“Which I hope you will.”
“I shall not give up trying.”
“Well,” said Von Bulow, wistfully, “are we to pay a visit of exploration to that city or not?”
“I think we will,” replied Frank. “I shall sail the Dart down into that large square in the center. It looks like a central point.”
“So it is,” cried the scientist, joyfully. “Oh, what a splendid opportunity to advance exploration now!”
No time was lost.
The Dart was allowed to sail down into the large square in the heart of the sunken city.
Here it was securely anchored, and all the explorers were now brought in close proximity to the buildings.
And these were of a wonderful style of architecture, and their white color did not arise from the nature of the stone employed, but, as was now seen, owing to a thick formation of coral which encrusted all.
It was a scene of great beauty, and all gazed upon it spellbound.
