buttmounted square light, helmet mounted H1 light head, breathing what appears to be a Cyclon. Below the 'zepp is the previously discussed tank rank sled with Y valves clearly visible at both ends. Spare lights and reels are attached to the sled. From the bottom of the sled, a bouquet of at least nine tanks in four bunches dangle from a rope. The last "bunch," consisting of but a single tank, is shown to be dragging on the floor and is complete with little puffs of silt being thrown up behind it. Appearantly this sight made a significant impact on the author as it is featured not once, but twice in the book, once on page 111 and again on page 161. Stone, W.
