He called on the Lindner every time he needed something with the power of a battle cruiser, and he praised her highly in the mock-serious arguments Rangers had with each other about the merits of their chosen ships even over the performance of such a simple maneuver as the retrieval of body-return containers. Tarlac had often wondered about the puzzle those containers presented.
I had thought it all out, but to no avail because the carbon dioxide produced by our breathing permeated every part of the ship. To absorb it, we would need to fill containers with potassium hydroxide and shake them continually. But this substance was missing on board and nothing else could replace it.
About three o'clock Roger suddenly slipped backward and lay sprawled on the sand. Tom opened one of the containers of water and dipped his shirttail into it. Astro watched him moisten Roger's lips and wipe his temples. In a few moments the cadet stirred and opened his eyes. "I I don't know what happened," he said slowly. "Everything started swimming and then went black."
The admiral said through stiff lips, "I'll blast " "No," said Calhoun, again gently. "When you ordered all ships alerted for action, the Darians on each ship released panic gas. They only needed tiny, pocket-sized containers of the gas for the job. They had them. They only needed to use air tanks from their sag-suits to protect themselves against the gas. They kept them handy.
"Take a look at the fuel gauge." "It it says zero! But that's impossible. We saw the tanks filled last night." "Sure, and when we took off this morning the gauge showed they were still full.

"Hurray!" cried Ned, forgetting that he could not be heard, for no head telephones were used on this occasion and the roar of the motor would drown any human voice. "It's working, Tom!"

Besides, it's in the cellar. It's the carbide I'm most worried about. We daren't use water." "But something will have to be done!" exclaimed Mr. Damon. "Bless my red necktie, if we don't "

The heating was done in the jars in the usual canning way for several minutes after 175° was reached, to be sure the contents were heated through. Renewing Olive Trees. I have olive trees on first-class land; no pest of any kind is apparent.
