36xxxx 056 Sub Tows The Yacht Back To Magic Island

It was easy enough for the Gregory party to find the magic island of Euclidea, but it seems impossible for them to leave it. When Jerry and Joan rendered most of the equipment on the island useless, and the chemical formula of Captain Bradford's put many of Euclideans to sleep, the Gregory boat left the island in safety.

However, they ran out of fuel oil after an hour's run, and a drum of oil left floating on their course proved to be not oil but turpentine. So the helpless boat heaves too, and is standing by now to be boarded and towed back to Euclidea by a submarine.

Jerry and Joan, Mrs. Gregory and Captain Bradford stand at the rail waiting for the submarine. But I tell you that woman submarine commander is a good friend of ours. Yeah, but don't be too sure of that, Jerry. She's coming out to capture us, didn't she?

That is something she cannot refuse to do, Captain Bradford. Her safety and any value she might have as a friend lie in the fact that the Euclidians do not suspect her. I think that's reasonable enough, Tex.

And I'm not so sure, Pat. Well, we haven't any choice. We're going to be towed back to G47 in his mad colony and I, for one, have no interest in the person who takes us back.

Aww, you mustn't feel so hopeless, Mrs. Gregory. Why, that girl at the Gas and the Chemical Laboratory put her to sleep just so she could help us before. Maybe she'll find some way to help us again.

You are right, Jerry. Commander S1 will aid us again if the opportunity presents itself. Yeah, but I've got a notion that after the way we handled him, old G-47 is going to make it his business to see that no such opportunity gets a chance to present itself.
