36xxxx 070 Sub Dives To 9000

The Magic Island of Euclidea is a weird place to discover, a difficult place to escape from, and now it seems that it's going to prove an even harder job to stay away from it. Jerry and Joan, Mrs. Gregory, and Captain Bradford stole one of Euclidean submarines, and with Joan at the control, they raced away from the island in safety.

Now they are nearly 400 miles from Euclidea, and that should be a safe enough distance from anywhere. But things move fast with G47 and his scientists. We find Captain Bradford at the controls in the central section of the submarine with Mrs. Gregory at his side. A strange sound had just reached barrier.

The submarine hesitates. Then his tossed about as if a heavy shell had exploded near it. And from the stern section, Joan screams at the captain to die. The submarine is being attacked. With the high beam text, you must have moved the right lever.

Looks like it, but we don't seem to be going down very fast. Jerry and Joan are resting up here from the stern, and Joan will know what to do. I don't know what to do.

I told this thing just as she told me. You're doing everything that can be done, Captain Bradford. But we're not diving very fast. I thought you said this thing could die like a fish. Under proper conditions, these submarines will die rapidly.

What's the matter, Joan? What's happening? You clear the magnetic bombs? Magnetic bombs? Well, thanks. I will explain later. We must reach a greater depth at once. I did everything you told me to, Joan, but for sure going down way slowly.
