DIVERS AT WORK.
Such are the exigences of modern warfare that neither in the Army nor the Navy does the service of earth or sea suffice for the operations of our soldiers and sailors. While our soldiers survey the enemy's lines, or destroy his works, from their balloons far above the earth, our sailors are constantly compelled to dive into the depths of the element upon which they live. The picture shows a diving party from H.M.S. Excellent at Portsmouth. One diver has just risen to the surface, another is descending. The work is not for a novice to undertake. Trying, and at the outset often painful, it requires an adequate apprenticeship ; and to a strong physique the diver must add a dauntless courage to do his work on the ocean bed.
