Journey to the Center of the Earth- entry 3

This book is getting very exciting and I have trouble putting it down at times.  As these explorers continue on their journey, they realize they are 21 miles deep and 150 miles away from Mount Sneffels.  With this information, they concluded that they were somewhere underneath the Atlantic Ocean.  Then they take the next Sunday off and then continue on their journey.  While walking, Henry realizes that his companions are nowhere to be seen.  Henry is really scared and I think this event is very shocking.  He wanders in the endless labyrinth for three days before hering his uncle's precious voice.  They are over 3 miles apart.  So they use sound waves to contact each other and they come to his rescue while he is unconscious.  This book is really great.  Don't you wonder how they got so far apart?  I do.  Chapters 21-25
