36xxxx 060 Chamber Filling With Water

When the Gregory Yacht left Los Angles in search of the Magic Island and Mrs. Gregory's long-lost little daughter Joan, they anticipated plenty of trouble and were not long in finding it. They planned and executed one escape, only to be brought back to the strange island of Eucharitya, where their position is now worse than ever, as their confined in steel

cells on one of the lower levels of this mad scientific colony. G-47 master scientist and ruler of Eucharitya has just paid them a visit, not a pleasant one. Mrs. Gregory, Joan, Jerry and Captain Bradford stand listening to a new threat.

The signal to submerge the island of Euclidea is sounding, and with it another signal which only Joan understands. Jerry, Tex and Pat find it hard to believe Joan as she explains the second signal. There's that blame gone again.

The island will be moved. You mean that Joan? They will actually move this huge island? Yes, Mother. Well, golly whiskers. That's a pretty big order, Joan. This island is 100 feet high and several hundred feet in diameter.

and it weighs more than one million tons. Yet it will be moved. It is moving now. Well, how do they move it? There are immense cantilever activated units of the worldly articulated caterpillar type, which simply progress slowly but steadily along the ocean floor.

And Nylon that weighs a million tons walking around on the floor of the ocean? This is a nightmare. Yet it's real. Horribly real. I can feel a steady vibration now. The entire place seems to be rocking gently from side to side.

That is a fair layman's description of the action. Oh yeah? Well a layman's description is plenty good enough for me now. I don't need a lot of scientific languages to tell me that we're sunk.
