Meanwhile, somewhere under the sea... perhaps a hundred miles away, Yolanda and the Spirit-of-Flipper who is King-of-Atlantis were just entering the fabled city by way of the gate in the Octopus's Garden 'Neath the Sea. This was more than anything Yolanda could have hoped for. All of her life she had longed for some mystical experience that would trascend that of normal life on earth. Finally, it seemed as though she had struck it lucky. As the porpoise made its way between stately Doric columns, toward the center of the city... it seemed that a shrill and annoying voice was disrupting the magic of the moment...

"Se¤orita!!! Se¤orita!!! Wake up!!! Wake up!!!" the voice shrieked in her ear. Slowly she turned her head away and opened her eyes slightly. She was lying on a sandy beach under a palm tree.
