Covers his life in 'the South Seas' where he was later captured and brought to Java by the Japanese during the Pacific War. He invented and patented a full-face diving mask, (the Victor Berge mask), and 'one of the few men to have survived a fight with a giant squid' (see illustration on this page by Armstrong Sperry, from the August 1930 issue of St. Nicholas Magazine for Children (Volume 57, No. 10, p. 751), which accompanied the story, "The Terror of the Deep", co-authored by Victor Berge and Henry Wysham Lanier). One of the early classics of diving literature.
