When Alex regained memory again he was very weak because he had been lost for 4 days,.The next morning he woke up,  and he heard something, They were the waves and the wind. Alex thought it was a hallucination.

The next  day, when he could open his eyes, he did not believe that the ocean was in front of him with a  deeply indented shore  lined with a breadth of fine shining sand, softly lapped by the waves.

Alex thought of the theory of an English captain, who likened the earth to a vast hollow sphere, in the interior of which the air became luminous because of the vast pressure that weighed upon it .

Finally he realized they were the only living creatures in this subterranean world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
