Frank then opened the valve and proceeded to fill the vestibule with water.
This accomplished, he opened the outer door and walked out on deck.
Roger followed him.
Frank walked along the railed platform and threw over the gang ladder.
Down this they climbed and started for the hulk.

The electric light on his helmet illuminated the interior of the vessel.
Frank saw the main deck strewn with barrels, boxes, and old lumber.
He at once passed through and was in the vessel.
