There will be new ships, won't there?" "As soon as I return to Earth and tell them I've been successful. My men are ready to go into immediate production of hyperspace vessels. The universe is going to be full of them even before your ship reaches Procyon!" He sensed now the full importance of what he had done.
"Well, what happened?" von Schlichten asked, after they had exchanged greetings. "How did Yoorkerk like the movies? And did you get the Procyon and the Northern Lights loose?" "Yoorkerk was deeply impressed," O'Leary replied.
When the great telescope was mounted at the Lick Observatory, it is understood that Burnham and Barnard, whose eyes are of the keenest, looked in vain for the companion of Procyon.
Wherefore she said instead: "Why'd you let him keep his pistol? The ... the slime! And after you actually saved his life, too!" "With some people what's past doesn't count. The other was just a gesture. Psychology. It'll slow him down, I think. Besides, he'd have another one as soon as we get back into the Procyon." "But you can lock up all their guns, can't you?" Bernice asked. "I'm afraid not.
Two of the stars, Betelgeux and Alpha Cygni, gave no certain sign of any perspective shifting; of the rest, Procyon, with a parallax of 0·334", proved the nearest to our system. At the mean distance concluded for these ten brilliant stars, the sun would show as of only fifth magnitude; hence it claims a very subordinate rank among the suns of space.
The remaining stars of Monoceros will be found on map No. 3. We should use the five-inch for all of these. Canis Minor and the Head of Hydra are also contained on map No. 3. Procyon, alpha of Canis Minor, has several minute stars in the same field of view. There is, besides, a companion which, although it was known to exist, no telescope was able to detect until November, 1896.
At the sixth trial nothing apparently happened; whereupon the wire was drawn in and a two-hundred-pound mass of steel was lowered until it was in firm and quiescent contact with the solid rock of the planet. "Now you may try your radio," Adams said. Deston flipped a switch and spoke, quietly but clearly, into a microphone. "Procyon One to Control Six. Flight Eight Four Nine.
"You don't think I'd tell them," she whispered. "I heard talk, in the Procyon port, of a spy that had managed to get through on a Lhari ship." Her face twisted. "You you must know about the man on the Multiphase, you know they'll make sure I can't hide anything dangerous to the Lhari at the end of the voyage."
Bart blinked, feeling as if he had stepped into pitch darkness. Only slowly did his eyes adapt and he became aware that he was standing in a city street, in the full glow of Procyon sunlight, and apparently outside the Lhari spaceport entirely. He'd better get to cover! He took off the Mentorian cloak, thrust it under his arm.
"O. K., Doc," and it was done; and in a few days the Procyon hung motionless, a good five hundred miles high, directly above the highest, sharpest mountain peak they had been able to find. The Bailey boom, with its spider-web-like network of grounding cables and with a large pulley at its end, extended two hundred feet straight out from the side of the ship.
