The submarine craft shot out of the water, and then----

It was as if heaven and earth were splitting in twain.
The whole island shook, and all in the boat fell flat.
The _Searcher_ had been blown to atoms.

Mont's widowed mother was overjoyed to see him alive, and Carl's parents were equally elated, and so were the many friends at Nautical Hall.
The pearls were equally divided, and to-day all of the party are rich men.
