An escarpment of rock, where the road-bed was slashed into a hillside in a sharp turn, struck by the concentrated fire of automatics, appeared to have been beaten by thousands of sharp-headed hammers, leaving a pile of chips and dust.
Behind it stalked Gurgurk, the Konkrookan equivalent of Prime Minister or Grand Vizier; he wore a gold helmet and a thing like a string-vest made of gold wire, and carried a long sword with a two-hand grip, a pair of Terran automatics built for a hand with six-four-knuckled fingers, and a pair of matched daggers.
"They used energy beams ... didn't land until it was all over." "I knew there was something wrong when the camp didn't answer our enter-atmosphere signal," Thorvald said absently. "Then one of those platters jumped us on braking orbit, and my pilot was killed. When we set down on the automatics here I had just time to rig a surprise for any trackers before I took to the hills "
"Stand still!" thundered De Launay and she stiffened automatically. His hands had dropped from the doorway and now they seemed to snap upward with incredible speed and in them were two squat and heavy automatics, their grizzly muzzles sweeping like the snap of a whip to a line directly at herself, as it seemed. Two shots again rocked her with their concussion.
And he read from the telegram: "Mastertons gunsmiths sold last July pair of Browning automatics identical with that found on Parrish to Jeekes who paid with Parrish's cheque." The message was signed "Manderton." At that moment a man wearing a black bowler hat and a heavy frieze overcoat came hurrying out of the hotel. "Mr.

Automatics spat their leaden hail, dynol pellets flamed redly, and over all resounded the rapid drum fire of the machine gun, pouring steel-jacketed death into the confused ranks of the Mercutians. The monster invaders had lost their heads.
The enemy also fired, but their nerves were so unsteady at this unexpected rush that the bullets went wild. Fighting was too close now to bring revolvers into play, so Jack used his automatics as clubs. A man toppled over before a powerful blow. Frank now came to Jack's aid. He poked his revolver into one man's back and commanded: "Hands up!" The command was obeyed on the instant.
But from the man's general build, the lad felt certain that he had picked the right man. He motioned Captain Glenn and Williams to step close. Frank drew a previously prepared gag from his pocket and bent over the sleeper. Captain Glenn presented the muzzles of a pair of automatics squarely at the man, and Williams stooped over, armed with a length of rope.
Unless you call on the radio, in which case we come in with the automatics going and shoot the place up, and it doesn't matter who we hit. This will be done only as a last resort." "See if you can't arrange that last resort thing," the other guard said, patting the heavy blue barrel of his weapon. "I meant that last resort," Brion said angrily.
"Hans is sitting on one of the sailors and Jack and Jimmie are holding the others back with their automatics." Both boys leaped out. The sailors, doubtless alarmed at the arrival of the leaders, sprang for the hatchway. The boys did not fire at them as they passed, and directly splashes in the sea told those on the stairs that the sailors had leaped into the water.
