40961She asked now,"What happens next?"
40961Smack up grandpop''s helicopter, maybe, or flunk out of school?"
40961So why ca n''t you take a chance with me to Mars?"
40961That they still live mostly on hope, dreams, and regular rocket service?
40961There was trouble behind this somewhere, he was willing to bet, or else why had she stowed away?
40961What do you want a cop for?"
40961What if there_ are_ four of you?"
40961What''s the difference?
40961What?"
40961When do we go out and who''s the crew?"
40961Where did you bury her?"
40961Where the devil did you spend the last thirty- six hours?"
40961Why?
40961You did n''t see me bring back a shovel, did you?"
40961You''re the next Mars pilot, according to the schedule, are n''t you?"
40961_ But what the hell?_ he thought.
40961_ That the whole population of the colony is only about four thousand?
40961_ What does she expect me to tell her?_ Dudley wondered cynically.
27228But tell, I pray thee, whence the gloomy spots Upon this body, which below on earth Give rise to talk of Cain in fabling quaint?
27228Do you see yonder church?
27228My eyes were dim, and so were Mr. Peggotty''s; but I repeated in a whisper,''With the tide?'' 27228 Trot, trot, trot; how do you enjoy that, my little man?
27228What are you relating to me now?
27228What signs of bad weather are there which sometimes you notice when storms are coming on? 27228 Who is she that looketh forth, fair as the moon?"
27228Why does the dog waggle his tail?
27228''Hev I seed her out o''doors afore?''
27228''Wherefore dost thou depart from the sun, Wandering by night alone, Courting the morning star?''"
272284"Who''ll Smoak with the Man in the Moon?"
27228And now some inquisitive individual may be impatient to interrupt our eloquence with the question,"What are you going to make of the man in the moon?"
27228As these two desiderata seem indispensable to lunar inhabitation, we may chiefly consider the question, Do these conditions exist?
27228Because what?"
27228Besides, is the moon''s influence in disease an admitted fact?
27228But some sceptic may assail us with a note of interrogation, saying,"Is there a man in the moon?"
27228But who ever heard of the_ lunar_ rays as beneficial?
27228For, as Pope puts it,--"Who shall decide, when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?"
27228Hast thou not dropp''d from heaven?
27228Have not we all frequently affirmed that we knew no more about certain inscrutable matters than the man in the moon?
27228He had wandered long, when a_ hare_ accosted him:''Can not I help thee?
27228If he doth so, why should not you Drink until the sky looks blew?"
27228Indeed, what more have amateurs that they can do?
27228Is n''t that nice?"
27228Looking up to it, she said,''Why can not you come down and let my child have a bit of you?''
27228The Fabricator of terrestrial organizations has limited himself to no one type or form, why then should man be the model of beings in distant worlds?
27228The man stopped, and asked the faggot- bearer,''Do you know that this is Sunday on earth, when all must rest from their labours?''
27228Then a voice came from the heavens, saying:--''Wouldst thou, thief, like Thy cheek to strike This fair key, scorching- red with heat?''
27228Thomas Dekker, a British dramatist, wrote in 1630:"A starre?
27228To the question,''Is the moon inhabited?''
27228We know something of his residence, whenever he is at home: what do we know of the man?
27228Well, my lord bishop, is not that how we die on earth?
27228What beside sexuality suggested the thought of the Chevalier Marini?
27228What good would that do you, then?"
27228What?
27228Where did we get these ideas?
27228Which of the twain is its true gender?
27228Who can fail to discern slight touches of the same hand which we see displayed in other designs?
27228Who can reflect upon this dream of human childhood, and not recall some dreams of later years?
27228Who can tell what the last fifteen years of this eventful century may develop in the same direction?
27228Who shall prescribe to science her boundaries, or restrain the active and insatiable curiosity of man within the circle of his present acquirements?
27228Why so?
27228[ 169] And now what does Confucianism say of moon- worship?
27228[ 24] This may be rendered,"Do you not know what the people call the rustic in the moon who carries the thorns?
27228[ 354] In Dekker''s_ Match Me in London_, Act i., the King says,"My Lord, doe you see this change in the moone?
27228[ 50] What more needs to be said?
27228[ 53] We are here told how the author,"making himself a kite of ye hight(?)
27228[ 6] Several astronomers assert the absence of water in the moon; if this be the case, what is the poor man to drink?
27228_ The Man in the Moon_, London, 1827(?).
27228why came he down From his peaceful realm on high; Where sorrowful moan is all unknown, And nothing is born to die?
61242All right? 61242 Base Gagarin?
61242But when do you think you''re going to get the lights fixed?
61242Cooler?
61242Do n''t we look silly?
61242Do you think he did that deliberately?
61242Everyone got enough air?
61242For a moment there, I thought...."What?
61242Got the inventory sheet, Les?
61242Help?
61242Help?
61242Hey, Les, how''s it look?
61242How are we going to know when it''s over?
61242How do they possibly think--?
61242How does this stuff work?
61242How''re the other ones?
61242How''s that?
61242How''s that?
61242Huh?
61242Is everything all right?
61242Larry, where''s the inventory?
61242Larry,Major Winship said,"why do n''t you get Earth?"
61242Les, have you found it?
61242Now what, Skip? 61242 Okay?"
61242Other one? 61242 Skip--_what''s wrong?_""The second little dome is down.
61242So you want to be a civilian?
61242Static?
61242Still hot?
61242Think it''s safe, yet?
61242Think you can make it, Charlie?
61242This okay?
61242Want to bet Finogenov has n''t got a bushel of them?
61242What are we going to do with him? 61242 What brought this on?"
61242What is_ that_?
61242What''d they say?
61242What''s wrong?
61242What''s wrong?
61242What-- what-- what?
61242What?
61242When?
61242Who was supposed to check?
61242Why did n''t you just borrow a cupful?
61242Will you please request the general to keep us informed on the progress of the countdown?
61242With sandpaper?
61242With what?
61242Yes?
61242You got any concentrate? 61242 You still okay, Charlie?"
61242You sure?
61242Any damage, Major?"
61242Are you all right?"
61242At length, Major Winship said reflectively,"Why do you suppose they would try to calk it from the outside?"
61242Base Gagarin?"
61242Charlie, you still okay?"
61242Even if they did n''t, they sure got the jump on us again, did n''t they?
61242He said,"Now that makes a weird kind of sense, does n''t it?"
61242He told me to take a little scale--""A little scale?"
61242Help?"
61242How''s it feel, Charlie?"
61242How''s the other little dome?"
61242I told you what he told me?"
61242Is the leak repaired?"
61242Is there anything at all we can do?"
61242Lawler said,"''How are we going to mix it?''
61242Leak?
61242Skip, can you get the calking compound?"
61242That''s the thing that gripes me, know what I mean?
61242What''ll we do?
61242When-- boom?"
61242Where''s the markers?"
61242Wilkins''s lips were desperately forming the word"Leak?"
