It still lacked several hours of the time allowed in the ultimatum to Jeter and Eyer of Sitsumi and the Three, when the six planes leveled off within a couple of miles of the space ship. They knew about where the stratosphere had swallowed up Jeter and Eyer. Now they were casting about for a sign, like bloodhounds seeking the spoor of an enemy. Jeter and Eyer held their breaths as they watched.
There was a threat in his grin and a promise. "I wouldn't use my weapons if I were in your place, gentlemen," he said. "Come this way, please. Sitsumi and The Three wish to see you at once." Jeter and Eyer exchanged glances. Would it do any good to start a fight with these people? They seemed to be unarmed, but there were many of them. And probably there were many more beyond that door.
And you should have spun the outer globe instantly, before the remaining enemy had a chance to find out our location." "I can move away a half mile," suggested Wang Li. "We've got to silence those motors, fool!" yelled Sitsumi. "You know very well that we can't run. Charge them again, and take care this time that you crash into the middle of their formation."
"You were speaking of the levitating ray," prompted Eyer with swift change to the sidewise whispering. "From what you heard I'm sure it is something invented by Liao Wu, Yung Chan and Wang Li. In so much they have an advantage over Sitsumi. I doubt if there is any love lost among them, beyond the fact that they need one another.
"I think your master believes you talk too much, Naka," said Jeter, but Jeter's eyes were gleaming, too. As soon as Sitsumi had turned back to his station Jeter's lips began to move. "See?" he said. "It isn't their machine guns these people fear. It isn't their bombs it's their motors! I wonder why...."
Chinese seldom found foreigners who did comprehend them. In only so much were The Three in the least bit careless. Eyer strained his ears to hear everything which passed between Sitsumi and the Three. Both men listened to any chance words in English or French on the part of all hands within the globe which might give them a hint. And in those twenty-four hours the sky-scientists learned much.
The leader of the committee, panting, but apparently unconcerned over what had happened, motioned the two men to lead the way. He pointed to the large building in the center of the "floor." "That way," he said, "and I hope Sitsumi and The Three give us permission to throw you out without parachutes or high altitude suits." "Pleasant cuss, aren't you?" said Eyer. "I don't think you like us."
