Admiral [Ch. 1]
- [first lines]
- Admiral [Ch. 1]: This type of light cruiser is our greatest concern. It is fast and Great Britain has many of them with which to continue the blockade against us. That is why you were summoned herre to witness a demonstration of a new weapon. Are we ready, Doctor?
- Doctor [Ch. 1]: I have here a model of our marine mine. This mine has been treated with a pitchblend concentrate known as "Compound X." To this Compound X I have added one milligram of copper sulphate. You will observe the effect.
- [the mine is attracted to the model of a ship and blows it up on contact]
- His Excellency [Ch. 1]: A magnetic mine! Gentlemen, this weapon is greater than the submarine itself. Explain, Doctor.
- Doctor [Ch. 1]: Gladly. Your Excellency, this is a discovery of a Canadian scientist named Merritt. It's extremely valuable as a cure for infantile paralysis. By adding copper sulphate, the compound becomes highly magnetic as you have seen.
- Admiral [Ch. 1]: Then a mine or torpedo containing the compound aims itself at any steel hulled vessel in that area.
