The place is Earth--in a way. The project: build a tunnel over four thousand miles in length, intended to sustain a pressure of one thousand atmospheres while accommodating cargo and passengers traveling in excess of a thousand miles per hour. The Transatlantic Tunnel will be the greatest engineering feat in the history of the British Empire, a structure worthy of Her Majesty's Empire in this, the eighth decade of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf the project is a success, the credit will belong to Captain Augustine Washington, the most brilliant engineer of our age.
