| 520 | _a"The Man Who Found Out" by Roger D. Aycock is a science fiction novella published in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a cynical journalist named Fortenay, who is tasked with covering the investigation of a mysterious artifact discovered deep in the ocean. The narrative explores themes of skepticism and hubris, contrasting Fortenay's arrogance with that of the scientist Dr. Hans Weigand, who is determined to uncover the truth behind his findings. In the tale, Fortenay boards the oceanographic survey ship Cormorant, eager to expose what he believes will be a scientific fraud. As the two descend into the depths of Bartlett Deep in a bathysphere, Fortenay's arrogance is challenged by the darkness of the ocean and the ominous artifact looming ahead. When the bathysphere ultimately succumbs to the pressure of the abyss, the journalist unexpectedly finds himself thrust into a mythic realm alongside Weigand, where reality and legend converge. The novella culminates in Fortenay's realization of his own mortality and the consequences of his dismissive attitude towards the unknown, as they encounter a door that leads to what is ominously referred to as "Davy Jones' Locker."