61242You A Okay?"
61242You did n''t feel it?"
61242You do n''t suppose they planned this all along?
61242You riding okay, Charlie?"
61242You want it?"
61242You?"
62260Are you mad? 62260 But then-- what?"
62260Enough?
62260H- uh? 62260 How about my bag--?"
62260How''s that? 62260 Huh?
62260Hummm?
62260I-- er-- I beg your pardon, Isobar?
62260It disturbs the peace o''the dingfounded, dumblasted Dome staff, does it? 62260 Jinky- wallopers, I won''t-- Huh?
62260Notified of_ what_?
62260Oh, cut jets, will you?
62260Oh, it''s_ you_? 62260 Oh, no?
62260Oh-- the pipes?
62260Report ready, Jones?
62260So I ca n''t play you, huh?
62260Sweet snakes of Saturn, Jonesy, what''s the trouble? 62260 W- where,"faltered Isobar feebly,"is_ what_?"
62260Want to play peekaboo while the contact''s open, eh? 62260 Well, hell, are n''t we all?
62260Well, it''s Roberts and Brown--"What about''em?
62260Well,he said,"one man''s fish-- hey, Jonesy?
62260What? 62260 Yeah?
62260You mean you have n''t been notified?
62260You telecast a message to the Dome? 62260 ***** Afterward, Isobar Jones said weakly,But-- dead?
62260Adventure?
62260And the shooting?
62260And what did you plan to do there?"
62260And why, for Pete''s sake, the bagpipes?"
62260And with_ what_, pray, Jones?"
62260Bugs in your britches?"
62260But what are_ you_ doing out here, Isobar?
62260But, why--?"
62260But-- how come you always want to take a squint at Earth when the circuit''s open, Jonesy?
62260Can you hear me, Luna?
62260Can you hear--?"
62260Can you twist your mike around so it''s pointing out a window?"
62260Did n''t you hear our telecast?
62260Excitement?
62260Four- alarm Riley, the cosmic comedian-- didn''t you know?
62260Fresh air?
62260Funny man Riley?"
62260Funny man, eh?
62260Have you read General Order 17?"
62260His world- sickness is like a crying hunger-- By the way, where is he now?"
62260Homesick?"
62260How about the Grannies?"
62260How comes with the report?"
62260Instructor in_ what_?"
62260Instructor?
62260Isobar said,"H- huh?
62260Jones?"
62260Look, do me a favor, chum?
62260Maybe I ought to call the office, maybe?"
62260Not even allowed to-- Yeah?"
62260Quick, man-- where is it?
62260See that grilled duct over there?
62260See that window?
62260See that?
62260Sometimes I get so mad I''d like to--""To,"interrupted a crisp voice,"what?"
62260Such labor as caused Patrolmen Brown and Roberts to go, for example--""Any word from them yet, sir?"
62260Suicide... mad acts of valor... deeds of cunning or knavery....""You mean,"demanded Sparks anxiously,"Isobar ai n''t got all his buttons?"
62260Sunlight?
62260The answer that caused the bagpipes to slip from Isobar''s fingers as Isobar Jones passed out in a dead faint:"After you?
62260The romance he had been led to expect when he signed on for frontier service?
62260Then you did n''t pick up our call?
62260Then you picked up our cry for help?
62260Those Grannies?
62260W- hat do you mean, Commander?"
62260Was it the sound- waves that killed them?"
62260Were n''t you told that I would take your place here while you reported to G.H.Q.?"
62260What''s''at?
62260What?"
62260Where are_ you_ going?"
62260Will you do it?"
62260You trying to scare them off?
61674A rebellion, O Queen? 61674 A rocket ship?"
61674A''bum''?
61674All the cameras set?
61674Any other news?
61674Any signals from the Peak?
61674Are they dead?
61674Artana agreed?
61674B- ray? 61674 Burned away, huh?
61674Clouds?
61674Did they say,asked Ross,"how Horta plans to make war?
61674Did you ever see such a mess?
61674Did you get that, Harry? 61674 Do we go on?"
61674Everything settled?
61674Fight what?
61674Go on?
61674Going to skirt the cavern?
61674Gone? 61674 Has Horta been up to anything in the ray business?"
61674Have you heard of trouble on the Earth?
61674Hear that?
61674Horta?
61674How about ray- guns now?
61674How about the blinkers from the other ships?
61674How are the stars behaving, Harry?
61674I wonder if it might not even mean--"Whatever happened to Number Eight?
61674If there should be fighting--"Fighting?
61674If you do, why ca n''t you say something?
61674It''s a Regency, is n''t it?
61674King Magnus was killed, perhaps not by Horta''s orders-- but who else would have plotted it? 61674 Magnus-- killed?
61674New Kingdom?
61674Now where?
61674On the Moon? 61674 Or-- well, trouble in the sky?"
61674Queen Boada-- and the Princess Illeria?
61674Quite a scare, was n''t it?
61674Shot away?
61674So it is n''t going to happen?
61674Sure you speak the Earth tongue?
61674That''s all, Jorgens?
61674The Earth- girls, they do not speak so to men?
61674The Great Cavern, eh? 61674 The reservoirs are full?"
61674Think so?
61674Want to answer, Chief?
61674Well?
61674Well?
61674What else?
61674What good would they do?
61674What happened?
61674What''ll you do with the men of the Peaks?
61674What''s going on?
61674What''s our speed?
61674What''s the play?
61674Where are we?
61674Where do you suppose we could get some guns?
61674Where does that leave us?
61674Where''s your sporting blood?
61674Who takes over?
61674Why do you say that?
61674Wiped out?
61674Would n''t it be better to stand off and wait for more news?
61674You did n''t get a knock on the head, did you?
61674You do n''t mean--"Why not?
61674You do n''t suppose he''s a pal in disguise?
61674You do not like me?
61674You mean that you would fly over the Caverns?
61674You mean, Artana sent this to decoy us in to Four and smash us?
61674You mean-- Illeria?
61674You mean-- the way the red stars go dim when we drain them of the red rays that power our ships and inter- planet communications?
61674You really think that?
61674You will not go? 61674 You would have me accompany you?"
61674Your fleet?
61674*****"Blue rays, then?"
61674A jigger who might sell us out to the first Horta sentry?"
61674And Seven?
61674But he pushed her aside, and cried out to the helmsman,"How does she fly?"
61674But how?
61674But there shall be no fighting?"
61674But what can I do?"
61674But you, my friends?
61674Can you-- is there anything I can tell the men about-- Number Eight?"
61674Do you remember what Trowbridge''s message said?"
61674Do you suppose they''ve gone to work somehow on the blue stars?"
61674Had she resented his long open stare?
61674Have you checked on any other blue stars?"
61674He''s raising hell on the Moon, Commander?"
61674How can I receive you, when my people are embroiled in civil war-- for that is what it is?"
61674How could we be sure of some other guide?
