" With their baggage, valises, trunks, cameras, boxes of undeveloped film, other boxes to hold the exposed reels of sensitive celluloid, and many other things, the moving picture boys and Mr. Alcando went aboard the government tug Nama the next morning.

There was a hissing and gurgling sound, and millions of bubbles began to show on the surface of the limpid fluid in which floated the Nama.

Slowly the Nama rose.

Blake and Joe had taken enough moving pictures of this phase of the Canal, since the next scenes would be but a repetition of the process in the following two locks that would lift the Nama to the level of Gatun Lake.

From that vantage point they watched the opening of the lock gates, which admitted the Nama into the next basin.

"Pull us out!" That seemed one way out of the trouble, for the Nama was being crushed between the Brazilian steamer and the wall.

The Nama, which had been partly lifted up in the air, as a vessel in the Arctic Ocean is lifted when two ice floes begin to squeeze her, now dropped down again, and began settling slowly in the water.

Fortunately it was the opening of many seams, caused by the crushing process, rather than any great hole stove in her, that had brought about the end of the Nama.

"Poor Nama" murmured Captain Watson.

"There goes the Nama," called Blake, pointing to the tug.
