Tube done, we'll take him out into space, leaving his mouth open, and very shortly he'll be as empty as a flapper's skull. Then we'll seal him up, flash him out, come back here, and start spilling our troubles into Brandon's shell-like ear!" "Wonderful, Steve! You do get an idea occasionally, don't you? But how do we get out there? Where is this Cantrell's Comet?"
Often it has a hyperbolic orbit, which would make it impossible to come back. Yet it may return apparently contradicting the geometry of conic sections. This only goes to prove once more that it is risky to say anything is impossible even that our hero of this story manages beautifully, with the aid of Cantrell's Comet, to avoid complete annihilation while stranded in interstellar space.
They start for Cantrell's Comet, where Stevens acquires the necessary material for his giant transmitting tube, heads back to Ganymede, when their ship is cut, top and bottom, by a strong ray-beam. Stevens and Nadia soon find that the other ship is manned by friendly beings from Saturn. Together they plan against their common foes the Hexans who are enemies of the universe.
Cantrell's Comet swings about fifty million kilometers outside Jupiter's orbit at aphelion close enough for us to reach, and yet probably too far for them to find us easily. By the time we get back here, they probably will have quit looking for us, if they look at all. Then too, I expect these savages to follow us up. What say, little ace do we try it or do we stay here?" "You know best, Steve.
"I'm big enough to be in my own way a good deal of the time. I believe I could muddy Sim Cantrell's back for him now, at arm-holts." But there was still a question in the black eyes. "Where's your preacher's coat, Tom-Jeff? I was allowin' you'd be wearin' it nex' time we met up."
Darting the beam here and there, he so corrected their flight that they were precisely stationary in relation to the comet. He then opened his switches, and the Forlorn Hope hurtled on. Apparently motionless, it was now a part of Cantrell's Comet, traveling in a stupendous, elongated ellipse about the Master of our Solar System, the Sun. "There, ace, who said anything about weight-fiends?