61674How did this door open?"
61674How?
61674Is that what you heard?"
61674Perhaps that strange Purple Death of the Trowbridge message?
61674Remember the Princess?
61674Say, Bruce, did you hear the old girl?"
61674Shall I cut speed if they do n''t signal?"
61674Six?
61674Surely that is occasion enough?"
61674Then why not loose the waters in the reservoirs, and flood the caverns?"
61674Think these pop- guns will punch a hole in it?"
61674War- Lords of the Moon By LINTON DAVIES Bruce Ross, on the Earth- Moon run, asked a simple question,"How are the stars behaving, Harry?"
61674Was history to repeat itself-- in reverse, with Horta''s Moon machines raking the Earth with death?
61674Was that blow the last sign of his rear guard?
61674What are you doing on this tour?"
61674What if Horta were to make a sudden attack?
61674What''s that?"
61674What''s the trouble?
61674Where was Six?
61674Where''s Jorgens?"
61674Where?"
61674With what weapons?"
61674You remember him?"
46547And why not?
46547But why all these Circumstances,replied I,"in your way of Fighting?
46547But you''ll say, how could Hazard congregate into one place all the Figures that are necessary for the production of that Oak? 46547 For suppose him to be an Animal without Reason, would it be rational in you to Condemn him for offending against it?
46547Good now,replied I to him,"do you comprehend the Nothing that is beyond it?
46547How, a War,said I interrupting her,"have the Princes of this World, then, any quarrels amongst themselves, as those of ours have?
46547How,cried all the Company,"did not you know by that, that they shewed you what it was a Clock?"
46547How,said I,"will the Air become as solid as the Earth, to bear your steps?
46547I well perceive you''ll put the question to me, Why Water compressed in a Vessel by the Frost should break it, if it be not to hinder a Vacuity? 46547 Not to insist on a long Deduction of Arguments to prove this, tell me in good earnest, How a Pike, a Sword or a Dagger wounds us?
46547Pray tell me, when I taste a Fruit, is it not because the Heat of my Mouth melts it? 46547 Well, and because it can not complain, may we therefore justly do it all the Wrong which it can not hinder?
46547What, do you take a Burial for a precious thing then,replyed that Man?
46547Why then,replied she,"do they not chuse Impartial and Unsuspected Arbitrators to compose their Differences?
46547You are in_ France_answered they:"But what Devil hath put you into that Dress?
46547(* search: start p. 60:"the Earth, I threw out my Bowl...") The passages lacking were cut out then but by whom?
46547And besides, what great Probability have you to imagine, that the Sun is immoveable, when we see it go?
46547And he asking me, why?
46547And how comes it that we know you not?
46547And the_ Irish_-men, than_ Spaniards_?
46547And what appearance is there, that the Earth turns with so great Rapidity, when we feel it firm under our Feet?"
46547And why have you divided your Brandy into so many Bottles?"
46547And why should not I, then, expect as favourable a Success?"
46547Are you going to carry the News of it to the Governor?
46547But if you ask me, How these Worlds have been made, seeing Holy Scripture speaks only of one that God made?
46547But if you still demand of me, how I come to know that Cabbage and Coleworts conceive such pretty Thoughts?
46547But then all cried,"Do n''t you see here Earth, Rivers, Seas?
46547But you know not,"added he,"what a pleasant Quarrel I have just now had with our Fathers, upon your account?
46547Did your Father consult your Will and Pleasure, when he Embraced your Mother?
46547Do you think it strange, that the first Men of your World lived so many Ages without the least Knowledge of Physick?
46547Does there a Sponge go out of my Ears, that drinks up that Musick, and brings it back with it again?
46547Doth not Itching make good what I say?
46547For grant he hath escaped, what then?
46547For how could these great Fires subsist without some matter, that served them for Fewel?
46547Have not I as much Boldness as he?
46547He asked my Guide if I would have a dozen of Larks, because_ Baboons_( one of which he took me to be,) loved to feed on them?
46547He then intreated me to tell him, how I durst be so bold as to Scale the Moon with the Machine I told him of?
46547How can you constrain him not to have Visions, as well as you?
46547How long Men had gone naked in_ France_?
46547How will you then, most Venerable Assembly, justifie your selves for being so concerned at the Caprices of that little Animal?
46547How, must it be said, because the Sun measures our Days and Years, that it hath only been made to keep us from running our Heads against the Walls?
46547I ask you, why are Elephants bigger than we?
46547I asked him how they lived?
46547I asked him, but with a great deal of pain,( for I was quite choked) how far they reckoned from thence to_ Paris_?
46547I asked him, if it was a Note for the Reckoning?
46547I asked him, if they were Bodies as we are?
46547I asked him, what probable Arguments he had, to confirm so new an Opinion?
46547I expect you''ll ask me, why through a Reed, a Syringe or a Pump, Water is forced to ascend contrary to its inclination?
46547I farther asked him, If these Verses would always serve, if one Transcribed them?
46547If Art then be capable of inclining a Body to a perpetual Motion, why may we not believe that Nature can do it?
46547If I find a Wretch bound Hand and Foot, may I lawfully kill him, because he can not defend himself?
46547If you adore a Woman, is it not because of her Beauty?
46547If you ask me, why are they bigger than other imperceptible Creatures?
46547Is it because they are not as yet deprived of Sight, by the Death of all their Senses?
46547Is it not enough, that both Armies are equal in the number of Men?"
46547Is it not far more likely, that his Fancy, being excited by violent Desires, hath done its Duty and wrought the Cure?
46547Is not she the common Mother of you both?
46547Is not the whole World wrapt up in Nothing?
46547Is the Fleet then arrived?
46547Matthew Prior:"Can syllogisms set things right?
46547My Spirit observed it, and having asked me, What was the reason that my Humor was so much altered?
46547Nay, are you sure he hath not hindered you from Inheriting a Crown?
46547Or does the Player beget in my Head another little Musician, with another little Lute, who has Orders like an Eccho to sing over to me the same Airs?
46547So far was he gone on in his Discourse, when the young Lad, who had led out our Philosopher, led him in again;"What, Supped already?"
46547They asked me, why I came so late?
46547To say that it is incomprehensible, that there should be a Nothing in the World, that we are in part made up of Nothing: Why not, pray?
46547Verses,"said I,"are your Inn- Keepers here curious of Rhime then?"
46547When they were come within hearing, I asked them, Where I was?
46547When you yield to the Stronger, is it not that he should be obliged to you for a Victory which you can not Dispute him?
46547Why should you then continue your Cringes, when Old Age hath made her a Ghost, which only represents a hideous Picture of Death?
46547You''ll ask me, How can it be, that I perceive at so great a distance a thing which I do not see?
46547You''ll ask me, perhaps, when ever any Cabbage imparted those lofty Conceptions to us?
46547[ 10] The incandescent electric light?
46547[ 3] Is this an anticipation of the phonograph?
