assistance . . . and here’s another . . . and another. . . . These men seem to be in remarkably good condition despite the tremendous strain they’ve been under. . . .

We may have lost count during the excitement of seeing these men emerge from that bell alive and well, but I think that’s the sixth man to come out of the bell . . . and here . . . here’s the seventh.
Seven men have come out of that big, white, pear-shaped diving bell. We don’t know if they have all been brought out of the sunken submarine or if some of them went down with the bell to control it. But there you are. . . . We’ve seen and have attempted to describe to you the actual rescue of the first seven survivors from the ill-fated submarine Squalus, which is lying at the bottom of the sea in approximately 250 feet of water. Undoubtedly the bell will immediately be sent down again in an attempt to bring up more of the men trapped down there, but it’s a long job, taking at least an hour for the rotmd trip, so we’re going to sign off from this point for the time being, but we’ll be on hand to bring you the eye-witness account of the rescue as the bell comes up again. Keep tuned to this network for further developments. This is Jack Knell, speaking to you through short-wave transmitter WAAU, operating on 2,190 kilocycles. . . . This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
