Spent the morning helping Sir Cosmo
monitor the pumps for the salvage suits. Dr Wilson and Lt. Pellew
discovered some underwater ruins and inside one of the buildings
a strange rifle. The sinkable boat performed very well better
than my calculations predicted I must have forgotten to factor
in something. The other noteworthy discovery is the wreckage of
a sinkable boat in salvable condition Edward pleaded with the
Captain and Sir Cosmo but to no avail they would not mount an
attempt to recover the vessel.

We are spending the night in the city
of Kor
May 17, 1870
We left the city at first light the
remainder of The Gordon Expedition joining us. Overnight we had
discovered the last remaining member of the expedition was being
held in a series of tunnels. Sir Cosmo and the rest of the league
thought it best that we attempt a rescue at the nonce before forces
moved to stop us.
May 18, 1870
After the mad pace of yesterday today was quite peaceful Sir Cosmo
and Mr. Andrew Pryce have been rescued from a dark necromancer
and best of all Sir Cosmo and The Captain are going to attempt
to raise the Dutch sinkable boat.
May 22, 1870
The salvage operations are going well we have three of the five
hoist lines attached and most of the silt removed from the nose
of Undersea Boat 5. Tomorrow if the weather is good we are going
to attempt to raise her. We shifted the orientation of the 5,
lifting her undamaged stern slightly off the sea bed. Dr Wilson
is currently down at the ship with a air hose we are attempting
to fill the hull with air so it will float to the surface like
a bottle .

The 5 is a marvelous piece of workmanship it uses what the Dutch
survivors call a boilerless steam engine which is interesting
but not very practical. The articulated arms though smashed are
brilliant pieces of engineering.

We made land fall today I need to go see Mr Brown tonight.
