36xxxx 043 Jerry And Joan Escape

When the Johnson boat was told to the Magic Island by the Euclidean submarine, it appeared that all hope for the Gregory party had vanished. However, Johnson was not on board the boat, having lifted secretly on the high seas and boarded another boat returning to Los Angles.

The formula which Captain Bradford had sent to Johnson by homing pigeon has been taken by G-47, and the Euclidean scientists immediately set about compounding this formula, thinking they have Captain Bradford's universal solvent. The formula is really something far different, however, and as we look into the laboratory, We see Jerry and Joan standing with G47, the woman submarine commander and the submarine engineer.

Excellent work, Commander. You will have brought them just in time. The work on the captain's formula is within seconds of completion. I will take them to the confinement cells if you wish it. No, no. I want them here.

A Bradford is a very clever man. It is entirely possible that he may have planned a little surprise for us at the completion of the formula. It will be well to have two of his friends near me at that time.

What do you mean, Zeevordy-seven? If anything unpleasant were to happen, it might lessen the captain's enjoyment to know that You too, young fools. Had received a portion of the treatment. You were what? It hit the table, T-47?

Yes, yes. Come with me, you two. Over here, quickly. Does that stuff end? Precisely. It has reached the boiling point. The closest should be complete any second. This guy. It's a good thing we got out of that fast, John.

Huh. I've forgotten, start the talk. And I, too, Jerry. A little of the gas got in my mouth, but I think I'm quite all right now. Now? We're supposed to go and stir up all the rest of the Euclidians and try and get them to rush into that room to save G47 and the chemist.
