Some of it just 267 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.279 fell in the hand, and there's a big pool of 268 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.879 it at the bottom.

Nothing, there sallid rock on top. They're 310 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.640 opening on that Saturday. That's what I was afraid of, 311 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.680 mister Palmroy. The tunnel mouth is underwater, so we'll probably 312 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:14.240 have the devil's own time finding it. 313 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.079 What do you think this cave is, sir, an ancient volcano? 314 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.839 Not exactly. 315 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:20.640 Notice the poles in that rock over there. 316 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:22.960 Yes, sir, Stratum was forced up at some time, and 317 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:25.359 the sim's been cut out by the sea.

Organize a gunproof and the 320 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.880 men who have left, mister Palmroy. 321 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.240 You you think we'll get out, sir, we'll get out. 322 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.960 Never doubt that for a moment, mister. The first thing 323 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.799 we've got to do is to kill that monster when 324 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.559 it comes back. We can't do anything while they're still danger. 325 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:45.839 It may turn up at any minute. 326 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.400 Russell says he can hear it from the audiophone. 327 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.319 Captain, twenty two hours since it left. That's about what 328 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.440 I thought it would be. It's coming back. 329 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.279 Then, while those eight shells into as fast as you 330 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.279 can lose. As soon as it gets in sight, I'll 331 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:18.960 turn the search slide off and I'll fire a player 332 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.160 so it can't spot us too easily. 333 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:21.160 We're ready share. 334 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:22.319 Let it come. 335 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:26.880 I can hear it, sir, can't be very far away. 336 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:28.240 Now there it is, that's the. 337 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.519 Light, mister POMERI, yes, sure, then I'm letting the player go. 338 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.640 Make every shot. 339 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.079 Phone in blast its head.

We wouldn't do much 358 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.160 good with nothing more than a long These. 359 00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:00.119 May turn out to be no better. So these you've 360 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.240 got a chance. Here's what will do, mister Palmroy. The 361 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:05.759 Krackan isn't dead, although it's lost all its tentacles. 362 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.279 It's my idea. It twill head for the open sea. 363 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.160 And we follow it through the tunnel, sir, Not follow, mister. 364 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:13.359 You forget that tunnel is at least a quarter of 365 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:16.119 a mile long, and only Father Neptune himself knows what 366 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.079 kind of a bottom it has. The crack and told 367 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.559 us in here, and I intend that it shall tow 368 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.480 us out. But how sir, with this harpoon, it always 369 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.720 the big enough target that I shouldn't miss. When I 370 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.440 harpoon it, it will probably dive into the tunnel. You 371 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:32.319 grab the line and go overside, and I'll be right 372 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.079 behind you. Inflate your suit so that you float clear 373 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:38.160 of the bottom.
