"My God," said Rutherford, "the cable has broken " In an instant I
was craning over the side of the basket. Five hundred feet, 700
feet, 1000 feet, 2000 feet below us, the cruiser that had been our
only link with the world of man was diminishing so swiftly that, as
far as I remember, she had shrunk to the smallness of a tug and
then vanished into the haze before I even answered him. "Anything
to be done?" I asked. "Nothing," said he. It had been growing
steadily more misty even down near the water, and now as the
released balloon shot up into an altitude of five, ten, and
presently twelve thousand feet, everything in Heaven and earth
disappeared except that white and clammy fog. By a simultaneous
impulse he lit a cigarette and I a pipe, and I remember very
plainly wondering whether he felt any touch of that self-conscious
defiance of fate and deliberate intention to do the coolest thing
possible, which I am free to confess I felt myself. Probably not;
Rutherford was the real Navy and I but a zig-zag ringed R.N.V.R.
amateur. Still, the spirit of the Navy is infectious and I made a
fair attempt to keep his stout heart company.
Joseph Storer Clouston (1870-1944) was an Orcadian author and
