SYNOPSIS.
Klsteod, a young naval officer. Is going
to explore the bed of the ocean In a hol
low steel sphere, twenty feet III diameter.
The shell Is very thick, has two glass
port-holes one for entrance and the In
terior Is elaborately padded. 11 Is fitted
with electric lights and contains an ap
paratus for renewing -the oxygen of '.he
air. The sphere Is to sink by attached
leaden weights which hang from It by a
cord six hundred feet In length. By this
ariangemnt violent contuct with the bot
tom Is prevented. There ts a mechanical
device by which, when the sinkers strike
the bottom, the cord will wind up, pull
ing the sphere down, and then at the end
of half an hour, cut the cord and allow it
to rise to the sir. fuce. At noon F.lsteud Is
dropped over the stern of his Vessel,
which moves off to a safe distance I11 or
der not to be struck by the shell when It
comes up.
In hulf an hour the shell has not reap
peared. Hours pass and the explorer Is
given up. At midnight the lookout des
cries the sphere afloat. Klstead Is rescued
limp and unconscious. When able, lie tells
his story. The shell rolled over and over
on the way down, the friction of the water
produced great heat and he was ufruld
the port-hole glass would crack. He saw
fish bathed iu phosphorescent light swim
ming about. Then the sphere stopped,
the mechanism begun to work and he wus
slowly pulled to the bottom, five miles
below the surface. Scurcely had he time
to notice the strunee llsh and nlants on
the ocean bed, when he saw,, dimly, a
lurge moving figure suggestive of a walk
ing man, coming towurds him. He hud
discovered a new world.
PAKT III.
It was. a strunge vertehrated animal.
Its dark purple head was dimly sug
gestive of a chameleon, but It hud such
a high forehead and such a bralncase
as no lvptile ever displayed before; 4he
vertical pitch of Its fait gave It a most
extraordinary resemblance to a human
being. Two large and protruding eyes
projected from sockets In chameleon
fashion, and It had a broad reptilian
mouth, with horny Hps beneath Its little
nostrils. In the position of the eurs
were two huge gill covers, and out of
these floated a branching tree of coral
line filaments 'almost like the tree-like

gills that very young rays and sharks
possess. Kut the Immunity of the face
wus not the most extraordinary thing
about the creature; it wus a biped, 14s
almost globular body was poised on a
tripod of two frog-like leg's and a long
shaft of bone tipped with copper. The
color of the creature wus variegated. Us
head, hands and legs were purple, but
Its skin, which hung loosely upon It
even as clothes might do, wus a phos
phorescent gruy. And it stood there,
blinded by the llglnt.
At lust this unknown creature of the
waves blinked Its eyes open, und, shad
lug them with its disengaged hand,
opened Its mouth and gave vent to a
shouting noise, articulate almost as
speech might be, that penetrated even
the steel case and padded Jacket of the
sphere. It then moved sideways out
of the glare into the mystery of shadow
that bordered It on either side, and Kl
stead felt ruther thun saw. that it was
coming towards hi 111. Fancying the
light had attracted it, he turned the
switch that cut off the current. In uu
other moment something soft dabbed
Upon the steel and the globe swayed
Then the Bholitlng was reiieated, and
M seemed to him that a distant echo
answered it. The dubbing recurred und
the globe swuyed and ground against
the spindle over which Ihe wire wus
rolled. He stood In the blackness and
peered out Into the everlasting night
of the (ibyss. And presently, he saw,
very fulnt and remote, other phospho
rescent tiusl-humaii forms hurrying
towards him. Hardly knowing what
he did, he felt about In his swaying
prison for the stud of the exterior elec
trie light and cume by accident agulnst
his own small glow lump In Its padded
recess. The sphere twisted and then
threw him down; he heard hunts like
shouts of surprise, and when he rose to
his feet he saw two pairs of stalked
eyes peering into the lower window und
refMing his light.
In another moment hands were dab
bing vigorously at his steel casing, und
there was a sound, horrible enough in
his position, of the metal protection or
the clockwork being vigorously ham
meted. That, Indeed, sent his lieu it
into his mouth, for it these strange
creature succeeded in stopping that,
his release would never oi-ciir. Scarce
ly hud he thought as much when he
felt the sphere sway violently and the
floor of It press hard nguinst his feet.
He turned off the small glow lamp that
lit the Interior, and sent the ray of the
large light III the separate compart
ment out lnlo the water. The sea
floor and the man-like creatures hud
disappeared, and a couple of fish chns
lng each other dropped suddenly by the
window.
He thought at once that these
strange denizens of the deep sea had
broken Ihe iwlre rope and that he had
escaped. He drove up faster and fas
ter, and then stopped with a Jerk that
sent him flying aglnst the padded roof
of his prison. For half a minute jier-
haps he was too astonished to think.
Then he felt that the sphere wus
spinning slowly and rocking, and It
seemed to him that it wus also being
drawn through the water. By crouch
ing close to the window lie managed
to make his weight effective und roll
that part of the sphere downward, but
he could seen nothing save the pale
ray of his light striking down luef
fectlvely Into the darkness It occurred
to him thut he would see more If he
turned the lamp off and allowed his
eyes to grow accustomed to the pro
found obscurity.
In this he was wise. After some mln
utea the velvety blackness became a
translucent blackness, and then far
away, and as faint as the zodiacal light
of an English summer evening, he saw
shapes moving below. He judged these

