PAGE 14 (Four panels)
Panel 1: Hazel in interview pose, now slumped backwards.
Hazel (1): And she wasn’t the only one. Two more of us also disappeared in almost exactly the same way.
Translation (1): И она была не единственной. Еще двое из нас исчезли почти таким же образом.
Panel 2: A fat folder containing official reports, sealed and with a large stenciled word CLASSIFIED stamped across it.
CAPTION – HAZEL NARRATING (2): The Navy ordered us not to talk about it. They said it would be bad for morale.
Translation (2): Руководство ВМФ запретило нам говорить об этом. Нам сказали, что это может подорвать боевой дух.
CAPTION – HAZEL NARRATING (3): People asked fewer questions about orders back then, you know.
Translation (3): Как вы знаете, в те времена люди были менее склонны обсуждать приказы.
Panel 3: A panel showing the Bride’s dive in the water, as if taken from the Scelleratini film of 1905, a split second after the scene on Page 5, Panel 4 above, such that the Bride has broken the surface of the water, and has submerged down to her waist.
CAPTION – HAZEL NARRATING (4): I tried not to think of it much myself, but in the late 1970s, I think, I saw a film clip of film made by some Italian people of the same place from long, long ago. I think it was on PBS late at night.
Translation (4): Я сама старалась не думать об этом слишком много, однако в конце 70-х я случайно увидела отрывок из фильма, снятого какими-то итальянцами в этом месте давно-давно назад. Кажется, это показывали по PBS поздно ночью.
Panel 4: A panel showing a front page of the Dallas Morning News for Tuesday, October 6, 1981. A large part of the front page would be a posed formal picture of PHOEBE PETROBUX (a very pretty and probably blond teenager, who we’ll see more of below) under the headline TEXAS TEEN STILL MISSING IN SOUTH PACIFIC. (Possible filler headlines, taken from real world history for that day that could be included for verisimilitude, could be RAOUL WALLERBERG MADE HONORARY U.S. CITIZEN and REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON INDICTED FOR TAX EVASION).
CAPTION – HAZEL NARRATING (5): And then we all read that terrible story about the poor girl from Texas.
Translation (5): А затем мы все узнали эту ужасную историю о несчастной девушке из Техаса.
