Garret�拭─�and he nodded to the aged engineer�察�who had been in his employ 

for many years。 

     ;No�察�and I guess we'll soon have her in the water�察�Tom�察�now that you 

and Mr。 Sharp are here to help us�察─�replied Garret Jackson。 

     ;We   ought   to   have   Mr。   Damon   here   to   bless   the   submarine   and   his 

liver   and   collar   buttons   a   few   times�察─  �put   in   Mr。   Sharp�察  �who   brought   in 

another bundle。 He referred   to an eccentric  individual Who had   recently 

made   an   airship voyage   with   himself   and Tom�察 �Mr。   Damon's   peculiarity 

being   to   use   continually  such   expressions   as�此   �Bless   my  soul�   �Bless   my 

liver� ─�

     ;Well�察�I'll be glad when we can make a trial trip�察─�went on Tom。 ;I've 

traveled pretty fast on land with my motor´ cycle�察�and we certainly have 

hummed   through   the   air。  Now   I  want   to   see  how   it   feels   to scoot   along 

under water。; 

     ;Well�察�if everything goes well we'll be in position to make a trial trip 

inside of a month�察─�remarked the aged inventor。 ;look here�察�Mr。 Sharp�察�I 

made     a   change    in  the   steering   gear�察  �which    I'd  like   you   and   Tom    to 

consider。; 

     The three walked around to the rear of the odd´looking structure�察�if an 

object   shaped   like   a   cigar   can   be   said   to   have   a   front   and   rear�察  �and   the 

inventor�察�his son�察�and the aeronaut were soon deep in a discussion of the 

technicalities connected with under´water navigation。 

     A little later they went into the house�察�in response to a summons from 

the   supper   bell�察  �vigorously   rung   by   Mrs。   Baggert。   She   was   not   fond   of 

waiting with meals�察�and even the most serious problem of mechanics was�察�

in her estimation�察�as nothing compared with having the soup get cold�察�or 

the possibility of not having the meat done to a turn。 

     The meal was interspersed with remarks about the recent airship flight 

of Tom and Mr。 Sharp�察�and discussions about the new submarine。 This talk 

went on even after the table was cleared off and the three had adjourned to 

the sitting´ room。 There Mr。 Swift brought out pencil and paper�察�and soon 

he   and   Mr。   Sharp   were   engrossed   in   calculating   the   pressure  per   square 

inch of sea water at a depth of three miles。 

     ;Do you intend to go as deep as that�拭─�asked Tom�察�looking up from a 



                                              5

paper he was reading。 

     ;Possibly�察─�replied his father�察�and his son resumed his perusal of the 

sheet。 

     ;Now�察─�went on the inventor to the aeronaut�察 �I have another plan。 In 

addition   to   the   positive   and   negative   plates   which   will   form   our   motive 

power�察�I am going to install forward and aft propellers�察�to use in case of 

accident。; 

     ;I   say�察  �dad�   �Did   you   see   this�拭─  �suddenly   exclaimed Tom�察  �getting   up 

from his chair�察�and holding his finger on a certain place in the page of the 

paper。 

     ;Did I see what�拭─�asked Mr。 Swift。 

     ;Why�察�this account of the sinking of the treasure ship。; 

     ;Treasure ship�拭�No。 Where�拭─�

     ;Listen�察─�went on Tom。 ;I'll read it�此�'Further advices from Montevideo�察�

Uruguay�察      �South    America�察     �state   that  all   hope    has   been    given    up   of 

recovering   the   steamship   Boldero�察  �which   foundered   and   went   down   off 

that   coast   in   the   recent   gale。   Not   only   has   all   hope   been   abandoned   of 

raising    the   vessel�察  �but   it  is  feared   that   no   part  of   the  three   hundred 

thousand dollars in gold bullion which she carried will ever be recovered。 

Expert divers who were taken to the scene of the wreck state that the depth 

of water�察�and the many currents existing there�察�due to a submerged shoal�察�

preclude any possibility of getting at the hull。 The bullion�察�it is believed�察�

was   to   have   been   used  to   further   the   interests of   a   certain   revolutionary 

