Chapter 1 A Runaway Reef

THE YEAR 1866 was marked by a bizarre development, an unexplained and downrightinexplicable phenomenon that surely no one has forgotten.

Without getting into those rumors that upset civilians in the seaports andderanged the public mind even far inland,

it must be said that professional seamen were especially alarmed.

Traders, shipowners, captains of vessels, skippers, and master mariners from Europe and America, naval officers from every country, and at their heels the various national governments on these two continents, were all extremely disturbed by the business.

In essence, over a period of time several ships had encountered “an enormous thing” at sea, a long spindle-shaped object, sometimes giving off a phosphorescent glow, infinitely bigger and faster than any whale.

The relevant data on this apparition, as recorded in various logbooks, agreed pretty closely as to the structure of the object or creature in question, its unprecedented speed of movement, its startling locomotive power, and the unique vitality with which it seemed to be gifted.

Chapter 2 The Pros and Cons

And indeed, unless this reef had an engine in its belly, how could it move about with such prodigious speed?

Also discredited was the idea of a floating hull or some other enormouswreckage, and again because of this speed of movement.

So only two possible solutions to the question were left, creating two very distinct groups of supporters:

on one side, those favoring a monster of colossal strength; on the other, those favoring an “underwater boat” of tremendous motor power.

Now then, although the latter hypothesis was completely admissible, it couldn’t stand up toinquiries conducted in both the New World and the Old.

That a private individual had such a mechanism at his disposal was less than probable. Where and when had he built it, and how could he have built it in secret?

Only some government could own such an engine of destruction, and in these disaster-filled times,

when men tax their ingenuity to build increasingly powerful aggressive weapons, it was possible that,

unknown to the rest of the world, some nation could have been testing such a fearsome machine.
