"You were speaking of the levitating ray," prompted Eyer with swift change to the sidewise whispering. "From what you heard I'm sure it is something invented by Liao Wu, Yung Chan and Wang Li. In so much they have an advantage over Sitsumi. I doubt if there is any love lost among them, beyond the fact that they need one another.
Willing hands rolled their ship out to their own private runway, while Jeter and Eyer made last minute preparations. There was the matter of food, of oxygen necessary so far above the Earth, of clothing. All had been provided for and their last duties were largely those of checking and rechecking, to make sure no fatal errors in judgment had been made. Eyer was to fly the ship in the beginning.
The Downings had hoped to have thriftily two marriages in the family in one day, but the daughter Luce's affairs also halted. She had been enamoured of a Mr. Eyer, an unsuitable match. He had put out to sea, to the Downings' delight, but had returned at an unlucky time when she was on with a fresh suitor. Her mother was much distressed because, though Luce declared she much liked Mr.
We have guns of great power, hurling projectiles of great velocity; but I feel all of that will be more or less useless. The intelligence up there well, it knows everything we know and far more besides, for do any of us know how to strike at the earth from the stratosphere? Therefore our only weapons must be our own intelligence at least that will be the program for Eyer and me.
"What's the purpose of your conference? Who will attend?" "I I well, let us say I had hoped to make you and Eyer available to all interviewers on the eve of your flight into the stratosphere." Jeter hesitated, realizing that the publisher did not wish to tell everything over the telephone. "We'll be right along, sir," he said. It took an hour for them to reach the publisher's office.
It seemed strange to them indeed that Kress should have come back to land on the roof of the two who had promised to follow him into the stratosphere if he didn't return. Very strange indeed. He had returned, though, releasing Jeter and Eyer from their promise. Strangely enough that fact made them all the more determined to go.
You'll remember it broke in the papers simultaneously, in thirty countries of the world!" A cold chill ran down the spine of Tema Eyer. He saw, in a flash, whither Kress' thoughts were tending and when he saw that, it thrilled him, too, for it seemed to be proof of the very thing Kress was saying.
In thus introducing this lovely creature in her ball-costume, I have been somewhat premature, and had best go back to the beginning of the history of my acquaintance with her. Dorothea, then, was the daughter of the celebrated Speck before mentioned. It is one of the oldest names in Germany, where her father's and mother's houses, those of Speck and Eyer, are loved wherever they are known.
This field is alive, Eyer, and if we stand still it will swallow us just as it is swallowing our plane! Let's get in fast; maybe we can still pull free from the stuff and take off." They were racing against time and in the heart of each was the feeling that whatever they did, their efforts would be hopeless. Still, the spinning propeller of their plane gave them strength to hope.
For a moment Jeter had an overpowering desire to grab Eyer, jerk him back to the plane, and take off at top speed. But they couldn't do that, not when the world depended upon them. Had Kress encountered this thing? Perhaps. How must he have felt? He had been alone. These two were moral support for each other. But both were acutely remembering how Kress had come back. And his plane?
