The Sea Girl by Ray Cummings
A little while back, I had some words to say concerning Garrett P. Serviss’ truly excellent apocalyptic novel The Second Deluge, which was originally released in 1911.

Well, now I am here to tell you about another Radium Age wonder, with precisely the opposite scenario.
