Continuing a Thrilling New Serial of Interplanetary Life and Travel by Edward E. Smith, Ph.D. Author of "Skylark of Space," and "Skylark Three" Spacehounds of IPC One of the most fascinating mysteries of the heavens is the comet. It goes through space, gets near enough to the earth to be seen, and then goes off and disappears in celestial distance.
"But there are times when we've got to fight our own battles and bury our own dead," she interrupted, gamely. "Cut off the rest of that power! I'm not going to be sick I won't be a what do you spacehounds call us poor earth-bound dubs who can't stand weightlessness weight-fiends, isn't it?" "Yes; but you aren't...." "I know I'm not, and I'm not going to be one, either!

"I don't know whether to feel relieved at the knowledge that they won't bother us, or whether to get mad because they won't have anything to do with us." He sent the "All x" signal to the pilot and the Sirius, once more at the acceleration of Terrestrial gravity, again bored on through space. Spacehounds Triumphant
Breckenridge, in the last car to leave the portal, studied his surroundings with interest as his conveyance darted through the gateway. More or less a fatalist by nature and an adventurer, of course, since no other type existed among the older spacehounds of the IPC, he was intensely interested in every new phase of their experience, and was no whit dismayed or frightened.
