Ever since Naguib's coup of last July stripped 33-year-old King Farouk of his crown, Narriman has had to contemplate Farouk's powerful, hairy wrists in exile-first on Capri, finally in a 30-room villa staffed by eight servants in the Alban Hills outside Rome. Bereft of palaces, they pursued pleasures: days at the races, nights at the opera, wee hours at Rome's tame little nightclubs. Each had a Mercedes-Benz, green for him, cherry red for her.

Some 100 meters off the Isle of Capri one day last week, a stocky (5 ft. 6 in., 150 Ibs.) Italian Air Force lieutenant named Raimondo Bucher donned a man-from-Mars outfit: rubber frog feet, web-fingered gloves, heavy goggles, and a partial face mask with rubber-padded steel clips to block his nostrils. In his hands he carried a 44-lb. spear gun, weighted with an extra 4.4 Ibs. of lead. Bucher. poised on the rail of the small ship bobbing in the rough water, was aiming to become the first man ever to "skin-dive" (i.e., without...
