36xxxx 107 Aboard A Test Rocket Plane

Down in the underwater city of Euchlytia, the Gregory party finds life rather difficult. It wasn't any too pleasant to think that there was little hope of their rescue, but when they actually hear a radio broadcast with their own man, Johnson, in Los Angeles as the speaker, telling the world of their death, then things do look mighty bad.

When the Euchlytia started their artificial volcanic eruption and caused the rescue fleet to sail away from the position of the Magic Island, all hope of rescue was gone. Mrs. Gregory and Joan are resting in their comfortable quarters in the underwater city, while Jerry and Captain Bradford have started for the rocket ship laboratories.

There the captain is to be allowed to study the construction and operation of the thousand mile an hour Euclidean plain. Jerry and the captain are standing near the doorway to the scientist's quarters, waiting for their guide.

I know it's all right to talk here, that girl's submarine commander said it was. I guess she ought to know. Okay, if you say so, Jerry, but it seems funny to be talking so freely out in this big open room after being so careful in our own quarters.

Well, there's so many funny things in this crazy place that I'm kind of getting used to. I'm afraid we'll never really learn to take all this for granted. No, I guess not. But look here, Captain Bradford.

How did it happen that old G-47 said I could go into the laboratory with you? That surprised me too, son. Maybe I thought you'd be more likely to stay out of trouble there. Yeah, well, I won't have much chance to do anything they don't like with a room full of sinus watching me.
