第31部分(第3页)

There was a rapid succession of sonar sounds: pong! pong! pong! pong! Then a pause; and it came again: pong! pong! pong! pong!

Norman looked puzzled。 Fletcher leaned over and whispered; 〃False…aperture sonar makes a detailed picture from several senders outside; gives you a good look at him。〃 He smelled liquor on her breath。 He thought: Whered she get liquor?

''209'' Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Building image。 Ninety yards。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Image up。〃

They turned to the screens。 Norman saw an amorphous; streaky blob。 It didnt mean much to him。

〃Jesus;〃 Barnes said。 〃Look at the size of him!〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Eighty yards。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

Another image appeared。 Now the blob was a different shape; the streaks in another direction。 The image was sharper at the edges; but it still meant nothing to Norman。 A big blob with streaks 。。。

〃Jesus! Hes got to be thirty; forty feet across!〃 Barnes said。 〃No fish in the world is that big;〃 Beth said。

〃Whale?〃

〃Its not a whale。〃

Norman saw that Harry was sweating。 Harry took off his glasses and wiped them on his jumpsuit。 Then he put them back on; and pushed them up on the bridge of his nose。 They slipped back down。 He glanced at Norman and shrugged。

Tina: 〃Fifty yards and closing。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Thirty yards。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Thirty yards。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Holding at thirty yards; sir。〃

Pong! pong! pong! pong!

〃Still holding。〃

〃Active off。〃

Once again; they heard the hiss of the hydrophones。 Then a distinct clicking sound。 Normans eyes burned。 Sweat had rolled into his eyes。 He wiped his forehead with his jumpsuit sleeve。 The others were sweating; too。 The tension was unbearable。 He glanced at the video monitor again。 The sphere was still closed。

He heard the hiss of the hydrophones。 A soft scraping ''210'' sound; like a heavy sack being dragged across a wooden floor。 Then the hiss again。

Tina whispered; 〃Want to image him again?〃

〃No;〃 Barnes said。

They listened。 More scraping。 A moment of silence; followed by the gurgle of water; very loud; very close。

〃Jesus;〃 Barnes whispered。 〃Hes right outside。〃

A dull thump against the side of the habitat。

The screen flashed on。

I AM HERE。
