(part 3)

Captain Halvorsen and Jansen both watched the pod of whales... For a very long minute.

Then, the unexplained booming sound from the sea... Got many decibels louder!

THRUM... THRUMMM... THRUUUUMMMMMM!

"My ears... The Sound! It's deafening!" yelled Jansen, to the Captain.

They both, as well as most of the crew on deck, cupped their ears.

It did not help... much.

Meanwhile, another light appeared in the twilight. White... Another ship.

It also seemed drawn toward the greenish iceberg. What the hell was happening?

Captain Halvorsen shouted into the voice line to the bridge: "Helm... Reverse course... Immediately!"

It was of little use, however. The Helmsman did as ordered - but the ship now slipped... sideways... toward the Green Berg.

Looking again in his brass spyglass... Halvorsen now could make out something sticking out, from the side of the iceberg. It shone...

Something metallic... Silvery-green... Holding an aura of not just mystery... But... also, perhaps... of Evil? Yes... It 'felt' and spoke... screamed: DANGER!
