"Listen!" he exclaimed.

As I adjusted the ear phones I heard that which we had never
before received on the Gridley wave--code! No wonder that
Jason Gridley was excited, since there was no station on
earth, other than his own, attuned to the Gridley wave.

Code! What could it mean? I was torn by conflicting
emotions--to tear off the ear phones and discuss this amazing
thing with Jason, and to keep them on and listen.

I am not what one might call an expert in the intricacies
of code, but I had no difficulty in understanding the simple
signal of two letters, repeated in groups of three, with a
pause after each group: "D.I., D.I., D.I.," pause; "D.I.,
D.I., D.I.," pause.

I glanced up at Jason. His eyes, filled with puzzled
questioning, met mine, as though to ask, what does it mean?

The signals ceased and Jason touched his own key, sending
his initials, "J.G., J.G., J.G." in the same grouping that
we had received the D.I. signal. Almost instantly he was
interrupted--you could feel the excitement of the sender.

"D.I., D.I., D.I., Pellucidar," rattled against our ear-drums
like machine gun fire. Jason and I sat in dumb amazement,
staring at one another.

"It is a hoax!" I exclaimed, and Jason, reading my lips,
shook his head.

"How can it be a hoax?" he asked. "There is no other station
on earth equipped to send or to receive over the Gridley
wave, so there can be no means of perpetrating such a hoax."

Our mysterious station was on the air again! "If you get
this, repeat my signal," and he signed off with "D.I., D.I.,
D.I."

"That would be David Innes," mused Jason.

"Emperor of Pellucidar," I added.

Jason sent the message, "D.I., D.I., D.I.," followed by,
"what station is this," and "who is sending?"

"This is the Imperial Observatory at Greenwich, Pellucidar;
Abner Perry sending. Who are you?"

"This is the private experimental laboratory of Jason
Gridley, Tarzana, California; Gridley sending," replied
Jason.

"I want to get into communication with Edgar Rice Burroughs;
do you know him?"

"He is sitting here, listening in with me," replied Jason.

"Thank God, if that is true, but how am I to know that it
is true?" demanded Perry.

I hastily scribbled a note to Jason: "Ask him if he recalls
the fire in his first gunpowder factory and that the building
would have been destroyed had they not extinguished the
fire by shoveling his gunpowder onto it?"

Jason grinned as he read the note, and sent it.

"It was unkind of David to tell of that," came back the
reply, "but now I know that Burroughs is indeed there, as
only he could have known of that incident. I have a long
message for him. Are you ready?"

"Yes," replied Jason.

"Then stand by."

And this is the message that Abner Perry sent from the
bowels of the earth; from The Empire of Pellucidar.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/discern-report-bias/

I'd be astonished if Lynn actually thought this was a Symmes Hole
type situation. Discern Report way over sensationalized the
story, but they didn't make it up out of whole cloth:
you can track it back to IFL Science:

https://www.iflscience.com/antarctica-has-a-gravity-hole-and-now-we-know-how-it-grew-in-strength-over-30-million-years-ago-82581

thence to a statement from the University of Florida: https://news.ufl.edu/2026/02/antarctic-gravity-hole/

and finally to an article in Nature:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-28606-1

Yes, there's a gravitational anomaly they're calling
a 'gravity hole' in the UFL statement.

If Lynn wants to make Hollow Earth jokes with this as
a basis, I don't see a problem.

If less dense rock underlies an area, the gravity level above it is
slightly reduced, and the sea level becomes depressed as it flows
to areas with higher gravity.

ItrCOs the other way: if the gravity is reduced, the sea level will be
higher.

The flow is about equalization of pressure. Less gravity raA less pressure.

I found the explanation difficult to follow, but:

from https://news.ufl.edu/2026/02/antarctic-gravity-hole/

"Caused by different densities of rock far beneath the EarthrCOs surface, these variations in gravity are small in absolute terms. But they can
have particularly large effects on the oceans. Where gravity is weaker,
the ocean surface can sit slightly lower relative to EarthrCOs center
because water flows away toward areas of stronger gravity. Due to its
gravity hole, the sea-surface height around Antarctica is measurably
lower than it would otherwise be."

Think of how ocean tides work: high tide is where the net EarthrCOs pull
on the water is weaker, because the Moon is counteracting more of it.

What is a ogravity holeo? If it has something to do with the absence
of gravity, then surely there must be an absence of mass as well. So
how can it be omassiveo?

I would understand "massive" here to actually mean "very very large".

It does indeed.

OK, forget the reason I gave based on the tides -- thatrCOs wrong.
HererCOs a more logical explanation.

Think of two columns of water in the ocean, side by side. At any given
depth on the border between them the pressure on both sides must be
equal -- otherwise there would be a net flow of water across the
boundary at that point, since there is no wall between them to prevent
that.

That pressure on each side depends on the weight of the water on the corresponding side above that depth. Which in turn depends on the
height of the column above that depth, and on the gravitational pull
on that column.

So if one side experiences lower gravity, then the column must be
taller on that side. The side experiencing higher gravity will have a
shorter column. If the two columns were the same height, then the
pressure would be higher on the side with higher gravity, and water
would flow across to the other side until the pressures were
equalized.

Does that make it clearer?
