...writer is convinced that John Stink never lived in a tree. It was his custom to hang his few utensils in a tree when he left a hideout. In fact this writer was once a member of a young hunting party that shot holes through his crude...
...grounds. The royalties they brought furnished most of the $1,000,000 which transformed New London's old wooden schoolhouse into one of the finest rural educational plants in the U. S. Still intact were the model home economics kitchens, playgrounds, sewing rooms, laboratories, built by the black crude oil that bubbles richly under the East Texas soil. Natural gas heated the individual classroom radiators in the Consolidated School.

After Mrs. Dorgan has told the truth about this situation, Jack goes out to rescue Bob who is wrecked in the submarine Nautilus at a depth of 300 ft. Barring some crude miniature shots, the sequences dealing with the wreck and the rescue are so interesting technically that they compensate to a large extent for the bromidic situations and embarrassingly obvious dialog which lay the ground for them. Noteworthy is the photographic exposition of the inventions for the safety of undersea craft...