46547[ Sidenote: The Soul of Plants]"For tell me, Is not that Cabbage you speak of, a Being existent in Nature, as well as you?
46547[ Sidenote: Towns in the Moon] At these words, the Landlord''s Son called his Father, to know what it was a Clock?
46547and why they fled from me in so great Consternation?
46547answered I half angry:"Have you laid a wager you''ll jeer me all this Day?"
46547must it needs be a Miracle?
46547said he in_ French_,"do you[ not] know your Friend then?"
46547what''s all that then?"
50713A friend? 50713 A radio, flares, mirrors?"
50713And now that you say it, do you know what that current is? 50713 Are there animals here without eye or light?"
50713But surely there must be some way of calling their attention even sooner?
50713But what happened when Von Borck returned here to get his space suit?
50713But why did n''t you just stay here instead of going out?
50713Can we send a message back to Earth then?
50713Could you lead me there?
50713Did you ever see one of those blasts?
50713Did you get hit?
50713Did you understand him?
50713Do n''t you know,said the other,"this is that big top- secret experimental job they were working so fast on this week?
50713Do you have a rocket on the surface?
50713Do you have flares?
50713Do you suppose Von Borck is following us?
50713Have I been out long?
50713Have you ever fired a rifle or a pistol, Robin?
50713Here? 50713 How did you ever find this passage?"
50713How did you spot that break in the wall we came through?
50713How far do you think it will go?
50713How far is White Sands from Las Cruces?
50713Is there anything there we could use to signal the Earth with?
50713No rocket? 50713 No visitors?"
50713Only how do we get to the surface? 50713 Shall I untie this or shall we jump together?"
50713Shall we wait for him to come back or shall we try to follow him?
50713Suppose the Glassies see the light?
50713The instruments in place?
50713There are many bubble- places without light?
50713This is the one they''re firing off tomorrow, is n''t it?
50713Uh huh,said Robin,"and then how do we get back down here again?"
50713Uh uh, so they say, but you notice where they moved our outfit, did n''t you? 50713 Well,"he asked Peter,"what do we do now?"
50713What am I waiting for?
50713What do we do now?
50713What happened?
50713What is it?
50713What is it?
50713What now?
50713What now?
50713What station?
50713What''s the source of the electricity?
50713What''s the trouble, fellow?
50713What?
50713Where did you get your name? 50713 Where''d he go?"
50713Who are you?
50713Who was in charge of them?
50713Wo n''t they kill you if you go back?
50713Yes, we''re lucky to be alive, but how will we ever get back to the surface now? 50713 Yes,"said Peter,"but how?"
50713Actually what could they do to him?
50713Again, escape though he might, could he save Korree too?
50713All set?"
50713And I wonder what metal this is?
50713And how do you spell your last name?"
50713And how was it he was a prisoner?
50713And what are they doing there?"
50713Are you hit?"
50713But could he risk it?
50713But escape to what?
50713But how to combine atomic explosions with controlled rocket fire?
50713But maybe you know more about our family?"
50713But now-- were these unknowns dangerous to him?
50713But what about water?
50713But what time was it now?
50713But where did he come from?
50713But who knows?"
50713Could he survive?
50713Could it be that he was already in outer space, heading for the void, never to return to Earth?
50713Could it be that the inventors had miscalculated?
50713Did you say they were firing it at six?"
50713Do you think you could get back to your rocket on the surface?"
50713Feel like some hot food?
50713Finally he reached out and tapped the Glassie and whispered,"What are those lights?"
50713Had he suddenly become weak?
50713Had they seen his flashlight?
50713Had they taken the wrong turn and come to a dead end?
50713He thought he was falling, but was it not just as likely that instead he was simply beyond gravity?
50713He was the first-- but who would ever know?
50713How about you?
50713How could he tell how long he had been asleep, how long unconscious?
50713How did he get here?
50713How did you say you got here?"
50713How do we know Von went down here?
50713How far?
50713How fast was he traveling?
50713How had his companion vanished?
50713How long had he been at this?
50713How long had he slept?
50713How was it the air was remaining fresh now, though it had gone stale while he was hiding?
50713How would you blow it up in the first place?
50713I wonder how cold it will get in this place?"
50713I wonder if this is really writing or just a design?
50713If he delayed, doled it to himself in small bits, it could only prolong the agony awhile, but would not the result still be the same?
50713If there were air, was it enough to sustain him?
50713In this tunnel?"
50713Is food here?"
50713Is there someone here who speaks English?"
50713Is this stuff good to eat?"
50713Korree said quietly,"Another prisoner or a listener?"
50713Maybe they hire civilian workers?
50713Might it not be poisonous or utterly lacking in oxygen?
50713On the back it read:_ Ready for loading._"I better put this back where it fell from,"he said, adding,"but which side is correct?
50713One of your people?
50713Or-- maybe if you enlist there they''ll let you serve there?
50713Perhaps Korree was in trouble there?
50713Real Earth food?"
50713Robin suddenly asked,"How did you learn to speak English so well?"
50713Robin was on his way to the rockets, to the famous White Sands Proving Grounds... or was he?
50713Save it for what?
50713Shall we set them off?"
50713Should he eat it now or save it?
50713Should we plant the Red flag there, or you the Stars and Stripes?
50713So... what would really happen when his rocket hit the Moon?
50713Such a chunk brought back to Earth might be worth an emperor''s ransom-- but who could think of such values here?
50713Suppose they caught him there, would he get off as lightly as he might at White Sands?
50713Surely they must have been supplied with some sort of food for their flight?
50713The question was, where could he escape to?
50713The unseen speaker spoke again:"Who is that?
50713Trackers on the job?"
50713Was it a few feet or a fraction of an inch?
50713Was it a rocket?
50713Was it after all but a daydream that he was pursuing?
50713Was it mist he was passing through?
50713Was not this then such a crossroads?
50713Was the cold reality to prove too indifferent to the hopes of just an ordinary young fellow?
50713Was there air outside, wherever it was that he found himself?
50713Was this a mistake he would regret?
50713Water-- under the Moon?
50713Were they coming to investigate?
50713What could he do?
50713What did they have of yours?"
50713What do you say, shall we spend this next week playing Columbus, looking for more bubble worlds to conquer?"
50713What even if he went to jail?
50713What had brought him in?
50713What next?
50713What then if he spent some bad hours under arrest?
50713What was going on here?
50713What was the Red Sands Station anyway?
50713What was the secret?
50713What was this?
50713When Robin had finished, he asked,"Now I want to know about you?
50713When this pack was used up, how could he make fire?
50713Where are you?"
50713Where was Red Sands?
50713Which way did you come?"
50713White Sands or Red?
50713White Sands or Red?_ From Missouri where the bus ride had ended, the time had passed with difficulty.
50713Why had he never heard of it?
50713Why not sign up and try for it?"
50713Why were they standing, he thought, why did n''t they go on in, punch their cards?
