Arcot stopped the ship and held it motionless at ten miles while Wade made his chemical analysis of the air. The report looked favorable; plenty of oxygen and a trace of carbon dioxide mixed with nitrogen. "But the water vapor!" Wade said. "The air is saturated with it! It won't be the heat, but the humidity that'll bother us to coin a phrase."
It happened that Sonor and New York had been in opposition at midnight two nights ago, which meant that it was now ten o'clock Sonorian time. The result was that Arcot left the car to speak to the officer in charge of the guard about the ship. "We need some pure water water free of copper salts. I think it would be best if you can get me some water that has been distilled. That is, for drinking.
Of the existence of this debt the Directors heard nothing until 1776, and they say, that, "although they had repeatedly written to the Nabob of Arcot, and to their servants, respecting the debt, yet they had never been able to trace the origin thereof, or to obtain any satisfactory information on the subject."
"If he could do that at arm's length," Wade said thoughtfully, "what could he do if he really tried?" "Why don't you try and see?" Fuller asked sweetly. "I can think of easier but probably no quicker ways of committing suicide," Wade replied. Arcot laughed and, looking at Torlos, projected the general meaning of the last remarks. Torlos joined them in the laugh.
At last, they halted a quarter of a mile from the Earth ship. A single ship detached itself from the mass and advanced to within a few hundred feet of the Ancient Mariner. Quickly, Arcot jumped to his feet. "Morey, take the controls. Evidently they want to parley, not fight. I'm going over there." He ran the length of the corridor to his room and put on his power suit.
"No, we didn't want to hurt them," Arcot thought. "We destroyed the ray building only in self defense." "I understand." Despite obvious mental efforts, Torlos positively radiated a feeling of relief! "Are you at war with that world?" Arcot asked coolly. "The two worlds have been at war for many generations," Torlos said, then quickly changed the subject.
Arcot shut off the motors and rose with a broad, relieved smile, "Easy!" he said. They made their way again up through the ship, up through the room of the tremendous cylinder coil, and then into the power room. Now the machines were quiet, for the motors were no longer working. "Arcot, you didn't shut off the biggest machine of all down there. How come?" "I couldn't, Wade.
By another section of the same act, the same Court of Directors were ordered to take into consideration and to decide on the indeterminate rights of the Rajah of Tanjore and the Nabob of Arcot; and in this, as in the former case, no power of appeal, revision, or alteration was reserved to any other.
Not far from Pentland are the new buildings of Voorhees College belonging to the Arcot Mission of the Dutch Reformed Church. For the resent, the Medical School has the loan of its lecture rooms and laboratories in the early morning hours before the boys' classes begin. That means seven o'clock classes, and previous to that for most of the students a mile walk from the town dormitory.
Arcot opened the heavy relux door, leading the way into the next room, which was twice the size of the power room. The center of the floor was occupied by a heavy pedestal of lux metal upon which was a huge, relux-encased, double torus storage coil.
