The tones of this song when arranged to represent the scale of E minor coincide exactly with the scale tones of two of the tunings of the Japanese 13 stringed koto. These tunings were both borrowed by the Japanese from the Chinese by whom they were used as special tunings of the ch'in, or kin, one of the most ancient of musical instruments.
I now called LeConte from the radio room and Koto in from the deck, and after Captain Crane and I had told them what we had learned, I made my proposal. The plan was simply that LeConte should continue to work on his sending apparatus until he reached Earth, while Koto, Captain Crane and I set out on a reconnaissance.
From there he turned his head before he disappeared, as though to watch his guest. Mrs. Fentolin was busy fondling one of her dogs, which she had raised to her lap, and Hamel was watching her with a tolerant smile. "Koto, you little idiot, why can't you sit up like your sister? Was its tail in the way, then! Mr.
Our next obvious move, regardless of what they might do, was to get hold of one of them and make him talk. After a gesture to Koto and Captain Crane to stay where they were, I ran to a spot on the deck where I had seen a permanent ladder fixed to the side of the ship. Three jumps took me down to the beach, and three more took me into the very midst of the mob.
And Leider's forgotten to take that fact into account!" I felt really sure that the guards were not armed with some mysterious weapon we could not see, and Koto felt the same. "Doctor, you're right!" he exclaimed. "Leider's made a mistake! He's forgotten what damage can be done by physical strength, and left us alone with a mere flesh-and-blood guard.
All of us then held a hasty conference and decided that since no one was badly in need of rest, LeConte would return to his sending set, Koto would keep a deck watch, and Captain Crane and I would see what we could learn from the prisoner. From the start it had been certain that the Orconite's strength was not to be compared to our earthly powers.
The guards knew we had seen and were aware of our excitement, but contented themselves by standing fast in the line they had already formed across the tunnel. We advanced another few yards. "Mother of Mercy!" LeConte whispered, almost in awe. "There's a chance for us!" Koto gasped. "A chance! We'll set one of the guns going in the hold of our own ship, and then "
At that moment I also had a queer impression that the sunlight was growing brighter on all the glittering rocks, and that some new feeling was creeping into the air. "Doctor Weeks!" LeConte cried across the distance between us. "Come at once!" Terror had laid hold of the man. Captain Crane, Koto and I began to run to him. "What is it?" I shouted. "I don't know," came the thin answer.
The winged legion overside gave loud cries and braced themselves against the gusts. I saw Virginia Crane clinging desperately to her stanchion beside the light switches. "More light if you have it!" I screamed to her against the wind. Then Koto and I got the gun going. My first feeling was one of intense relief.
They possess sixty stand of muskets, beside blunderbusses and wall-pieces. They had quitted the Company's districts about twenty-three days ago, and are gone, some to Koto Tuggoh, and others to Pakalang-jambu. 27th. Marched in a north-north-east direction; passed over a steep hill which took us three hours hard walking.
