holds can carry 10,500 tons of coal. On her final voyage, the vessel has three hundred nine passengers
and crew and is operating on only her port engine. Loaded with 11,000 pounds of manganese ore, s is
ricing a good foot lower than her Plimsoll mark on her last voyage. When the Prosperteer crashes off
Cuba, the Cyclops is found by Pitt.
Daimler.One of Pitt's cars. His example is a 1951 powered by a 5.4-liter straight-eight engine with
Hooper coachwork. Described as a veritable monster, measuring nearly twenty-two feet from bumper to
bumper and weighing more than three tons. The hood and doors are silver-gray and the fenders a
metallic maroon. A convertible, its top is completely hidden from view when, folded down.
Dashers.Small water-propulsion vehicles made in France for seaside recreation. Has the look of two
torpedoes attached side by side. Controlled by an automobile-type steering wheel. High-performance
batteries power the craft through the means of water jets on smooth seas at speeds of up to twenty knots
for three hours before recharging.
Dawson.One of the Jersey Colonists.
Deep diving suit.Old-style diving suit worn by salvors. They feature a brass diving helmet and
Frankenstein-style weighted boots. The suits use surface-supplied air. Pitt finds a suit with a severed air
hose and the body of a diver in the Cyclops. That makes him believe the statue of La Dorada has already
been salvaged.
Denver.U.S. Navy attack submarine that rescues Pitt when he runs out of gas in the Bahama Channel
in his cast-iron bathtub.
DeVoe, Fireman Second Class Barney.Formerly stationed on the cruiser Pittsburgh. Described as
having the size and shape of a grizzly bear. Sentenced in the murder of Stewart to fifty to ninety-nine
