The next day, the games begin on schedule, but Locksley calls everyone to his ship to look at new pictures of the monster that his minisub's sunken, yet somehow still working, camera had taken, at a depth well below what a ramshackle homemade submarine like Pembrooke's could survive. These, plus three other photos that Pembrooke had taken several days earlier are enough to convince him that the monster might be real.
On the subsequent day, the games start as scheduled, but Locksley gathers everyone on his ship to view new photographs of the creature captured by his minisub's sunken yet still operational camera. This depth is far beyond what a dilapidated homemade submarine like Pembrooke's could handle. These photos, along with three others taken earlier in the week, are enough to make him believe that the monster might be real.
