36xxxx 103 The Pigeons

No matter how long and how hard any job seems to be, there's always a way to do it, always an answer to everything that seems to go wrong, and it looks as if the Gregory party have found the answer to their trouble.

When Mrs. Gregory, her daughter Joan, Jerry Hall, and Captain Bradford were taken to the Euclidean city beneath the sea and given their freedom to roam through the city as they played ease, it proved that the freedom was mostly imaginary, as they are prisoners, perhaps even more surely prisoners than they were on the Magic Island.

The Euclidean city is built in 13 enormous natural caves under the ocean, the smallest of these rooms being a mile and diameter, and the largest nearly two miles across. The highest point in this weird city is 200 feet below the water, and escape has seemed impossible.

Now, however, we find Jerry and Joan walking through one of the large caves, and they're mighty careful about something. What's wrong? Are you sure G-47 will keep his promise? I have told you repeatedly, Jerry, that G-47 need not stoop to the practice of deceiving anyone.

He is quite securing Euclidea. No, I guess that's right. He can let the text work for those rocket ships all he wanted to. And still be mighty sure that there wasn't any danger of our stealing one of them.

Captain Redford is very clever, but even he would find it impossible to take a rocket ship out of these underwater caverns. Yeah, I guess it would, but if you could in, hey, where are we going?

We are going to the transportation room where we will be allowed to see all of the Euclidean methods of transportation. Okay, it's all a one to know. What were you about to say when you interrupted yourself?
