36xxxx 022 Trapped In An Elevator

When Jerry released a homing pigeon with a message to Johnson on the rescue boat, it was stopped by gas in the fog ring surrounding the island. G-47 is now working on the formula taken from the message.

The formula he believes to be Captain Tex Bradford's universal solvent. The other pigeon has been covered with magnetic paint to make it impossible for him to fly through the fog around the island. It is daylight, and as there is no chance of planning anything further toward their escape or rescue until dark.

is Gregory and Captain Bradford are working in the shark room of the yacht, while Joan takes Jerry on a tour of the Magic Island. Now Jerry, you must do just as I tell you and do not touch anything without permission.

This is going to be some sightseeing tour, like letting two of the prisoners in jail go around and look at the other prisoners. You are supposed to be a clever boy, Jerry. Supposed to be?

I am clever. Then if you are, you should appreciate the opportunity of going through some of the laboratories and control chambers on the island and perhaps observing something which will facilitate our ultimate plan of escape. Hey look, why don't you learn to talk English? All those big words are just a waste of time and besides I'm too busy

for that. You would find the larger words more expressive, Jerry, if you would only learn to employ them more frequently. Okay, okay, well, where do we start looking all this stuff? We've been all over this island now and I haven't seen anything but these little steel houses on top.
