Suddenly, as city after city was brought under the action of the machine, the Ortolians recognizing them with glad exclamations, one swept into view and as they watched, it leapt into the air, a vast column of dust, then twisting, whirling, it fell back in utter, chaotic ruin. Zezdon Fentes staggered back from the screen in horror.

"I have just received a message from Zezdon Fentes that he has an important communication to make, so I will go down to New York instead of to Chicago, if you gentlemen do not mind. Morey will take you to Chicago in the tender, and I can find Zezdon Fentes." Zezdon Fentes' message was brief.

I think Zezdon Fentes will stay here and help you. The others will go with us to their world. There we shall have plenty of work to do, but on the way we are going to stop at Mars and pick up that valuable ship of theirs and make a careful examination for possible new weapons, their system of speed-drive, and their regular space-drive. I'm willing to make a bet right now, that I can guess both.

The Thessians, highly developed minds though they were, were not resistant and they had broken. The Allies, with their different horror-ideas, had been but slightly affected. "We will leave you on Ortol, Zezdon Fentes. We know you have done much, and perhaps your own mind has given a bit. We hope you recover. I think you agree with me, Zezdon Afthen and Inthel?" thought Arcot.

It was, and the ship which had been hanging in the atmosphere over New York, where Zezdon Afthen, Fentes and Inthel had come to it in a taxi-ship, signaled for the crowd to clear away above.

"Ces fentes se sont faites, et ont été remplies, dans la mer; puisque les matières qui les remplissent sont de la classe de ses dépôts très connoissables, et qu'il contiennent des dépouilles marines. Mais ce qui embarrasse alors c'est que les autres filons ne soyent pas dans le même cas. N'est ce point l

The directional devices quickly spotted it as emanating from the third planet of our system. Zezdon Fentes, with my aid, set up some special apparatus, which would pick up strong thoughts and make them visible. We had used this before to see not only what an enemy looked upon, but also what he saw in that curious thing, the eye of the mind, the vision of the past and the future.

The man on the extreme right, as we face them, is Zezdon Fentes of Thought, Zezdon apparently meaning something like professor, or 'First Student of. Those next him are Zezdon Afthen of Physics and Zezdon Inthel of Chemistry." Zezdon Afthen offered them the headsets, and in a moment everyone present was wearing one.

On this I stretched myself on the very edge of the precipice, and looking down upon the beach, and glassy plains of ocean, exclaimed with Martial: "O nemua! O fentes! aolidumque madentis Littus, et acquorcis splendidus Anxur aquis!"

They cannot cross to other worlds, save in small ships driven solely by fire, which the Thessians have called a 'hopelessly inefficient and laughably awkward thing to ride in." "Rockets," grinned Morey. "Our first ship was part rocket." Zezdon Fentes smiled. "But that is all. We have brought you warning, and our plea. Can you help us?" "We cannot answer that. The Interplanetary Council must act.
