Indeed, so amazing was the length of the great sea serpent that only a part of him
had descended through the hole into the dome. Without waiting for the thanks of
those he had rescued, he swiftly retreated to the ocean above, and with grateful
hearts they followed him, glad to leave the cavern where they had endured so
much anxiety and danger.
