48 WONDERS OF THE DEEP 



While the expedition was at Nassau the greatest 

 interest was shown in their submarine investiga- 

 tions by scientists and others, and several distin- 

 guished persons, including His Excellency the 

 Governor of the Bahama Islands and his wife, 

 gratified their curiosity by paying the Americans 

 a visit and descending the tube to the observation 

 chamber. They were amazed, and marvelled at the 

 remarkable sights that they saw from the observa- 

 tion chamber, and declared that the Williamsons 

 were without doubt the pioneers of a project which 

 would startle the entire world with its wondrous 

 possibilities, and which would one day be worked 

 out to the benefit of the universe.
