In an hour the general, having thought over everything again, ordered to connect him to his brother.

      – Where are you?

      – In the bay, – professor called a small island. – I am standing near the pier moored.

      – And I am going back. To the place where our ship disappeared, where our fighter was shot by someone unknown and where, in addition to all that, as you claim, there lives some fantastic animal. You must not sail to the ocean on your old tub, Marc, that’s why I invite you to be a guest on my cruiser, and I will soon deal with all submarine villains at once.

      – With pleasure, Pete. Moreover, I would like to share some ideas with you, but I would not like to do it in the air.

      – That’s all right, I’ll soon send a hydroplane for you.

      It is Still “Far till Evening”

      – Listen, Chris, the lads will have to be sent home. And you will wait for me here and look after the ship. I request you not to sail into the ocean.

      – Marc, why shouldn’t I work in shallow waters? I could do something alone according to our research plan.

      – It is dangerous, think yourself. That whom we think to be a squid is too strong.

      – Listen, but judging by the words of your brother it is already clear that the military ship perished as a result of somebody’s diversion and not because of a sea beast.

      – And what about the tentacle which you saw?

      – But it did not attack the ship, it selected a man.

      – Is it not enough for you? Besides, I suspect that this giant is able to act in shallow waters. That skeleton, Chris. We have not found a clear explanation for it.

      – Though the skeleton is lying in shallow waters, but just at the edge of a hollow. Most probably, the giant, having digested the food, threw it out somewhere not far away to the surface. You know, there is a strong current to the shore, and before the skeleton sunk it was brought into shallow waters.
