...their fear, they suffered hallucinations: once, both thought they saw two men with them in the cavern; Fellin and Throne called for a light and the men vanished. Another time they saw a door rimmed in blue light, with marble steps behind. At one point Throne screamed: "Davy, I'm going home! I'm going alone if you don't want to come."

...claimed reportedly that weapons detonated by the United States have gone undetected, and variably the AEC claims were proved false by seismological stations thousands of miles from the test sites. The Rand Corporation held that if a weapon were detonated in a large cavern the blast might escape detection, but this theory has also been disproven. In the face of new detection advances, Arthur E.

Teacher Foote has spotted the malpractice as far back as a rare 16th century book that describes Fingal's Cave in the Hebrides as having cavern-nesse. So perhaps, as George Eliot put it, "Men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness...
