Had I been testing the large, instead of the small motor, there would have been nothing left of the Annihilator, or us, either. Who could have done this? If that crazy machinist is around again " "I don't believe he could get here from Mars," interrupted Jack, with a smile. "Hardly," added Mark. "No, I guess he is still on the Red Planet, so it couldn't have been him," went on Mr. Roumann.
Henderson, "if we went we would easily get lost amid these peaks ourselves, and they are so much alike and in such numbers that there is no distinguishing feature about them. We had better stay here in charge of the Annihilator until the boys and Andy come back. They can't be away much longer now."
Hard by, in the clock-tower of the square, is a marble tablet erected to the memory of the deputy Felice Cavalotti. We all remember Cavalotti, the last with Imbriani of the republican giants, a blustering rhetorician-journalist, annihilator of monarchs and popes; a fire-eating duellist, who deserved his uncommon and unlovely fate.
The Etherium motor is working better than I dared to hope. It is perfect!" As they were constantly in the glare of the sun, there was no night for those aboard the Annihilator, and they had to select an arbitrary time for going to bed. When any one wanted to retire, he went to the bunk-room, which was kept dark, and there slumbered.
"Because we will not dare travel at such terrific speed as one hundred miles a second through the atmosphere of the earth. We would be burned into cinders by the mere friction of the air. Therefore, I shall send the Annihilator comparatively slowly through the earth's atmosphere, and perhaps I will find that I shall have to do the same thing when we near Mars.
True to its name, Abu Road furnished us the road to Abu Mountain. Again we proceeded by motor-car, that great annihilator of distance in a foreign land. This road, in its gradual ascent, is a noble piece of engineering. It is exceedingly tortuous, for it follows the contour of the mountain in marvelously skilful curves.
That they are not without a sense of humor in these efforts, the following, printed as advertisements in the Circular, will show: GRAND FIRE ANNIHILATOR! AN INVENTION for overcoming Evil with Good MEEK & LOWLY. TO JEWELERS. A SINGLE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE! This inestimable Jewel may be obtained by application to Jesus Christ, at the extremely low price of "all that a man hath!"
Also, if the gas is flaming, you can easily imagine what would happen to the Annihilator. There would be nothing left of it or us in less than an instant." "But isn't there some way of escaping it?" asked Mark. "I'm going to try," responded Mr. Roumann. "Jack, ask Professor Henderson to step here. I wish to consult him." Jack delivered the message, and it was overheard by Washington White.
The projectile was now being drawn toward the moon by the gravity force of the dead ball that once had been a world like ours. Slowly and more slowly moved the great projectile. There was a moment of suspense. Mr. Henderson threw over the steering wheel. The Annihilator moved more slowly. Then came a gentle shock. The dishes in the galley rattled, and there was the clank of machinery.
Only the glow of the sun remained. The Annihilator shot onward. Mr. Roumann rushed to the pilot house. He uttered a cry. "We have escaped the comet!" he called to the boys and Professor Henderson, who followed him. "We went right through a small section of the tail. And I was mistaken in thinking it was composed of flaming gases. It is only nebulous light. There is no harm in a comet, after all!"
