36xxxx 014 The Cloth Factory On The Island

Into the mysterious South Pacific Ocean sailed the magnificent yacht of Mrs. Patricia Gregory. Captain takes Bradford, her business manager, and young Jerry Hall, went with her in search of Mrs. Gregory's little daughter Joan. The Gregory yacht is now held to the strange Isle of Euclidea, and all on board are prisoners of G-47 and his colony of scientists.

Joan has spent her first night on board the yacht, away from the weird scientists who have raised her inignments of the outside world. The Gregory party is just leaving the yacht for their first daylight view of the island.

Well, the island looks a lot different in the daylight. Everything sparkles just as if it had been polished. Does someone have to shine that stuff all the time, Joan? No, Jerry. The whole surface of the island, except the stone we are walking on, is made of some metal that never tarnishes.

These buildings have looked exactly the same as long as I can remember, and they are never touched. Certainly as an island of wonders, Even if they are terrible wonders. They won't be so terrible when we get back to our world with them.

I'm afraid Captain Redford, that will never be done. Have there been many prisoners like ourselves, dear? A great many, and those who tried to escape are... ...nowhere now. Gee, didn't they all try to escape?

Oh no! Most of the Euclidean started as prisoners, but they are as bad as the scientists now. I can't imagine anyone wanting to become a party to the scientific horrors being created here. What could the scientists offer these prisoners as a reward for staying and working with them?
