There are looks of indecision, tense resolve, and helpless perplexity. Eagerly scanning the arched blue, he notes stellar assurance. Hushed as by cradle-song, every harassing emotion subsides. Some odd, inquisitive conceits grow out of these moods. Gazing from steamer deck into lighted canopy he soliloquizes: "What vigils are those old guards commissioned to keep over this sail?

"And you want to know what's done it? Don't blame you. I suppose you've gone into the possibilities of stellar attraction." "Discount that!" ordered Thornton. "What I want to know is whether it could happen from the inside?" "Why not?" inquired Hooker. "A general shift in the mass would do it. So would the mere application of force at the proper point."
