A few decent working-men remained in the decaying houses, some of which were at least three centuries old. But there swarmed in upon, and submerged them, thousands of criminals, beggars, and the miserably poor and degraded of many nationalities. Businesses that fatten on misfortune the saloon, pawn, old clothes and cheap food shops-lined the squalid Cowgate.
"It is now known that the conscious mind is but a pin's-point of the mind's activity, the conscious state being but one of an infinite number of possible states that the submerged, unconscious self is a million times more complex than the chain of those conscious states which makes up the normal or orderly life of an individual.
The line was broken, and ran in dots, with here and there a pillar standing on opal sky. At last the topmost campanile sank. Renee looked up at the sails, and back for the submerged city. 'It is gone! she said, as though a marvel had been worked; and swiftly: 'we have one night! She breathed it half like a question, like a petition, catching her breath.
Now seeing the two sister ships speeding to the rescue he quickly submerged. It may be noted that as a result of what followed, orders were given by the British Admiralty that in the event of the destruction of a ship by a submarine others in the same squadron should not come to the rescue of the victim, but scatter as widely as possible to avoid a like fate.

Steam was roaring from her safety valves, and as we came up to her a small curl of water under her bows and a swirl at her stern showed that she was under way.
On the arid shores of the Persian Gulf, where rain so seldom falls, and where there are no rills to refresh the parched soil, fresh water is also obtained from submerged springs beneath the salt water.
Then I paddled after the Pioneer, and caught up with it near another submerged bar, where both the canoes stuck again. "This gave me a chance to right the Pioneer and throw most of the water out of it. Then I slung the tent across both of them, tied the cockpits together, and started off. Of course I could only paddle on the right side, but I got along fairly well.
They voiced their amazement when Tatini announced our wish to find a navigator and vessel to Tautira. They all said it was impossible, that the coast to Pari, with the submerged reef of Faratara, was too rough now for any but a large power boat, and the wind would be baffling and threatening. But as fear of the sea was unknown to them, they expressed a will to make the attempt.
