But for weeks a strange fleet of floating scientific laboratories has been cruising the choppy waters 220 miles east of Cape Cod, and this week the weirdest craft of all is being towed into range. The bathyscaphe Trieste is preparing to dive toward the spot that undersea snapshots have tentatively marked as Thresher's grave...
...beastly work. Off Cape Cod, the Atlantic is a battleground for the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current, and the weather veers from dim to foul.

The paper is drawn under a stationary set of 600 tiny needles-or styli-that are arranged in a 10-in. row. The computer standing...