50713Would White Sands prove a disappointment?
50713_ Red_ Sands?
43235Accident?
43235Adam,the Colonel hesitated a long moment,"does the name Pickering mean anything to you?"
43235Again?
43235Ah, yes, how could I have forgotten?
43235And the second possibility?
43235And the second?
43235And you?
43235And...?
43235Another one?
43235Any idea what kind?
43235Any reason you ca n''t help?
43235Any sign of a drone with it?
43235But about Nagel...?
43235Can I tell him that?
43235Can you locate it?
43235Can you make it that fast?
43235Certainly, but about Gordon Nagel...?
43235Commander...?
43235Crag?
43235Do you know a better way?
43235Does it tell us how to get there, too?
43235Feel better?
43235For what?
43235For what?
43235How about climbing into your suits so we can get out of this can?
43235How about him?
43235How about the communicator?
43235How did we lose oxygen, Gordon?
43235How did you like the dancing girls in Gorik''s, over by the shore?
43235How far was Prochaska ahead of you?
43235How long do you figure it''ll take?
43235How long will it take to make repairs?
43235How we doing?
43235How will loss of Able affect that?
43235How will the U.N. know that?
43235How you doing, Skipper?
43235How you doing, skipper?
43235How''d you ever locate me?
43235How''s that for a stack of hogwash?
43235How... how did it get here?
43235How?
43235I''ve got it?
43235Identity?
43235Is that good?
43235Is there any possibility of telemetering her all the way in?
43235It could n''t be their atom- powered job?
43235Judging from what you''ve seen of Bandit, how long would it take to make it livable as crew quarters?
43235Ken Pickering who--"What have you heard?
43235Larkwell...?
43235Larkwell? 43235 Larkwell?"
43235Larkwell?
43235Larkwell?
43235Last night?
43235Like a mineral description of the terrain?
43235Logical to attempt to murder men?
43235Meaning...?
43235Meaning?
43235Meteorite?
43235Mind explaining?
43235More visitors?
43235No traitor?
43235No? 43235 No?"
43235No?
43235No?
43235Now what?
43235Now?
43235Now?
43235Oh?
43235On an Iron Curtain rocket?
43235Or should I say the moon?
43235Oxygen?
43235Pressure suits?
43235Ready on winch one?
43235Ready on winch two?
43235Ready, now?
43235Richter...?
43235Richter?
43235Satelloid?
43235See anything?
43235See anything?
43235Skipper, are you checking your oxygen?
43235So...?
43235Sort of startling, is n''t it?
43235Suppose there are more breaks?
43235Supposing it''s pinhole size? 43235 The drone?"
43235The psychiatrists?
43235Then?
43235There''s one thing he forgot...."What?
43235Think we might get inside?
43235Think we ought to contact Alpine?
43235Was anyone up during your watch? 43235 What about Temple?"
43235What about winding up this job first? 43235 What are we claiming?"
43235What do the computers say?
43235What do you expect to gain?
43235What do you think Pickering was up there for?
43235What do you think?
43235What do you think?
43235What does Alpine say?
43235What happened?
43235What now?
43235What now?
43235What would the loss of Able mean?
43235What''s on your mind?
43235What''s the matter, Max, no pioneer spirit?
43235What''s the maximum deadline?
43235What''s up?
43235What''s up?
43235What''s wrong? 43235 What?"
43235What?
43235What?
43235When do we take over?
43235Where are we going to get the oxygen to keep this bird alive?
43235Where are you?
43235Where were you when this happened?
43235Where were you, Gordon?
43235Where''s Larkwell?
43235Where?
43235Why ca n''t we?
43235Why did n''t he attempt to solicit your aid?
43235Why did you come, Commander?
43235Why did you come... to the moon, Gordon?
43235Why does n''t he answer?
43235Why not?
43235Why? 43235 Why?
43235Why?
43235Why?
43235Why?
43235Would you expect me to?
43235Yeah?
43235You all right?
43235You did that?
43235You mean the man in the moon?
43235You mean we''re going to lug that bastard back to the Aztec?
43235You mean...?
43235*****"Gordon Nagel, the young man on the moon flight?
43235An agent who could n''t trust a soldier of his own country, even when the chips were down?
43235And the silver job at Burning Sands?"
43235And what was he doing about it?
43235Any volunteers?"
43235Are you receiving?
43235Besides, what was his gripe?
43235But supposing the man were a consummate actor, his fear a mask to conceal his purpose?
43235But why the drone?
43235CHAPTER 10"Gordon Nagel?"
43235Colonel Gotch would be there, puffing on his pipe, his face expressionless, watching the work of many years come to... what?
43235Could Nagel hold out?
43235Could a man die of sheer exhaustion?
43235Could they possibly adapt their bodies to such an environment?
43235Damn, would n''t the man stop beating around the bush?
43235Did anyone go to the commode?"
43235Did it take more guts to do that than to double for a man slated to be murdered?
43235Do you follow me?"
43235Enemy?
43235Good Lord, did every move have to be cloak and dagger?
43235Got that?"
43235Had Larkwell been hit by a meteorite?
43235Had Larkwell-- or was it Malin?--survived the rock storm?
43235Had any progress been made toward salvaging the cargo of Drone Baker?
43235Had n''t we better record that and transmit it to Alpine?"
43235Have you a better plan?"
43235He asked Larkwell:"What do you think?"
43235He spoke again:"So, you''re our saboteur?"
43235He spoke casually, aware he might be stepping on Richter''s toes:"There''s one thing I do n''t understand....""What?"
43235His plans?
43235How does the meteorite problem look?"
43235How far south?
43235How much could they take?
43235How was the airlock in the rill progressing?
43235How''s everything going?"
43235How?
43235I just caught up to him....""What''s wrong with him?"
43235I''m a grown boy, remember?"
43235If he lived?
43235If we survive this... what next?
43235It might not be so great....""How?"
43235It was designed to protect them from the dangers of meteorite dust, but would it withstand the rain of hell to come when the warhead struck?
43235Larkwell spoke up,"How about you?"
43235Larkwell-- where was Larkwell?
43235Maybe you can guess the name we''ve selected for it?"
43235Minutes or hours?
43235No Bandit?
43235Now that Drone Able had been lost--"Golly, what''ll we do with all the room?"
43235Okay?"
43235Or could they?_ He debated the question, then quickly briefed Prochaska and cut him in on the com circuit.
43235Or would he?
43235Part of, shall we say, a well planned tactic?
43235Perhaps anti- sub patrol, eh?"
43235Red Dog?
43235Remember the Blue Door episode?
43235Remember?"
43235Richter said quietly:"Which way?"
43235Richter?
43235So why not Nagel?
43235South of Alphons?
43235Specifically, how much could_ he_ take?
43235The bird colonel heckling you?"
43235The saboteur?
43235Then what?
43235Too big for a weld?
43235Too fast?
43235Trust me?
