Excerpt from "On the Bottom" An Epic of Deep-Sea Diving In writing this book he has unconsciously revealed his own personality. We see him as a man of iron will, calmly facing difficulties that to many with equal technical knowledge would have seemed, and did in fact seem, insuperable, confronting every blow of fate with inflexible courage, remaining cheerful when most of those about him were thoroughly disheartened by successive misfor tunes, and finally, by sheer force of character, snatching victory from the very jaws of defeat. We see him, too, as a born leader of men, one of those rare souls who can inspire others with their own indomitable faith and courage, and spur the faint-hearted on to splendid deeds.
