Mere thnn 200 men have been ex

Never enter thn lock with en empty

always put en extra clothing while
coming out of the pressure; pass out
slowly; get fully seven hours sleep' In
every twenty-four; never enter the lock
if nt nil sick; avoid sudden chills; de
net take cold baths en coming heated
from the caisson; wear wnrm clothing;
nnd men who have "conditional" cards
from the doctor must be particularly
careful et all times of nil these Instruc

"It Is because of the 'conditional'

"A 'conditional' card." the doctor
explained, "Is a card issued te men
whose physlcel condition is nerhnps net
as strong ns these who nre able te work
under greater pressure. And there is
n constant source of worry whenever
one of the men holding n Nnndlttenal'

"The pilot In charge of the Alex
