Still in the science fiction fad, this one has the Flash fighting another group of underwater dwellers.
An astronaut's shuttle crashes in the ocean. It is found ten days later, which is a problem as the astronaut only had three days of air, but aside from some missing time he's perfectly alright.
The Flash investigates, and a group of people called the Saremites (who would show up again in Justice League of America I#90), who live peacefully under the sea. Pity about the Maugites, their next door neighbors.
Thankfully the Flash is there to teach them some violence and with their crude bows and arrows they manage to drive the invaders off. Of course the Maugites seem to have firearms, while the Saremites only have arrows, so I suspect any future conflicts are not going to end well.
