Attack of the Crab Monsters Page #5

It stopped.

Whatever it was must've

damaged the wiring.

Light one of the kerosene

lamps, will you, honey?

Here's your motive.

Food.

But not much, considering the size

of the thing that did all of this.

I guess there's no point in

waiting for the rest to get back.

The storm should've let up enough for

me to get through to the navy now.

Come on.

Oh, Dale.

Whatever it was that did this

deliberately

destroyed the radio.

It had to be deliberate.

Every piece of wiring has been

ripped out and chopped to bits.

Look.

Every tube has been

sliced neatly in half.

And it had to reach

way inside to do it

without wrecking these cabinets.

Well, all I can say is,

why wasn't I invited

to the party?

Not funny, eh?

Well, that's as it should be.

Do you think you can fix it?

Fix it?

I'll need a whole new

outfit from the bottom up.

You have parts?

Enough to build a new one?

I don't know.

Why do you suppose it didn't

come through the door

and get us, Karl?

I don't know.

I can only guess.

It would take considerable power

to keep the intruder

behind this door.

There is power in the

lighting in the living room.

You mean it's afraid

of electricity?

I think so.

Have you any other ideas?

Once upon a time,

there was a mountain.

Hmm?

Yesterday, when we

came to this island,

there was a mountain out there.

Today there's no mountain.

I am not surprised.

You're not surprised at

anything, are you, doctor?

I suppose you can tell us what

tore up this room last night.

No, I cannot tell you that.

But I can tell you this:

Everything that has happened

from the death of

the first sailor

to the destruction of our radio

must be somehow related.

They are too far from the

normal scheme of things to be

separate accidents.

If there is a single cause,

then that cause is outside

of nature as we know it.

Yes, that is why I insisted on

caution entering the caves.

We are unquestionably on the

brink of a great discovery.

It is not likely that that discovery

will be of a pleasant nature.

That is the sum of my knowledge.

If you need more, I suggest

you ask Dr. McLane,

when next his voice

calls in the night.

Now, let us again

seek Dr. Carson.

I don't understand this.

We've covered every exit

in the base of the pit.

Wounded as he was, he couldn't

have crawled this far.

Yet, still no sign of him.

Nor will be, eh, Karl?

Deveroux! Get close

to the walls!

- Something to tie it with.

- Top of my pack, Karl.

Here, you'll need

a tourniquet too.

Hello, there. Anybody alive?

He all right?

How did you know

we were in here?

We didn't; We were on the

other side of the island.

Well, what used to be the

other side of the island.