43235Wait, what else had he said?
43235Waiting for what?
43235Was he planning, biding his time, preparing to strike?
43235Was there a safety officer down there with a finger on a button... prepared to destroy the Aztec if it wavered in flight?
43235We need a silver lining once in a while, eh?"
43235We''d have to haul one helluva lot of gear across that damned desert--""How long?"
43235What fires burned behind his placid countenance?
43235What gives?"
43235What more could go wrong?
43235What next?
43235What of the cold of night?
43235What was the extent of the radioactive field?
43235What were his thoughts?
43235What were the dimensions of Red Dog?
43235What were you planning for tonight, your last night on earth?"
43235What would Gotch do?
43235When?
43235Where to and what next?
43235Where was the most sensitive spot?
43235Where was the third man?
43235Which one?
43235Which one?
43235Who dared come here?
43235Who was the stalker and who was the stalked?
43235Who was the traitor?
43235Who?
43235Who?
43235Why not?
43235Why not?
43235Would he have had the courage to drive the satelloid into the warhead?
43235Would he please describe the rocket launcher the enemy had used to destroy the Aztec?
43235Would that be enough?
43235Would the pursued man be waiting... covering the trail behind him?
43235Would they be able to take it?
43235Yet, what could either accomplish by striking now?
43235You think not?"
43235_ Could n''t control?
43235_ Why had Gotch selected him?_ The Aztec, a silver needle plunging through space followed by her drones, all in his tender care.
43235why?"
7473A dead man?
7473A ghost?
7473Ah, is that so?
7473Ah, then you know this old shack?
7473Ai n''t yo''goin''t''hab some supper?
7473All ready?
7473Am I? 7473 Am dere two Marks?
7473An inhabitant of the moon?
7473An''did yo''all really discober dem sparklers?
7473And Reonaris is diamonds, is n''t it?
7473And could we go farther than to the moon if we wanted to?
7473And does n''t it tell about them finding a field of Reonaris?
7473And if it does work, when can we start?
7473And when do you think we will arrive?
7473And will the inspection have to be made now?
7473And will these save our lives?
7473And, speaking of eating, what''s the matter with having some lunch? 7473 Are n''t we going to look for those diamonds?"
7473Are we all ready?
7473Are we going to move any faster than this?
7473Are we really going to be walking around the moon inside of thirty minutes?
7473Are you all ready?
7473Are you badly hurt? 7473 Are you engaged at anything in particular?"
7473Are you expecting your girl to come along and bid you good- by, Mark?
7473Are you going far?
7473Are you going out, Wash?
7473Are you going to imprison me over night?
7473Are you going to try to go around it, and land on the side turned away from us?
7473Are you hurt?
7473Are you inside?
7473Are you sure, Andy?
7473But am I in time?
7473But ca n''t we do something?
7473But how are you going to get it?
7473But how can I do it?
7473But what could be their object?
7473But what did we do?
7473But what happened to you? 7473 But what have I done to you?"
7473But what is your purpose?
7473But what right have you to keep me here?
7473But who could he have been?
7473But who? 7473 But why do n''t you want me to go with them?"
7473But why do you take such an interest in me? 7473 But why do you want to be revenged on us?"
7473But why have you made me a prisoner?
7473But why?
7473But-- water?
7473Ca n''t breathe on it?
7473Ca n''t we start some other motor?
7473Ca n''t you pull the lever over faster?
7473Ca n''t you tell us more about what happened?
7473Can it be done?
7473Can it be the result of the damage which that lunatic did?
7473Can we get back to the projectile without it?
7473Can you see a place to land?
7473Can you show us the place?
7473Could anything cause us to swerve to one side?
7473Could it have been him?
7473Den how could I see one?
7473Diamonds on the moon?
7473Did I promise to wait for you at some barn?
7473Did n''t I done tole yo''dat I got t''feed my rooster? 7473 Did you find him?"
7473Did you lose some of your teeth, the reason your voice sounds so funny?
7473Did you see that?
7473Do n''t you remember how, in the trip to Mars, we nearly collided with the comet? 7473 Do n''t you think we will?"
7473Do n''t you want supper?
7473Do n''t you want to go out, and walk around the moon, and pick up diamonds?
7473Do they see us?
7473Do with you? 7473 Do you mean what did I say?"
7473Do you mean where have I been while supper was getting ready?
7473Do you mean you''re glad to see us, Wash?
7473Do you mean, were we talking about diamonds?
7473Do you think it will work?
7473Do you think it would be dangerous to venture outside the projectile?
7473Do you think they can hear that?
7473Do you think we''ll find him there?
7473Do-- do you really think we saw it-- saw the_ Annihilator_, Mark?
7473Does n''t the moon turn around?
7473Farther? 7473 Find anything wrong?"
7473Find food here?
7473Finish what?
7473Give up? 7473 Give up?"
7473Good to eat?
7473Great; is n''t it?
7473Hab-- hab we hit it yet?
7473Had n''t you better notify the police?
7473Has yo''got one ob dem torch- light processions t''spare?
7473Have you any enemies that you know of, Mark?
7473Have you met with an accident? 7473 Here, what''s the trouble?"
7473How about you, Professor Henderson? 7473 How are you going to do it?"
7473How can there be water here?
7473How can we get it?
7473How can we?
7473How did it happen?
7473How did the rooster get in here?
7473How did you avoid it?
7473How did you happen to go down there?
7473How do you know it is to start to- morrow morning?
7473How do you think it happened, Professor Henderson?
7473How fast do you think it ought to send us along?
7473How long will the supply of chemical last?
7473How much are we making now, Mark?
7473How soon before we will be ready to start?
7473How would it be if I went on a little nearer to the Preakness house?
7473How''s that?
7473How?
7473I mean could we go to Mars if we wanted to?
7473I wonder if Washington could have meddled with it?
7473I wonder if anything could have happened to him? 7473 I wonder if we can steer clear of it?"
7473I wonder if we''ll ever see them again?
7473I wonder if we''re going right?
7473I wonder if you would do me a favor?
7473I wonder what it can be?
7473I wonder what we''ll do when we get to the moon?
7473I wonder who he can be, anyhow? 7473 I''m not; but what''s the use of believing anything so wild and weird as that?
7473In a circle?
7473Is it possible? 7473 Is it really roast beef?"
7473Is the machine all right now?
7473Is this a joke, boys?
7473Live around here?
7473Look here; do you see that?
7473Looking toward our house?
7473Mark must be here, yet why does n''t he answer me? 7473 Matter?
7473Matter? 7473 Maybe; but why do n''t you ask Andy Sudds or Washington White to give their opinion?"
7473Me live here?
7473Need any help, officer?
7473No more live stock loose, is there, Jack?
7473No name signed?
7473No-- why should I?
7473No; I mean where did the accident occur?
7473No; do you?
7473No; what''s the use?
7473Oh, Mark, ca n''t you save me?
