I’m glad we’re out here instead of down there!" The column of fire lengthened, thinned out, grew fainter until there was only a glow behind the asteroid. Rip took his astrogation instruments and made a number of sights. They looked good.
Only till morning, for the last time, in this same room?” So he finished, turning to the fat little man, with the pipe, sitting on the sofa. The latter removed his pipe from his lips with dignity and observed severely: “Panie, we’re here in private. There are other rooms.” “Why, it’s you, Dmitri Fyodorovitch! What do you mean?” answered Kalganov suddenly. “Sit down with us. How are you?”
Rip knew that no more could be done for the Italian at present. "Go back to the cave, Dominico," he ordered. "I can stay with you, sir." "No, Dominico. Thanks for the offer, but we’ll get along. Go back to the cave." "Yessir." Rip was a little worried. He had heard nothing from Koa since that first exchange. He told Dowst as much. Koa himself heard and answered. "Lieutenant, we’re all right.
The bubbles were equipped with lights, but they were seldom used. He outlined his plan swiftly. Both Santos and Dowst acknowledged. Koa reported in. "We’re after two more Connies near the wreck of the landing boat, sir." "Be careful. Pederson, go help Koa. Nunez, how are things at the cave?" "Nunez reporting, sir. Two Connies in sight, but they haven’t seen us yet."
I’d rather surprise some of these noblemen if I turned up again in my true character!” “Thank the Lord, we’re not likely to meet them again!” exclaimed the doctor, devoutly. “No,” said Welsh; “here endeth the second lesson.” His friend, who had been well brought up, looked a trifle uncomfortable at this quotation. “I say,” he remarked a few minutes later, “we haven’t finished yet.
"We’ve only seen two large ones, and they were too large." "Space is certainly full of junk," Rip commented. "At least this corner of it is full." A junior space officer overheard him. "This is nothing. We’re on the edge of the asteroid belt. Closer to the middle, there’s so much stuff a ship has to crawl through it." Rip wandered over to the main control desk.
Mayhew walked to the stern, while a seaman, accompanying them, heaved the lead, reading the soundings. “We’re stuck good and fast,” remarked the engineer officer. “We can’t drive off out of that sand for the reason that the propellers are buried in the grit. They’ll hardly turn at all, and, when they do, they only churn the sand without driving us off.”
But we’ll take plenty of them with us before we’re finished." "That’s the spirit," Rip approved. He told them, "I won’t last much longer. When I get too weak, Koa will take over. Meanwhile, I want to get outside. Bring the rocket launcher outside, too. Who’s the gunner? Santos? Stand by, then. We’ll need you in case the Connie decides to send a few snappers before it goes after the Scorpius."
"I’ll get aboard one if this keeps on." He kicked a lump of ice off into space; the staff officer glanced at him and looked away hurriedly. "Listen," said Carfax with an effort; "we’re not regulars not like the others. The Canadian division is different.
She’s not worthy of it!” Katerina Ivanovna cried again with the same warmth. “You know, Alexey Fyodorovitch, we’re fanciful, we’re self-willed, but proudest of the proud in our little heart. We’re noble, we’re generous, Alexey Fyodorovitch, let me tell you. We have only been unfortunate. We were too ready to make every sacrifice for an unworthy, perhaps, or fickle man.
