For the rest, that part of New York's great waterway was dim and impalpable. Try as he might, the detective could see no small craft afloat. The yacht's gig, waiting at the clubhouse, was hidden from view. He sped rapidly down the steps, and found the patrolman. "That you, Nolan?" he said. The man peered at him. "Oh, Mr. Clancy, is it?" he replied. "You know Senator Meiklejohn by sight?"
Patrolman Willis set up the hop-timer. Sergeant Madden was pleased that he aimed the squad ship not exactly at the minute disk which was Planet IV of this system. It was prudence against the possibility of an error in the reading of distance. "Ever use a marker, Willis?" Patrolman Willis said: "No, sir." Before he'd finished saying it the squad ship had hopped into overdrive and out again.
Minafer was to blame for the accident according to patrolman F. A. Kax, who witnessed the affair. The automobile was a small one driven by Herbert Cottleman of 9173 Noble Avenue who stated that he was making less than 4 miles an hour. Minafer is said to belong to a family formerly of considerable prominence in the city.
I asked, when I thought that it was near enough to get a glimpse of its contents. Before I could repeat the question, the eyes of the patrolman glared as though starting from their sockets, and his face flushed scarlet.
He waved his hand negligently and went back to the squad ship. He got in. Patrolman Willis followed him. "Take her up," said Sergeant Madden. The squad ship fell toward the sky. Sergeant Madden said satisfiedly: "That went off pretty good. From now on it's just routine." There was a bubble in emptiness. It was a large bubble, as such things go.
Charley Le Grant and I at the time were under a patrolman named Carmintel, and the three of us were on the Reindeer, preparing for a trip, when Big Alec stepped aboard. Carmintel evidently knew him, for they shook hands in recognition. Big Alec took no notice of Charley or me. "I've come down to fish sturgeon a couple of months," he said to Carmintel.
I would rather be the wife of a common interplanetary patrolman than queen of Mars! I withdraw, now!" Joro, struck by her vehemence, paled. The muscles of his jaw lumped. From a pocket he took a portable disk-radio, an inch in diameter, and spoke a few words. From outside there was a sudden uproar, shouts and curses.
We promoted to roundsman a patrolman, with an already excellent record, for gallantry shown in a fray which resulted in the death of his antagonist. He was after a gang of toughs who had just waylaid, robbed, and beaten a man. They scattered and he pursued the ringleader. Running hard, he gained on his man, whereupon the latter suddenly turned and fired full in his face.
Numbers of lawless Chinese, Greeks, and Italians were at that time engaged in illegal fishing, and many a patrolman paid his life for his interference. My only weapon on duty was a steel table-fork, but I felt fearless and a man when I climbed over the side of a boat to arrest some marauder.
Dozing, with his chin tilted forward on his chest, he looked hopelessly commonplace. The skipper of the Aldeb came over to the squad ship, because Sergeant Madden loathed spacesuits and there was no air on Sirene VIII. Patrolman Willis watched as the skipper came wading through the lacy, breast-high gas-frost.
