The tide was setting in strongly and at times it was with difficulty that he kept his feet. He had become satisfied that this particular suit filled all the requirements of a first-class diving-suit, and he was about to try its special, self-liberating feature, when his attention was arrested by a vague mass which seemingly moved against the current.
"Oh it isn't very great, Papa. It's only that I'm going away." "Going away?" "I don't mean out of the country. Only to London." "Ha! Going to London " He rolled it ruminatingly on his tongue. "Well, if that's all you've come to say, it's very simple. You can't go." He bent his knees with the little self-liberating gesture that he had when he put his foot down. "But," said Gwenda, "I'm going."
Strange to say, it had been the self-liberating diving-suit and the rival company was the Under Seas Company. All this took place some time after the disappearance of the Automaton and his precious crew. Some hours later that evening a telephone message came for Locke from the boatman that the diving-suit had been recovered and was being held by him.
"We are reliably informed," read the letter, "that the Under Seas Corporation is trying to obtain possession of the self-liberating diving-suit which you control in our interest. This must be prevented." Locke was immediately interested. At once it occurred to him that here was a patent which the company had suppressed which might prove of incalculable value.
In the library, Locke, having persuaded Eva, left her and went down into the Graveyard of Genius, where he touched the secret spring and the massive door flew open. He entered the gloomy place and went at once to the shelf upon which lay the self-liberating diving-suit. He took the suit down and examined its every detail minutely.
