There was a great hall filled with giant statuary straight ahead, and on each side, wide staircases led to the upper floor. "Topside," Scotty said. "Then we can look down and see if any familiar faces come through the door." They walked up the left-hand staircase, past rows of ancient wooden mummy cases, and came to the upper landing.
It was merely some of the freight cars that retarded the further progress of the transcontinental flyer. A derrick car must be brought up to lift away the debris before the fast train could move on. Tom and Ned walked forward along the length of the wreck. Suddenly the anxious young inventor seized Ned's arm. "Glory be!" he ejaculated. "It's topside up, anyway."
"By no means. The skiff is attached to the topside of the Nautilus's hull and is set in a cavity expressly designed to receive it. It's completely decked over, absolutely watertight, and held solidly in place by bolts. This ladder leads to a manhole cut into the Nautilus's hull and corresponding to a comparable hole cut into the side of the skiff.
Then we were very still for some time, and presently some one coughed rather hard outside, and fumbled with the door, and the nice doctor boy came in. "I mustn't allow you people to talk too long," he said. "It is time he had a good drink of milk, and after that he must have some more sleep, and we'll have him topside up in no time."

Sin Sin Wa gently patted his knees. "She velly bad woman," he declared. "She no hate topside pidgin." "Don't talk!" shouted Kerry. "Fetch her!" Sin Sin Wa turned his hands palms upward.

"Ye are the biggest fool in two continents; and the Lord knows what Dan would be thinking of ye if he were topside o' green earth to hear." Whereupon she gripped one vagabond glove with the other in fellow misery; and for the second time that afternoon her eyes closed with sheer exhaustion. The train rumbled on.
"Topside, pal!" "Roger!" Bud's lips shaped the word silently behind his face mask. In a twinkling both boys flicked their density controls and zoomed upward. The sub at once seemed to betray a hostile intent. It blew its tanks and planed upward in pursuit. But Tom and Bud easily pulled away. Their density units worked like magic, shooting them straight toward the surface. "Wow!"
"Here, take the boss from me," Terence commanded, and passed Cappy to a negro fireman, who carried the old man forward and laid him on a pile of blankets, previously placed there for just such an emergency. Then the lifeboat commenced to drop away from the towering black topside and Cappy was aware of Michael J. Murphy's face white, anxious, terrified gazing down at him from the ship's rail.
'Next we 'ave a view of the dining-hall at the Topside Hotel in London, where we see the tables set for a millionaires' banquet. The forks and spoons is made of solid gold and the plates is made of silver. The flowers that you see on the tables and 'angin' down from the ceilin' and on the walls is worth L2,000 and it cost the bloke wot give the supper over L30,000 for this one beano.
Topside, on the radar bridge, was Roger Manning, cocky and brash, but a specialist in radar and communications. Below, on the power deck, was Astro, a colonial from Venus, who had been accused of cutting his teeth on an atomic rocket motor, so great was his skill with the mighty "thrust buckets," as he lovingly called the atomic rockets.
