In
comparing
the
cone
to
a
submerged
bell
,
he
was
right
.
Only
in
that
apparatus
the
air
is
constantly
renewed
by
means
of
pumps
.
The
divers
breathe
comfortably
,
and
they
suffer
no
other
inconveniences
than
those
resulting
from
a
prolonged
sojourn
in
a
compressed
atmosphere
,
no
longer
at
a
normal
pressure
.
But
here
,
beside
those
inconveniences
,
space
was
already
reduced
a
third
by
the
invasion
of
the
water
.
As
to
the
air
,
it
would
only
be
renewed
if
they
put
it
in
communication
with
the
outer
atmosphere
by
means
of
a
hole
.
Could
they
,
without
running
the
danger
spoken
of
by
Dick
Sand
,
pierce
that
hole
?
Would
not
the
situation
be
aggravated
by
it
?

What
was
certain
was
,
that
the
water
now
rested
at
a
level
which
only
two
causes
could
make
it
exceed
,
namely
:
if
they
pierced
a
hole
,
and
the
level
of
the
rising
waters
was
higher
outside
,
or
if
the
height
of
this
rising
water
should
still
increase
.
In
either
of
these
cases
,
only
a
narrow
space
would
remain
inside
the
cone
,
where
the
air
,
not
renewed
,
would
be
still
more
compressed
.
But
might
not
the
ant-hill
be
torn
from
the
ground
and
overthrown
by
the
inundation
,
to
the
extreme
danger
of
those
within
it
?
No
,
no
more
than
a
beaver
's
hut
,
so
firmly
did
it
adhere
by
its
base
.
Then
,
the
event
most
to
be
feared
was
the
persistence
of
the
storm
,
and
,
consequently
,
the
increase
of
the
inundation
.
Thirty
feet
of
water
on
the
plain
would
cover
the
cone
with
eighteen
feet
of
water
,
and
bear
on
the
air
within
with
the
pressure
of
an
atmosphere
.

Now
,
after
reflecting
well
upon
it
,
Dick
Sand
was
led
to
fear
that
this
inundation
might
increase
considerably
.
In
fact
,
it
could
not
be
due
solely
to
that
deluge
poured
out
by
the
clouds
.
It
seemed
more
probable
that
a
neighboring
watercourse
,
swelled
by
the
storm
,
had
burst
its
banks
,
and
was
spreading
over
this
plain
lying
below
it
.
What
proof
had
they
that
the
ant-hill
was
not
then
entirely
submerged
,
and
that
it
was
full
time
to
leave
it
by
the
top
part
,
which
would
not
be
difficult
to
demolish
?
Dick
Sand
,
now
extremely
anxious
,
asked
himself
what
he
ought
to
do
.
Must
he
wait
or
suddenly
announce
the
probable
result
of
the
situation
,
after
ascertaining
the
condition
of
things
?
