"Yeah," said Roger, "then we'll send him one big flash to mean we failed! Bon voyage!" Fifteen minutes later, as the Lady Venus drifted in her silent but deadly orbit, Tom, Roger and Astro still worked feverishly as the Geiger counter ticked off the increasing radioactivity of the wildcatting reaction mass in number-three rocket tube.
There was also a headset, and something very much like a large aluminum fish on the end of the line. "You know Geiger counters?" called the pilot. "Stick on these headphones and listen!" Joe slipped on the headset. The pilot threw a switch and Joe heard clickings. They had no pattern and no fixed frequency.
Tom and Astro recognized them immediately as testing machinery for radioactivity, much more advanced and sensitive than the ordinary Geiger counter. Around the two men was ample evidence of Astro's original assumption that they were digging into a hot vein of uranium pitchblende.
I suffered, especially in the town, from an oppressive feeling of fatigue and weakness; and to the kindness and friendship of Herr Geiger, the Secretary to the Austrian Consulate, and his wife, who took me with them into the country, and showed me the greatest attention, do I alone owe my recovery. I ascribed my illness altogether to the unusual dampness of the atmosphere.
"Of course there is only one answer, you know; it is like when a king asks for anything. And besides, Herr Geiger is so good and kind, he was really perfectly delighted at my having the great chance, the chance of a lifetime.
"No, Tom," answered Astro, "the control for the rods are inside the tube control box. We can't reach it." There was a sudden loud ticking from the Geiger counter. "Astro!" cried Roger. "The mass is building!" "Here, lemme see!" shouted Astro. He took the instrument in his big hand and watched the clocklike face intently.
Major Geiger, of the same Regiment, and Captain Hayden, of the Dubuque Battery, had two horses shot under them. Major Coyle, of the Ninth Iowa, was wounded in the leg. Colonel Dodge having discovered that the enemy were preparing for a general attack, changed his front to the right, covering his men with a log fence, thus compelling the enemy to cross an open field to reach him.
The question we asked was, "Is there anything unusual about this machete? Is it magnetized? Is it radioactive? Has it been heated?" No knife was ever tested so thoroughly for so many things. As in using a Geiger counter to check the area over which the UFO had hovered in the Florida woods, our idea was to investigate every possible aspect of the sighting.
"Will you go on this journey alone?" "Give me a fleet horse, and I will bear your message safely." "Alone?" "Alone." "What is your name?" inquired the officer, after another thoughtful pause. "Emily Geiger." "Is your father living?" "Yes." "Have you his consent?" "He knows nothing of my intention. But he loves his country, and, but for ill health, would be now bearing arms against their enemies.
Abraham Geiger sided with the extreme reformers, while Frankel and Zunz insisted upon the necessity of retaining Hebrew as the language of worship. Moses Mendelsohn, of Hamburg, a German Harizi both in the character of his work and by reason of his position as a straggler of the Meassefim, was a disciple and imitator of Wessely.
