(AP) Aquanaut Robert Barth, speaking calmly, was the narrator as a Navy board of inquiry saw a video tape of a dive 610 feet into the Pacific Ocean that cost a colleape's life. A camera remotely controlled from the surface picked up Barth and Berry L. Cannon, the death victim, as they left a diving capsule and began swimming toward the leaking Sealab 3 habitat last Feb. 17.

Barth was shown arriving on the diving platform. He at tempted to open the hatch. It wouldn't budge so he began detaching a crow bar from the side of the habitat. Cannon was to the right of the picture, out of view, he said. "It took me approximately one minute to get the crow bar loose," Barth told the board of inquiry Monday.

"When I turned around--that's when I noticed Cannon was in trouble." Barth, 39, a chief warrant officer, took part in two previous Sealab unersea living experiments. He was the leader of a team of divers--Cannon, 33, John F. Reaves, 40, and Richard M. Blackburn, 30--sent to the bottom twice in an attempt to stop a leak that threatened to flood the habitat.

At 83, Mike still plays the dummy just about as well as anyone and in 1929 he was at the prime age for that ability.

This hand was not any easy thing to make. We don't know if he would have brought it home against a club lead, although he might well have done so. West opened the three of diamonds and Mike studied the hand for some time I before playing to the first trick. After that, his play was very fast. He had worked everything out.

His first decision was to proceed on the assumption that trumps would break 3-2. His next was to try to establish the club suit. It would be just about impossible to bring the hearts home. Therefore, he won the diamond in dummy and discarded his singleton club. Then he ruffed a low club, entered dummy with the ace of spades, ruffed another low club, entered dummy again with the king of spades and started to run the rest of dummy's clubs.
