Waters Under the Earth

by Anthony M. Rud. This treasure was unearthed from microfilm archives of the Boston Sunday Globe by Victor Berch and submitted to The Pulp Rack by frequent contributor Peter Ruber. The text was transcribed for this story from the February 1 and February 8, 1953 issues of the Boston Sunday Globe Fiction Magazine. Peter notes that it is possibly reprinted from the UK edition of Short Stories for November 1951--which itself was a reprint from a mid-1930s issue of that magazine's U.S. edition. Or, it may have been submitted separately, and there may be textual differences among the three versions.
