This he managed to accomplish without much difficulty, wondering while so doing whether he and Jack might not be making history, for he suspected that never before in the annals of aviation had an amphibian plane been afforded a chance to take a prize of war in such an original fashion as bombarding the enemy crew with tear-gas bombs and causing them to flee in mad haste.
So that was tear-gas you tossed into the room, was it? thought I recognized the smell and I want to tell you, once that hits a chap's eyes and he doesn't care if a church steeple topples down on him, he's that paralyzed."
Undoubtedly he had been senseless at the time the tear-gas penetrated every part of the small vessel, and was only now coming to. Jack lost no time in examining the pitiful looking object while Perk waited to hear what his verdict would be.
They were then halfway to the ship, with Murgatroyd prancing on ahead. But then Calhoun's heart began to pound furiously. His muscles twitched and tense. He felt extraordinary symptoms like an extreme of agitation. Calhoun was familiar enough with tear-gas, used by police on some planets. But this was different and worse.
Possibly Perk still seemed to get a faint whiff of the tear-gas that had drenched the smugglers' boat at the time he himself hurled those two bombs with such deadly accuracy and the possibility of being himself made the target of a similar attack was anything but pleasing for him to contemplate.
Here Perk found them both as he came full tilt around the corner, realizing something not down on the bills as far as his knowledge went, must have taken place. "Jack what's happened are you bad hurt, buddy?" Perk demanded excitedly as he bent down over his chum. "All right only had to use the tear-gas again be better right off don't let Kearns get away on your life!"
So a Twenty-second Century high school was a place where a teacher carried a pistol and a tear-gas projector and a sleep-gas gun, and had a bodyguard, and still walked in danger of his life from armed 'teen-age hooligans. It was meaningless to ask whose fault it was.
