Squeeze the Heart. But doctors still wanted something more automatic and reliable. Working with engineers of Massachusetts' Brunswick Manufacturing Co., they devised the Thumper, which is basically a small (1½ in. by 3 in.) pneumatic plunger strapped to the chest (see cut). Powered entirely by compressed oxygen (small tanks in portable units, bigger ones in hospitals), the HLR supplies a puff of oxygen twelve times a minute through a face mask, while the plunger, which replaces the rescuer's hands, bounces up and down on the victim's breastbone 60 times a minute. On the downstroke...

Oddly enough, the film is most absorbing when Cousteau lets his camera or his commentary dwell on the extraordinary detail of his men's day-to-day existence. In the heavy air, laden with double the normal amount of oxygen, cuts and abrasions heal overnight. Beards almost stop growing. In the 86-ft. Deep Cabin, the male larynx, in reaction to helium, produces shrill chipmunk sounds. The men listen to music, keep house, play chess, pamper a parrot, and begin to feel strangely detached from events in the surface world. Jewel-bright sea creatures hover outside the glass windows...
