| "In
the beginning of time as the gasses cooled, the
planet Earth became covered with |
| oceans. |
| As the
waters receded and continents were formed, life
moved from the water to the land. |
| From this
primeval slime 150 million years ago came a
Creature so horrible as to be |
| unbelievable. |
| At least
ten feet tall, it was neither fish nor human but
a hideous combination of both. Instead |
| of hands
and feet it had long webbed claws. It was
completely covered with scales. |
| Down the
center of its back was a double row of fins. Its
head was ghastly to behold. |
| The eye's
were without benefit of eyelids. |
| The mouth
was a wide slash across the face, constantly
pulsating. |
| There was
no real nose. |
| Where ears
should have been there were gills throbbing like
the mouth. |
| |
| As the
earth went through its many upheavals the
Creature dropped back into the slime. |
| Millions
of years passed and it remained in a suspended
state. |
| Then, from
the time of the ancient Greeks tales of a
dreadful sea monster came down |
| through
the centuries. |
| These
tales were attributed to the overactive
imaginations of superstitious sailors. |

| |
| A group of
oceanographers went to the Black Lagoon in the
steaming Amazon jungle in |
| search of
rare fish and plant-life. |
| They
pulled up their fishing nets only to find them
hopelessly torn. |
| Donning
oxygen tanks, two of the men went into the water
to investigate. |
| Suddenly,
from the forbidding depths came a hideous being. |
| The
Creature of the legends had again risen from the
slime. |
| The divers
drew their spear-guns but were powerless against
its savage attack. |
| With a
brutal swipe of its clawed fin the Creature broke
the neck of one diver. |
| The other
diver barely escaped a similar fate. |
| |
| The other
members of the group found an alternate entrance
to the cave on shore. |
| Armed with
pistols and rifles they climbed down into it. |
| As their
eyes became accustomed to the gloom the rescue
party saw their companions. |
| Disregarding
warnings the rescuers scrambled over the slippery
rocks. |
| From
around a boulder the Creature appeared. |
| The men
fired at it. Bullets were far more effective than
spears. |
| A vile
substance oozed from the wounds. |
| For a time
it looked like the Creature would attack. |
| Instead it
climbed out of the cave. |
| The men
pursued it through the jungle. |
| It was
fantastic that anything could have survived but,
undaunted, the Creature continued to |
| the sea. |
| |
| They
watched as the Creature swam out and then
disappeared beneath the water. |
| Who would
believe what they had seen? |
| You may. |
| Someday,
as you look at the ocean water and hear a
splashing, and see a fish, |
| look
closer. Then run for your life." |
