Two of the prisoners are patched up, but the third one is in the other operating room. I don't know whether we can save him or not. We're trying." O'Brine nodded. "Thanks, Doctor. Now, Foster, start talking. You fired on this ship, scored a hit, and broke the air seal. No casualties, fortunately.

And if you die, why, so must I, and " But in all this wind we must hurry to keep in touch with our paper. Policeman O'Brine arrested it as a character dangerous to traffic.
