It was as though the surface of this substance were globular. First one wheel rose, then dipped as the other rose. The plane came to rest on fairly even keel, and the partners, while the motor idled, stared at each other. "Well?" said Eyer, a trace of a grin on his face. "If it'll hold the plane it will hold us. Let's slide into our stratosphere suits and climb out.
Norton, she still showed to all around her that "she hath not yet forgotten Mr. Eyer his fresh Red."
Their eyes were alight, their lips in firm straight lines of resolve, as they dived down upon the invisible obstruction whatever it was from whose surface the telltale updraft came. It was Eyer who made the suggestion: "Let's measure it to see what its plane extent is." "How?" asked Jeter. "Measure it by following the wind disturbance. We travel in one direction until we lose it.
However, this merited just a line on about page sixteen, even of the newspaper closest to the spot where the redskin had seen the column. "Eyer," said Jeter at last, "we've got to start digging into newspaper stories, especially into stories which deal with unusually queer happenings throughout the world.
"We can't see the surface of the thing at all, Lucian," said Eyer. "I'll simply have to feel for it." "Well, you've done that before, too. We can manage all right." Down they dropped. The updraft was now a cushion directly under them. And then their wheels struck something solid. The plane moved forward a few feet with a strange sickening motion.
And that means that the Japanese guards which may be Eurasian guards, after what Sitsumi told us and employees of this unholy crowd, are easily engaged in the preparation of other space ships." "Does this thing seem to have any armament?" asked Eyer. Jeter signified negation with a swift movement of his head. "Their one weapon seems to be the apparatus which causes that ray.
Even Naka's attention was fastened on the five planes and Wang Li's efforts to destroy them. "Gag Naka!" said Jeter. "The keys! In some way we've got to get to our plane. It's barely possible. If we can start the motor.... Hurry! Now, while the whole outfit is watching our friends out there!" Eyer rose and reached for Naka with his right hand. He dared not miss his lunge. He did not.
They'd perhaps discover what had happened to that too. Eyer suddenly slipped and fell, as though he had been walking on a carpet which had been jerked from under his feet. From his almost prone position he looked up at Jeter. Jeter dropped to his knees beside him. Their covered hands played over the surface of their discovery, to find it smooth as glass.
"What could want all those steers, Lucian?" said Eyer softly. "I can't think of anything or anybody disposing of such a bunch on such short notice, except a marching army, a marching column of soldier ants, or all the world's buzzards gathered together at one place. In any case the animals themselves would have created a fuss, would have kicked up so much noise that somebody would have heard.
His huge hand fastened in the throat of their keeper. Nobody neither Sitsumi nor the Three turned as Naka gasped and struggled. Eyer pulled the man back over the table and, his neck thus within reach of both hands, snapped it as he would have broken the neck of a chicken. Jeter was already searching the body for the keys. He found them. Their leg irons were just falling free when Sitsumi turned.
