36xxxx 023 Elevator Escape

While waiting for darkness to cover the magic island of Euclidea, Jerry and Joan have gone on a tour of the island, leaving Captain Bradford and Mrs. Gregory on the captive yacht. Mrs. Gregory's daughter Joan, who has spent nearly all of her fifteen years on the island, has undertaken to show Jerry the submarine locks on the fifth level below the surface of the artificial

island. They descend to the proper level in the magnetic elevator, but the door fails to open. Jerry and Joan are now badly frightened as they hear the rushing of water outside the elevator shaft. They've been there for some time and the air in the elevator car is getting very bad. What are we going to do? Must be some way to get air into this

thing. These are cliddings are too smart but to figure on accidents and these elevators. You're right Jerry. There's an oxygen tank, snowbells, you're not feeling I forgot just like a girl. Where is it? I'm feeling around the front of the ceiling.

Up there in the dark. Yeah. Nope. Can't reach it. Not tall enough. Then we're going to suffocate. Wait a minute. I'll stand in the corner. Don't hear it's round. Maybe I can grace myself. Yeah. Now I'll make a crease of my hands.

Feel around me, can't you? I can't, Gary. I will. There, I feel your face. Well, you can't stand on my face. Run your hands down my arms. Feel how I've got my hands fixed? Yes, Gary.

Then put your foot in my hands. Get your hands behind my head. Lift yourself up. Then take one hand loose. feel around on the ceiling. If you grab a valve, turn it on. I will try. Hold me, Jerry.
