Heracles sought him in vain, and the answer of Hylas to his thrice-repeated cry was lost in the depths of the water.

 "Sand Into Glass" by Luke Taylor
Hylas followed wordlessly, conscious of the eyes of the prison population burning into him as he trudged away from the grit and sand and into the clean, cool execution room.
Hylas thought of his father, vague memories of lab coats, bristly hugs full of stubble, strange chemicals and that night with the materia fireworks up in sector three when he'd ridden on his dad's shoulders as the rockets flew up and almost touched the plate before exploding in rainbow fountains of shimmering colour.
Hylas thought it quite ironic that as soon as he escaped from prison that he was condemned to another death sentence.

 "Hylas in the Classical Style" by Stefanie E. Dittert

Meanwhile Hylas took a bronze pitcher and went off on his own, in quest of a sacred running spring, that he might before his return draw for him water for his dinner and get all else ready and in good order for him at suppertime.

 Berkeley - Commentary
Hylas replies: "Whatever degree of heat we perceive by sense, we may be sure the same exists in the object that occasions it." Philonous asks about the extremes -- "the greatest as well as the least?" Hylas insists that with the greatest we are even more certain of its real existence.
Hylas responds by claiming that he should not have agreed to the truth of the first premise of the argument -- that intense heat is a great pain.
Hylas is at last forced to make the distinction between primary and secondary qualities, and Philonous tells him the strategy he is going to follow to show that the distinction is not tenable.

Tell me, Hylas, is this real existence equally compatible to all degrees of heat, which we perceive; or is there any reason why we should attribute it to some, and deny it to others?
Have patience, good Hylas; and tell me once more, whether there is anything immediately perceived by the senses, except sensible qualities.
I acknowledge, Hylas, it is not difficult to form general propositions and reasonings about those qualities, without mentioning any other; and, in this sense, to consider or treat of them abstractedly.

Likewise, your term "material substratum" was borne of your imagination, not by reference to perception of an independent reality, so it must always refer to a fiction.
