IS THERE ANY HOPE?

Years ago an S-4 submarine was rammed by a ship off the coast of Massachusetts. It sank immediately. The entire crew was trapped in a prison house of death. Every effort was made to rescue the crew, but all ultimately failed.

Near the end of the ordeal, a deep sea diver, who was part of the rescue crew, thought he heard tapping on the steel wall of the sunken sub. He placed his helmet up against the side of the vessel, and he realised it was Morse code. In his mind he spelled out the message that was being tapped from within. It was repeating the same question: "Is there any hope?"
