Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! I love this guy! It's a plane! Superman! Now Superman, champion of the week and the oppressed, bad end fighter for truth and justice. Superman, trained visitor from the planet Krypton, who walks about among men disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered news reporter.
As you remember, Kenton Professor Thorpe and the daily plan of seaplanes had blown in pursuit of Thorpe's ship, the Juanita, which they learned had sailed from Key West without the professor. When they found the ship, they were fired on by a cannon which had been wheeled up on deck.
And Professor Thorpe, unconscious, had been knocked into the sea. Kent as Superman had rescued the professor and brought him aboard the Juanita. Captain Maddox, his head bandaged, explained his strange behavior by producing a telegram I'm apparently signed by Professor Thorpe, ordering him to sail at once, and to fire on any craft that might attempt to stop him.
Third and the fourth message was sent by somebody who wanted to gain possession of the professor's precious bathysphere, a new type diving bell invented by Thorpe for a study of deep sea fish. Can't end the professor were in their cabin, discussing the peculiar event, and they heard a tapping from the ship's hold below that.
They identified it immediately as Morse code for SOS health. story continues today. Kevin's thought for rushing down the companion way to find the sender of the urgent message. Listen, you can't listen to me. He can tell me the name.
Hurry, Professor. No time to talk now. Do you think someone is really being held? President, the whole world? We're no pretty soon. Let's hurry. Here we are. Below deck. I'm not quiet. Listen, you stopped.