7473Oh, is it broken? 7473 Oh, is that it?"
7473Oh, only a theory; eh?
7473Oh, well, den, why did n''t yo''say so fust, dat it was only a theory? 7473 Oh, why did I ever try to learn this man''s secret?
7473On de moon? 7473 Rain?
7473Saw it? 7473 Saw what-- who?"
7473See anything?
7473Shall I fire my rifle off and scare him?
7473Shall we ask them?
7473Shall we wait and start to- morrow?
7473Slow down?
7473Sure? 7473 The moon?
7473Then how are we to get out and hunt for those diamonds, Professor?
7473Then if we''re going to camp here for the night,proposed old Andy,"what''s the matter with me and the boys having a hunt for that man?
7473Then may Mark, Andy and I see if we can find this man?
7473Then the moon was once inhabited?
7473Then we can start as soon as Mark is found?
7473Then we''ll be about a week on the way?
7473Then we''ve never seen the other side of the moon?
7473Then where are the other people?
7473Then who is he?
7473Then why do n''t you say it?
7473Then,cried Jack,"what''s to hinder us from going to the moon, and getting some of those diamonds?
7473To- night?
7473Torch- light processions?
7473WILL IT HIT US?
7473Wa''al, you know the old Preakness homestead, down by the bend of the creek, about four mile below here?
7473Waiting for who?
7473Was he anywhere near the big shed where we build the machines?
7473Was the man alive, Washington?
7473Water? 7473 We can stand a low temperature more easily than we can to be boiled; eh, Jack?"
7473Well, are we all ready to start now?
7473Well, are we all ready?
7473Well, are we going to stand here all day?
7473Well, boys, how does it feel to be in space once more?
7473Well, did yo''all see him?
7473Well, how do you feel?
7473Well, what are we going to do when the life- torches give out, and we ca n''t breathe any more?
7473Well, what''s to be done?
7473Well, which way is straight ahead?
7473Well,asked Jack cautiously,"can we go outside?"
7473What about there being no air on the moon?
7473What am I going to do? 7473 What are we going to do?"
7473What are you going to do?
7473What did I tell you?
7473What do you intend to do with me?
7473What do you mean by that?
7473What do you mean?
7473What do you think this is, an election, Wash?
7473What do you want with me?
7473What does that tramp want, Jack? 7473 What for?"
7473What has happened? 7473 What has happened?
7473What hospital was it?
7473What is it you want, Dick?
7473What is it?
7473What is it?
7473What is it?
7473What is the matter?
7473What is this?
7473What is your opinion, Professor Roumann, of the temperature at the moon''s surface?
7473What of it? 7473 What strengthens your belief?"
7473What was the man doing when you saw him?
7473What was yo''pleased t''saggasiate, in remarkin''concernin''de untranquility ob the densityness ob stones jumpin''ober a man what is six times high?
7473What will we do, if we get thirsty?
7473What''s dat?
7473What''s that?
7473What''s that?
7473What''s that?
7473What''s the matter, Washington?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the matter?
7473What''s the use?
7473What''s wrong?
7473What, for instance?
7473What-- another thing to delay us?
7473What-- to- night?
7473What?
7473What?
7473What?
7473What?
7473Whatever happened to you, Mark? 7473 Where am dose diamonds, Massa Jack?"
7473Where are you going?
7473Where are you going?
7473Where did you meet him?
7473Where did you meet the man?
7473Where is Professor Henderson, Wash? 7473 Where was he?"
7473Where''s Mark? 7473 Where?"
7473Where?
7473Who are you, and what have I done to you, that you should treat me this way? 7473 Who is he?
7473Who would want to injure us, or damage the projectile?
7473Who''s that?
7473Who-- me? 7473 Why did n''t you come home?"
7473Why did n''t you wait for me at the barn, when I went to send the telegram, as you promised you would?
7473Why not? 7473 Why not?"
7473Why, I suppose you''ll make a dive for a hatful of diamonds, wo n''t you? 7473 Why, Mark, what happened?"
7473Why, what''s the matter?
7473Why? 7473 Why?"
7473Why?
7473Why?
7473Will it hit us?
7473Will it take long?
7473Will they pass us by?
7473Will we ever get there?
7473Will you not give up this plan?
7473Will you promise to be quiet, and not kick up a fuss if I get you something to eat?
7473Will you tell me your name?
7473Would n''t that make you tired?
7473Yes, but can you pull me up?
7473Yes, but what good will it do us? 7473 Yes; do n''t you remember?"
7473Yes; why not?
7473You do n''t know where he lives, or whether he is staying in this vicinity, do you?
7473You do n''t mean to say you think we''ll be all day finding the Annihilator, do you?
7473You do n''t mean to say you want to go back there, and run the chance of being attacked by the savage Martians, do you?
7473You do n''t mean to tell me that you believe that preposterous story, do you, Jack?
7473You have n''t seen any suspicious characters around, have you, Wash?
7473You mean you''ll join us?
7473You wo n''t start for the moon until you find him, will you, Professor?
7473You''ll go, too, wo n''t you, Mark?
7473Am anybody hurted?"
7473An''s''posin''some ob dem moon men takes a notion t''throw a stone at me?
7473And how he knows me?"
7473And what of the grains of wheat they find in the coffins of Egyptian mummies?
7473Andy, where''s your gun?"
7473Are you anywhere about?"
7473Are you crazy?
7473Are you hurt?"
7473BACK TO EARTH-- CONCLUSION CHAPTER I A WONDERFUL STORY"Well, what do you think of it, Mark?"
7473But are you sure you are well enough to go with us?
7473But suppose you have made some error?
7473But then what can be expected of lads who had gone to Mars and back again?
7473But what do you mean?"
7473But what made you think the writing looked like that of the crazy machinist who tried to wreck the projectile?"
7473But what makes you think this man was an enemy, Professor?"
7473But where am Massa Mark?"
7473But where did you get a rope?"
7473But would it act in time?
7473CHAPTER II SOMETHING ABOUT OUR HEROES"Are you in earnest in proposing this trip?"
7473CHAPTER III PREPARING FOR A VOYAGE"Seems like rather an odd thing; does n''t it?"
7473CHAPTER XVI"WILL IT HIT US?"
7473CHAPTER XXVII THE BLACK POOL"What are you going to do, Andy?"
7473Ca n''t we go, Professor?"
7473Can I be mistaken?"
7473Can you hold on with one hand long enough to slip the loop of this rope over your shoulders?"
7473Could n''t we start to- night?"
7473Diamonds on de moon, eh?
7473Diamonds on de moon, eh?
7473Diamonds on de moon, eh?"
7473Did either of you boys touch it?"
7473Did you fall?"
7473Did you learn who he was, Mark?"
7473Do n''t you know that you are liable to arrest for this?"
7473Do n''t you remember you and I had it when we were fixing the pipes outside the projectile, when we had the other breakdown?
