This is a story of intense interest from beginning to end--it deals with the passing of the earth through a water nebula. Cosmo Versal, scientist, became convinced that the earth would be covered with water to a depth of six miles. In other words, the globe would be covered to a depth as great if not greater than occurred in the Biblical deluge. He built an ark and picked his company for the proposed long voyage, taking about 500 of both sexes, and also animals. With the final floating of the ark amidst a torrential flood and what happened to the majority of the people on Earth, will be answered by reading the book. Fully illustrated.
