Attack of the Crab Monsters Page #3

Come up the path!

We'll meet you!

They must have found something.

Come on, hon.

Oh, hold it.

- That ridge will drop right off.

- Off what?

Come. See for yourself.

But only this morning I came along

this path on my way to the beach.

And it wasn't there.

You mean this pit

wasn't here before?

It has only appeared in

the last 20 minutes.

And it's at least 50 feet deep.

- Nothing but land crabs.

- I want to go down there.

- No.

- Why not?

You are a geologist. You know

that a second disturbance

would cause a cave-in that would

crush anybody down in the pit.

- He seems pretty definite, Jim.

- Is he right about a cave-in?

He could be,

assuming this was caused

by a disturbance.

Why, it's glazed, as though

it had been fired in a kiln.

Sommers, you and fellows

better put a couple

of your lanterns

around this pit so

as to keep any of us

from falling in in the

middle of the night.

Come on, honey, let's

go back to the house.

Martha.

Awake.

Martha Hunter.

Awake.

Awake, Martha.

It is McLane.

Awake.

McLane?

Martha, come to me.

Help me.

Help me.

Martha.

Martha Hunter.

Help me.

Help me.

Martha, help me.

Help me.

Martha.

Come to me.

Jim, but.. what...?

I thought...

So you heard it too?

Yes, it was awful.

McLane's voice.

He called me as plain as day.

Strange, because I only

heard him call my name.

How could the navy

search this whole island

and miss a survivor?

If he is a survivor.

What does that mean? You

heard him as well as I.

Someone could've been

imitating his voice.

Well, who would do that?

I don't know, but I do

know that McLane's dead.

Maybe, maybe not.

I'm going to find out for sure.

Jim, you're not

going down there.

- Yes, I am.

- But Karl's against it.

He's afraid of cave-ins.

I'm not.

Keep this on me till

I'm out of sight.

Jim, you don't know

what's down there.

What could be other than earth,

water, and a few land crabs?

Jim?

Jim.

I see her.

Martha.

Martie.

Oh, she has fainted, no more.

Wh...?

It's all right, honey.

It's all right.

Where's Jim?

He's in the pit.

He went into the pit.

I saw the rope go slack.

He must've fallen

during the quake.

I warned him.

Carson!

Can you hear me?

- Are you alive?

- Dr. Weigand!

My knee, it's broken!

We are coming for you!

Don't try to move!

- No, Jules.

- But we must go down to him.

Not this way.

The rope may be too short.

Then how?

Through the caves.

The great caves to the sea.

But how do you know the

caves connect with the pit?

Gentlemen, for reasons

I have guessed...

Dr. Carson also...

These caves must join the pit,

because the pit was

created from below,

not from the surface.

Dale, take Martha
