"Looks like it," I thought, as I hailed a coming crawler and got in. I said nothing to the man, but I suppose he had noted my glance at my watch before I got into the cab, and, in the hopes of an over-fare, he began lashing his horse across the head and neck. It was this that roused me out of a gloomy reverie, and I pushed up the trap.
Cobra virus, in the minute quantity which the Latrodectus's glands contain, would probably have no appreciable effect upon man; whereas the tiny spider's venom, in the volume injected by the cobra's stroke, would slay a herd of elephants. Were this little-known crawler as large as the common black hunting spider of our gardens and lawns, its bite would be almost invariably fatal.
There was an element of danger in this strange encounter in the dark; it was not meant to be a meeting between fellow explorers. The sound of crawling was not steady. There were long pauses, and Ross became convinced that each rest was punctuated by heavy breathing as if the crawler was finding progress a great and exhausting effort.
She had set herself to verify this supposition by the use of the submarine crawler invented by Doctor Alberto Cassini. By a happy mingling of reasoning and intuition peculiar to her sex she found gold at her first descent, and emerged after three hours' submersion with about two hundredweight of ore containing gold in the unparalleled quantity of seventeen ounces to the ton.
"Of course, he's crooked, but he has his qualities. Anyway, I'd sooner trust him than the invertebrate crawler, Leslie." A day or two later Shackleby called upon Leslie in his offices and with evident surprise received the check Millicent had given to her husband. "I wasn't in any hurry. Have some of your titled relatives in the old country left you a fortune?" he inquired ironically.
"You silly little green crawler, don't you think I know better than you what is good for you? Would you like there to be no rain?" "Yes, I would," said the red-knobbed Samia rebelliously. "Would you?" said the All-Mother to another green crawler, who hung on a near-by limb. "Mother Carey, we have had a wet, cold summer, and the rain has been miserable, but I know you will take care of us."
"I've just received word of a speed-up in the preparations for our attack," he said. "Soon, Corbett soon you will see what will happen to the Solar Guard!" "Bring that dirty little space crawler in here!" Captain Strong had never seen Commander Walters so angry. The cords stood out in his neck and his face was red with fury as he paced up and down the Solar Guard office in Venusport.
And as he thinks, and mentally digests that which a right-minded man would accept as its overwhelmingly kindly tone, his anger rises slowly at first, but ever higher and higher, till it culminates in a bitter, muttered exclamation. "The crawler!" he said under his breath. Suddenly he looked down at the paper, and proceeded to straighten it out.
Dane suspected that his own responses were a trifle sluggish, that while he had not succumbed to that attack, he had been slowed. But with Rip holding the unconscious Medic in his seat, Thorson continued to head the crawler for the tower and its promise of a system wide hearing for their appeal. "There's a P-mobile coming in ahead " Dane was irritated by that warning from Rip.
"We're on the first step right now with this expedition," replied Astro. "A short step," commented Roger. "To us Wolf 359 is a long way off, but when you stack it up against the distance to Regulus, for instance, it's just an inch." "I'd sure like to go to Regulus," said Astro. "So would I," snorted Roger. "But we'd probably wind up with a space crawler like Vidac for a skipper.
