And you Tastal, Commander of Fleets, had best bring your fleets near the planets for protection. Go." "May I suggest, mighty Thalt," said Faslar after the others had left, "that my knowledge will be exceedingly useful to you. You have two commanders, neither of whom loves you, and neither of whom is highly capable.
"Our cause is lost, which is by far the least of our troubles. Thett is in danger. We cannot hope to combat that ship." "Thalt what means have we. Can we not better them?" demanded Sthanto of his chief scientist.
He mutht be thrown into an iron pot, with a gallon of therry cobbler, and a pumpkin pie, and thome baked beanth, and a copy of the Biglow Paperth, and a handful of thalt, and they mutht all thimmer together till he geth properly flavoured again." "Wouldn't it be safer if he was only dipped in?" asked the same "shrimp" who had spoken before.
There is every reason why you should not, and not one why you should." "Yeth." Tommy turned over on her back. "Did you ever thwallow thalt water?" "I never did." "Then don't. It ith awful. Oh, I'm tho tired and I'm getting thleepy." Harriet roused herself instantly. She gave Tommy a brisk slap on one cheek.
I wath too buthy trying to keep from filling up with thalt water. Did you ever drink any of that water, Mith Livingthton?" "Hardly." "Then take the advice of a fithh, and don't." All hands were called to supper, thus putting an end to the conversation, which had been heartily enjoyed by Mrs. Livingston. Tommy always was a source of amusement to her.
They lasted for the thousandth part of a second, and when they suddenly died away, as swiftly as they had come, there was not even ash where the scout had been. "Have you any suggestions, Thalt?" he asked of the scientist, his voice as soft as before. "I quite agree with your conduct so far, but the future conduct you had planned is quite unsatisfactory," replied the scientist.
The ruler turned his slightly smiling face to the commander of his armies, who sat beside him. "Give orders," he said softly, almost gently, "that a triple ray station be set up under the direction of Thalt, and further notice that all power be made instantly available to it. Add that the colonists are returning defeated, and bringing danger at their heels.
The ray power is incalculable. "Their magnetic beams are used in conjunction with cosmics. The action of the two causes the relux to induce current, and due to reaction of currents on the magnetic field " "And the resistance due to the relux, the relux is first heated to incandescence and then the ship opens out as the air pressure bends the magnetically softened relux?" finished Thalt.
"You won't think tho after we have all gone and drowned ourthelveth from thith from the what ith the name of the thhip on which we are going to thail the thalt water?" "Her name is 'The Sister Sue," replied Mr. McCarthy. "Thave me!" wailed Tommy. "The boat may be all right, but think of being drowned in a name like that!
Here precious seconds were wasted while a check was made of the credentials the man carried, then he was sent through to the Council Room. And he, too, stood on that exact spot where the other scout, but a few weeks before, had stood and vanished. Waiting, it seemed, were four councilors and the new Sthanto, Thalt. "What news, Scout?" asked the Sthanto.