faction�察�but it seems likely that they will have to look elsewhere for the 

sinews of   war。  Besides the bullion   the ship   also   carried several   cases of 

rifles�察  �it  is  stated�察 �and   other    valuable    cargo。   The    crew    and   what    few 

passengers the Boldero carried were�察�contrary to the first reports�察�all saved 

by taking to the boats。 It appears that some of the ship's plates were sprung 

by   the   stress   in   which   she   labored   in   a   storm�察  �and   she   filled   and   sank 

gradually。'     There�    �what    do   you   think   of   that�察 �dad�拭─   �cried   Tom   as    he 

finished。 

     ;What do I think of it�拭�Why�察�I think it's too bad for the revolutionists�察�

Tom�察�of course。; 

     ;No�察  �I   mean   about   the   treasure   being   still   on   board   the   ship。   What

about that�拭─�

     ;Well�察  �it's   likely  to   stay   there�察  �if   the   divers   can't   get   at   it。   Now�察  �Mr。 

Sharp�察�about the propellers; 

     ;Wait�察�dad� ─�cried Tom earnestly。 

     ;Why�察�Tom�察�what's the matter�拭─�asked Mr。 Swift in some surprise。 

     ;How  soon   before   we   can   finish our   submarine�拭─  �went on Tom�察  �not 

answering the question。 

     ;About a month。 Why�拭─�

     ;Why�拭�Dad�察�why can't we have a try for that treasure�拭�It ought to be 

comparatively easy to find that sunken ship off the coast of Uruguay。 In 

our submarine we can get close up to it�察�and in the new diving suits you 

invented we can get at that gold bullion。 Three hundred thousand dollars� �

Think of it�察�dad� �Three hundred thousand dollars� �We could easily claim 

all of   it�察 �since   the owners have   abandoned it�察 �but   we   would   be   satisfied 

with half。 Let's hurry up�察�finish the submarine�察�and have a try for it。; 

     ;But�察�Tom�察�you forget that I am to enter my new ship in the trials for 

the prize offered by the United States Government。; 

     ;How much is the prize if you win it�拭─�asked Tom。 

     ;Fifty thousand dollars。; 

     ;Well�察  �here's   a   chance   to   make   three   times   that   much   at   least�察  �and 

maybe more。 Dad�察�let the Government prize go�察�and try for the treasure。 

Will you�拭─�

     Tom  looked   eagerly  at   his   father�察  �his   eyes   shining   with   anticipation。 

Mr。 Swift was not a quick thinker�察�but the idea his son had proposed made 

an impression on him。 He reached out his hand for the paper in which the 

young   inventor   had   seen   the   account   of   the   sunken   treasure。   Slowly   he 

read it through。 Then he passed it to Mr。 Sharp。 

     ;What do you think of it�拭─�he asked of the aeronaut 

     ;There's   a   possibility�察─  �remarked   the   balloonist   ;We   might   try  for   it。 

We can easily go three miles down�察�and it doesn't lie as deeply as that�察�if 

this   account is true。 Yes�察  �we   might try  for   it。   But   we'd   have to   omit   the 

Government contests。; 

     ;Will you�察�dad�拭─�asked Tom again。 

     Mr。 Swift considered a moment longer。 



                                              7 


´ Page 8´

       TOM SWIFT AND HIS SUBMARINE BOAT ��or Under the Ocean for Sunken Treasure�� 



    ;Yes�察�Tom�察�I will�察─�he finally decided。 ;Going after the treasure will be 

likely   to  afford   us   a  better  test  of   the  submarine     than   would    any 

Government tests。 We'll try to locate the sunken Boldero。; 

    ;Hurrah� ─�cried the lad�察�taking the paper from Mr。 Sharp and waving it 

in the air。 ;That's the stuff�    �Now for a search for the submarine treasure� ─�
