36xxxx 101 Ships Moved Away

One by one the members of the Gregory party have seen various portions of the huge Euclidean City below the sea. In one of the vast natural caves, which the Euclideans have improved and strengthened, Mrs.

Gregory and Joan are waiting anxiously for Captain Bradford and Jerry Hall. We last saw the Captain and Jerry making a vain attempt to rescue G-47 from the swirling waters rushing in upon them, as a series of explosions rocked the walls of the cavern.

A steel door has slammed shut, cutting off their view of the flooded pathway, and Mrs. Gregory and Joan stand helplessly waiting for someone to appear. The explosions are still being heard in the distance. I think we should try to get in there Joan.

No mother, that is foolish. But Texas and that passage where I'm turning. You cannot help by getting hysterical. G-47 and the captain will do everything possible to save themselves and Jerry as well. But if we open that door we might get them out.

And if we open that door the waters of the ocean would rush in and flood this entire city. Every life in Eucredia would be lost. And we are just going to stand here and do nothing.

That is not wise either. Let us go to a higher level in one of the other passageways. Very well. But it's so useless, just a waste of time. We do not know that. Come let us walk as rapidly as possible.

This is one time when the all-wise Eucredians got a little taste of their own medicine. Their cleverly designed volcanic eruption is just as apt to destroy their city as it is to drive away any boats on the surface of the water.
