Out crackled a message for help and whooshing overboard went a cylindrical depth charge, then another and another till seven had geysered salt water up into the air. The destroyer Hasty zipped at 38 knots to the rescue of her sister ship, but by the time she got there the surface of the sea was iridescent with oil. The mystery submarine had apparently been sunk.

The inventor of Soluble Specific Substance, Dr. Lloyd Derr Felton, who had experimented at Harvard and now at Johns Hopkins, hopes to develop similar sugary substances to be used...

...both sides of the Atlantic. Their low-keyed humor, chess-game pace and subacid satire give them an effect somewhat less than sidesplitting, but for readers who like their slyness slow and stately, Ernest Bramah is a lordly dish.
