Haydon clawed for his pistol, missing the butt in his eagerness, and striving wildly to draw it. It snagged on a rawhide thong that supported the holster and his fingers were loosening in the partial grip when Billy Morgan shot him.
Plum Run's got a six mile an hour current up above, and it's at least four here. There's something mighty funny about it all to me." "But mightn't it just have been snagged or shoaled up above, and finally worked loose?" "Sure, I know that.
What he did was to draw the other toward the daylight, examine the hand, which was torn and lacerated on the gun-hammer, and with sundry exclamations of sympathy proceed to bind it up with strips torn from his own handkerchief.

Rip exclaimed. "Call if you need help." Koa was already out of the craft and leading the way. Rip went out through a window and saw the cause of the trouble. Dowst had been a hair too close to the asteroid. A particularly high crystal of thorium had snagged the landing craft. Rip looked for the Connie and saw it make another turn. They had only a moment or two before the next run.
