We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
of toothed steel ; acid vats, boiling oil and the operating table where the crazy doctor kills to further his insane experiments.
Dangers lurking in the shadows. The impenetrable dark of alleys and hallways at night; underground dives and Apache dens ; what horrors they conceal !
Shadows on the rotting walls of the haunted house ; shadowy figures moving among the trees at night; the lone window alight in the mist-enveloped tower of the castle ; the shadowy stair wells ; furniture trapped in dust and spider webbing ; creaking stairs, rattling of chains, doors opened by invisible hands; fireplaces and walls that open wide and close silently on the heels of the quaking heroine.
Underground menaces: The slimy caverns and passageways, coal damp, rock dust, cave-ins, crashing supports, flooded chambers, flaming air shafts, premature explosions, runaway trains of coal, rock and slag; faulty lifts and cables that snap and dash their human cargo into the depths.
Underseas' menaces: The submarine crashing into an unsuspected shoal or an enemy craft or the failure of vital machinery, the crew imprisoned at the bottom of the sea to die of suffocation. The deep sea divers, the leaking airlines, treachery at the pumps, the menace of octopi and devil fish ; underwater battles with sharks, giant eels and giant clams; and the numerous terrifying marine monsters lurking in the black interiors of rotting hulls.
In one movie, two brothers, seamen, loved the same girl; the sea becoming the added menace. Ever threatening to remove one of the contestants it finally settled for an arm given up by one of the brothers on a whaling trip. That misfortune, however, instead of endearing him to the girl through pity caused her to gradually transfer her affections to the brother with no parts missing.
Menaces in the air: Ice forming on the wings, the leaky oil line, faulty engines and structural deficiencies; fog, head winds, rain, lightning, the diminishing gas that will barely get the hero to an emergency field ; the sputtering motor, one engine going dead, then the other, and the dead stick landing on a mountain side.
