The one conducted the lightning safely from the sky; the other conducts it beneath the ocean from continent to continent.

It was my uncle's own voice! He was talking to the guide. And 'forlorad' is a Danish word. Then I understood it all. To make myself heard, I must speak along this wall, which would conduct the sound of my voice just as wire conducts electricity. But there was no time to lose. If my companions moved but a few steps away, the acoustic phenomenon would cease.
He runs the hazard of charges and removal.
