This was our earth this was the planet we were going to defend our home in the trackless wilderness of space. And it seemed to us indeed a home for which we might gladly expend our last breath.
There are the barbarians, and there are the tribesmen, and there are the civilized. This was true when men lived on only one planet, and doubtless was true when the first village was built. There were civilized men even then. If there was progress, they brought it about.
It was the editor of the Planet, to whom I had been indebted for a number of special commissions including my fascinating quest of the Giant Gnu, which, generally supposed to be extinct, was reported by certain natives and others to survive in a remote corner of the Dark Continent.

That antenna is similar to those we found on the planets of the Black Star; it's a heat screen. They probably had such antennas all over the planet. "Unfortunately, the screen's efficiency goes up as the fourth power of the temperature.
When she and her "box" were deposited on the platform of the little wayside railway station, she felt she had indeed dropped from the clouds; leaving her own world, and her own identity, on some far-distant planet.
