36xxxx 057 Two Guards Knocked Out

The Magic Island is once more a dread name to Mrs. Gregory and her little band of friends. When they made their escape from the island through messages carried to another boat by homing pigeons, things looked favorable for a few short hours, but now the future is as black as it could be painted. Recaptured by a Euclidean submarine and being towed back

to the island by their submerged captor, Tex Bradford and Jerry Hall are on the deck, wondering what their fate will be. Mrs. Gregory and her daughter Joan are aboard the submarine. As Jerry and Tex notice a sudden list to starboard, the old skipper comes running with the new that they're shipping water through a bad hole in the hull,

chopped by the Euclidean who was their president. You're sure of that, Skipper? Hi. But how could that guy get loose? He was tied down with everything in the hole. Wasn't enough, though, Jerry. He's gone.

Kick this side out of our boat doing it. We've got to do something about slapping a patch on that hole. The submarine won't have to bother to tow as much farther. Well, let's go and see what we can do about then, Tex.

Hold it a minute, Jerry. Thank you, and McLeod, can you get a patch over that hole, Skipper? I... But without motors, we haven't got any plums. No, well, shove off Skipper and get Mac working on that thing.

You can't stop it. We'll signal the sub to take us aboard. I... And sound out for us if you can't handle it. I... Of course, the Skipper looks like he'd just as soon drowns us get on board that submarine.