were towing him along the sea bottom.
And then he saw something faint and
remote across the undulations of the
submarine plain, a brood horizon of
pale luminosity that extended this way
and that way as fur as the range of
his little window permitted him to see.
To this he was being towed, as a bal
loon might be towed by men out of the
open country into a town. He ap
proached It very slowly, and very slow
ly the dim Irradiation was gathered
together Into more definite shues.
t was nearly live o'clock before he
came over this luminous area und by
that time he could make out an ar
rangement suggestive of streets and
houses grouiied about a vast rootless
erection that was gintesiinely sugges
tive of a ruined ubbey. It wus spread
out like a map below him. The houses
were all rootless imiosures of walls.
and their substance being, as he nfter-
wards saw, of phosphorescent bones,
gave the place an uppearanee as If It
were built of drowned moonshine.
Among the Inner caves of the place
waving trees of 01 inoids stretched their
tentacles, and tall slender glassy
sponges shot like shining minarets and
lilies of filmy light out of the general
glow of the o-lty. In Hie open spares
of the place he could see a stirring
movement as of crowds of people, but
he was too many fathoms above them
to distinguish the individuals in those
crowds.
Then slowly they pulled him down
and as they did si the details of the
place crept slowly upon his apprehen
sion. He saw that the courses of the
cloudy buildings were marked out with
beuded lilies of round objects, and then
he perceived that at several points be
low him In broad open spaces frere
forms like the encrusted sha.pes oC
ships. Slowly and surely he wus drawn
down, aud the forms below him be
came brighter, clearer and more dis
tinct. He was being pulled down, he
perceived, tow aids the large building
In Ihe center of the town, aud he could
catch u glimpse ever and again of the
multitudinous forms thut were lugging
at his cord. He was astonished to see
thut the tigging of one of the ships
which formed such a prominent fea
ture of the place, was crowded with a
host of gesticulating figures regard
ing him, and then the walls of the great
building rose about him silently and
hid the city from his eyes.
And such walls they were! of water
logged wood, und twisted wire rope and
Iron spurs, aud copper, und the bones
and skulls of dead men. The skulls ran
In zag-zag lilies und spirals und fan
tastic curves over the building; and In
and out of their eye sockets, und over
the whole surfuce of the place lurked
and played a multitude of silvery little
fishes. Suddenly his eurs Were lllled
with a low shouting and a noise like the
violent blowing of horns, and this gave
place to a fantastic chant. Down the
sphere sank, past the huge pointed win
dows through which he saw vaguely a
great number of these strange ghost
like people regarding him, and at lust
he cume to rest, as it seemed, 011 a kind
of altar that stood In the center of the
place.
And now he was nt such a level that
he could see those strange people of
the ubyss plainly once more. To his
astonishment he jieri-elved thut they
were prostrating themselves before him.
all save one dressed as It seemed In u
robe of plucoid sculeg, and crowned with
a luminous diadem, who stood with his
reptilian mouth opening and shutting
as though he led the chanting of the
worshippers. A curious impulse made
Klstead turn on his small glow lamp
again, so that he became visible to those
creatures of the abyss, albeit the glure
made them disappear forthwith Into the
night. At this sudden sight of him, the
chanting gave place to a tmiilt of ex
ultant shouts, and Klstead, being anx
ious to watch them, turned his light off
again and vanished from before their
eyes. Hut for a time he was too blind
to make out what they were doing, and
when ut last he could distinguish them
they were kneeling uguln. And then
they continued woishlping him, without
rest or Intermission, for the space of
three hours.
Most circumstantial wus Klslend's
account of this ustoiinding city and its
people, these people of perpetual lllgllt.

nothing of tire nor uny light but the

At one time or another Klstead prob
ably told the officers of the Ptarmigan
every detail of his strange twelve
hours in the abyss. Thut he also In
tended to write them down Is certain,
but he never did, and so, unhappily,
we have to piece together the. dlscrep
aat fragments of Ida story from Jhe
reminiscences of Commander Simmons,
Weybrldge, Steevens,' I.lndley; and the
others. We see the things darkly In
fragmentary glimpses; the huge, ghost
ly building, the bowing, chanting people
with their dusk chameteon-llke head
and faintly luminous clothing, and El
atead with his light turned on again,
vainly trying to convey to their minds
that the cord by which the sphere was
held was to be severed. Minute after
minute slipped away, and Klstead,
looking at his watch, was horrified to
find that he had oxygen only for two
hours more. Hut the chant In his
honor kept on as remorselessly as If it
was the marching song of his approach
ing death.
The manner of his release he does
not unders'tund, but to Judge by the end
of cord that hung from the sphere It
of the cord that hung from the sphere it
against the edge of the altur. Abrupt
ly the sphere rolled over and he swept
up. out of their world, as an ethereal
creature clothed In a vacuum would
sweep through our own atmosphere,
back to Its native ether again. He
must have torn out of their sight us u
hydrogen bubble hastens upwurds from
our air. A strange ascension it must
have seemed to them!
The sphere rushed up with even great
er velocity than when weighted with
the lead sinkers It had rushed down,
it became exceedingly hot. it drove
up with the windows uppermost, and he
remembers the torrent of bubbles froth
ing agulnst the glass. Kvery moment
he expected this to fly.' Then suddenly
something like a huge wheel seemed to
be released In his heud, und the padded
compartment begun spinning about him,
and he fainted. His next recollection
was of his cabin, and of the doctor's
voice.
Hut this Is the substance of the ex
traordinary story that Klstead related
In fragments to the otllcers of the Ptar
migan. He promised to write It all
down at a later date. His mind was
chiefly occupied with the Improvement
of his apparatus, which wus effected at
Kto. It remulns only to tell that on
February 2, 1896, he made his second
descent Into the ocean abyss, with the

remains for the present, but It is hard
