So far from imposing artificial restrictions upon the acquirement of knowledge by women, throw every facility in their way. Let our Faustinas, if they will, toil through the whole round of "Juristerei und Medizin, Und leider! auch Philosophie." Let us have "sweet girl graduates" by all means.
It was my duty to think about the position we were in and the task we had in hand. I asked Hargrib sharply what was to be expected from Leider now that his cable party against us had failed. And he told me. The sum of it was that Leider was working eagerly to complete his preparations for the attack on Earth.

Now, in that thick obscurity, I sensed that we were nearing the magnificent, tapering hull with its fish-scale sides. "Come on!" I urged unnecessarily. I kicked into several of the yielding bodies left from our first fight, before Leider had taken us, and in a little while the feel of cool, smooth metal under my hand told me we had reached the gangway. "Up you go, Captain!"
I gathered, however, that Leider suspected we were armed against him in some way, and would watch us carefully. By now daylight had begun to peer in through the ports, a greenish daylight which grew out of the north, and with its coming I resolved on a plan of action. "I am done with Hargrib," I said suddenly to Captain Crane.
"The weak point for us," I said, "is that we'll have to make an awful row, and the alarm will go out, and eventually some weapon will be brought out to stop us. But if we work quickly, there's a good chance that we can finish everything before Leider is able to step in with some devilish freak instrument. Take it easy until we've got the clubs, and then cut loose for all you're worth.
I am ready now, in the uttermost degree. After you so neatly but uselessly saved yourselves from drowning last night, I finished. As easily can I de-energize the peoples of Earth as I can you the four of you if you should make the move to harm me." Captain Crane was staring first at Leider, then at me, and her cheeks were gray and ghastly looking.
"LeConte, you help her." Then I turned to Koto and in the dark waved a fist under his nose. "You idiot " "No, my friend," he laughed at me. "You killed Leider. LeConte put out the lights. Captain Crane will pilot the ship. Now it's my turn. You will pardon my insubordination, but you will also please to hurry up the gangway before I knock you unconscious and throw you up.
From the end of the tube emanated a purplish light. "You were clever, my good young friends," he chortled, "to think of fighting with your hands, but you were not quite quick enough. Not to-day goes anyone in my cruiser! What do you think of the enervating ray, heh? Ingenious, not? Ludwig Leider discovered it. I am Ludwig Leider.
If I could find a way to get close to the box on the table without rousing Leider's suspicion, the outlook might not be so black! "Leider," I exclaimed all at once, and there was a vigor in my words, "it's all very well for you to be saying these mighty things, but do you know what? I don't believe you can draw the energy out of the human race or disintegrate the Earth, either!"
