...advised Kennedy repeatedly to report the accident and summon help. By the time the trio reached the Chappaquiddick ferry landing, Kennedy seemed to agree. Believing somehow that a full explanation would send Mary Jo's girl friends down to the bridge in a fruitless?and dangerous ?attempt to dive for her themselves, Kennedy instructed Markham and Gargan not to alarm them, said that he would take care of reporting the accident, then plunged alone into the channel and swam across to Edgartown.

The general's ride, to a depth of 130 feet, was a gallant gesture of confidence in the submarines of the Daphné class, to which the Minerve and the Eurydice belonged...
