Want to see some of your little friends again? If you do, I'll give them a shot and bring them out." "Heavens, no! I saw them once if I never see them again, that will be twenty minutes too soon!" "All right we'll grab us a piece of this ledge and beat it." Seaton lowered the vessel to the ledge, focussed the main anchoring attractor upon it, and threw on the zone of force.
He finally figured out the exact ray that did it, and found out that if it is made strongly enough, it acts as if a repeller and attractor were working together only so much stronger that nothing can get through the boundary, either way in fact, it's so strong that it cuts anything in two that's in the way.
Seaton, keeping close behind it, remarked to Crane: "He'll have to flatten out pretty quick, or he'll burst something, sure." But it did not flatten out. It struck the soft ground head foremost and disappeared, its tentacles apparently boring a way ahead of it. Astonished at such an unlooked-for development, Seaton brought the Skylark to a stop and stabbed into the ground with the attractor.
"You intend starting open war upon your return?" "The war started when I tried to pick off the women with my attractor. That is why I am leaving at midnight. He always goes to bed at eleven-thirty, and I will be out of range of his object-compass before he wakes up. Seaton and I understand each other perfectly.
The old bus wouldn't have, but this one can stand anything. We can go anywhere that thing can, that's a cinch. If we have enough power on, we probably won't even feel a jolt when we strike ground." Seaton reduced the force acting upon the animal until just enough was left to keep the attractor upon it, and it again dived into the swamp.
The hemisphere of "X" and the fragment of the Kondal which bore the salt were held immovably in place by the main attractor and one auxiliary; and many other auxiliaries held sections of the Fenachrone vessel.
With one arm about her, he hastily led the way across the dock toward the Skylark, choosing the path with care because of the yawning holes blown into the structure by the terrific force of the explosions. The Skylark was still in place, held immovable by the attractor, but what a sight she was!
After Seaton had anchored the vessel immovably by means of the attractor, the party disembarked, Seaton remarking with a grin: "Don't be surprised at anything I do, folks. I'm a walking storehouse of junk of all kinds, so that if occasion arises I can put on a real exhibition." As they turned toward their host, a soldier, in his eagerness to see the strangers, jostled another.
"We take one trick, anyway!" blazed Seaton, as he threw on the power of the attractor and diffused its force into a screen over the party, so that the enemy could not materialize in the air above them and crush them by mere weight.
He was held motionless in the invisible grip of the attractors, at the point where the force of those peculiar magnets was exactly balanced by the outward thrust of the repellers. By manipulating the attractor holding it, Seaton brought the strange tubular weapon into the control-room through a small air-lock in the wall and examined it curiously, but did not touch it.