7473Do we have to do anything to the torches to make them operate, Professor Roumann?"
7473Do you live here?"
7473Do you need a doctor?"
7473Does any one know?"
7473Get me the negative plate remover, will you, Mark?"
7473Guess that''ll convince you; wo n''t it?"
7473Have you caught some disease?"
7473Have you made any calculation as to speed?"
7473Heah him crowin''now?
7473How about it, Professor Henderson?"
7473How can I do it?"
7473How could a ghost be alive?
7473How did you happen to be taken to a hospital?"
7473How much longer would they last?
7473I had a good look at him, an''----""Who was it?"
7473I wonder if I ca n''t get loose?"
7473I wonder if this can be the person we''re looking for?"
7473I wonder what can be the matter?"
7473I wonder what dey''ll be doin''next?
7473I wonder what''s wrong?"
7473I wonder where we can go next?"
7473If we are in danger of hitting another one of those things, or even a meteor, we''ll steer out of the way, wo n''t we?"
7473If you want t''see him, why do n''t you go there?"
7473In a hospital?
7473Is it anything bad?"
7473Is n''t Mark home?"
7473Is that the moon?"
7473Is that water?"
7473Is your stateroom all fixed up?"
7473It is in good working order; is n''t it, Professor Roumann?"
7473It is one of the new tools we got, and it has not been used for anything; has it?".
7473It was real, then?"
7473It''s jest in theory, am it, Massa Mark, dat a stone goes six times as far?"
7473Mark says I''m wrong, but, Professor Henderson, is n''t Reonaris to the Martians what diamonds are to us?"
7473Or would the meteor prove too powerful for it?
7473Shall I seal the door?"
7473That was n''t wrong, was it?"
7473They looked up at his excitable entrance, and Mr. Henderson called out:"Why, Jack, what''s the matter?"
7473Was it an answer, or merely the echo of his own voice?
7473Was n''t he helping you catch the rooster?"
7473Were you about to start?"
7473Whar''ll I be, when a stone goes six times as far as it does on heah?
7473What became of you?
7473What can I do?"
7473What caused it?"
7473What did we bring it along for if we''re not going to eat?
7473What do you mean?"
7473What do you reckon did it, boys?"
7473What dreadful mystery were they about to penetrate?
7473What happened to the rock of meat, Andy?"
7473What happened?"
7473What has become of your life- torch?"
7473What was that?
7473What would happen in the desolate darkness?
7473What''s up, anyhow?"
7473When does the projectile start?"
7473Where are you?"
7473Where have you been?
7473Where have you been?
7473Where have you been?"
7473Where is the mysterious man?
7473Where were you hurt?"
7473Where yo''all been?"
7473Where?"
7473Who could have done this?
7473Who is he, anyhow?
7473Who is the fellow who has been masquerading as you?"
7473Who''s afraid?"
7473Why did he do it?"
7473Why did n''t I wait for Jack at the barn, as I promised?
7473Why did n''t you capture my chum Jack, too, while you were about it?"
7473Why did n''t you wait for me?"
7473Why did you come alone?
7473Why do n''t they go on without that confounded rooster?
7473Why do n''t you leave for the moon to- night, professor?"
7473Why not?
7473Why was this man off here alone?"
7473Will I be in time?"
7473Will you come, Andy?"
7473Will you help me remove the knocker?
7473With the temperature at twenty- eight when the sun was shining, what might it not fall to in the darkness?
7473Would he be in time?
7473Would it send them along through space at enormous speed?
7473Would it work as well as had the Etherium one?
7473the negative plate remover not there?"
16457A bolide? 16457 A vacuum?"
16457Ah, who indeed?
16457All right and proper,said Ardan;"why should n''t she have one of her own?"
16457And do all astronomers admit its existence?
16457And famous actors, and singers, and composers, and-- and photographers?
16457And mine?
16457And philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Bacon, Kant?
16457And poets like Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakspeare, Göthe and Hugo?
16457And scientists like Euclid, Archimedes, Copernicus, Newton, Pascal?
16457And supposing the Earth to fall into the Sun?
16457And when is it to befall us?
16457And who can assert that the Moon did not exist long before the Earth was called into being at all? 16457 And you can handle the instrument right before my eyes?"
16457And you can rely on your figures?
16457Any sign of them yet, gentlemen?
16457Ardan,asked Barbican,"do you think people could beat iron without a hammer, or turn up furrows without a plough?"
16457Are we falling or are we not?
16457At how many degrees is the temperature of the interplanetary space estimated?
16457Barbican,asked M''Nicholl suddenly,"what peak is that which lies almost directly south of_ Pico_?
16457Besides, even admitting that the Sun will not soon be extinguished, what is to prevent the Earth from shooting away from him?
16457Besides?
16457But is the air replaced by nothing?
16457But the bullet?
16457But you can form a few hypotheses?
16457But you saw them once, did n''t you?
16457By Jove,suddenly exclaimed Ardan,"why did n''t we start at the moment of Full Earth?--that is when our globe and the Sun were in opposition?"
16457Ca n''t we modify the Projectile''s movement?
16457Ca n''t you attach thirty of them to the Nautilus and sink us again?
16457Can the divers readily reach such depths?
16457Can we start to- morrow?
16457Can you say as much?
16457Cooled off?
16457Correct it?
16457Could you have done it yourself?
16457Dear boys, will you allow me to give my little guess on the subject?
16457Did you ever understand what is meant by a_ double ordinate_?
16457Did you hear that report, friend Michael?
16457Did you see nothing whatever during the night, Professor?
16457Did you, friend Barbican?
16457Do n''t I though?
16457Do n''t I though?
16457Do n''t you approve of my suggestion, Captain?
16457Do n''t you see a fine ribbon of light?
16457Do n''t you see the furrows? 16457 Do you consider these buoys powerful enough to lift the Projectile, Captain?"
16457Do you forget the rockets?
16457Does it make any real difference whether it is one or the other?
16457Doing what? 16457 For surely you would not venture to assert that the Moon is uninhabitable by a race of beings having an organization different from ours?"
16457Friend Michael, you say we''re moving?
16457Have you ever seen the Moon?
16457Have you never heard of the principle of compensation? 16457 Have you nothing to say either, Captain?"
16457Hello?
16457Here, friend Michael, get me a cord, wo n''t you? 16457 Hey?"
16457How about being ahead of time?
16457How do the general heights of the Himalayahs compare with those of the highest lunar mountains?
16457How do you know that they have not made such an attempt?
16457How have we forgotten them?
16457How in the world can you tell?
16457How is it that we can not see her?
16457How is it that we see him only through the bottom light of our Projectile?
16457How is that?
16457How much did you say?
16457How much is its diameter?
16457How shall we start this experiment?
16457How so, friend Michael?
16457How so?
16457How would you like to pay for your light by the loss of the atmosphere, which, according to some philosophers, is piled away on the dark side?
16457How''s that, Barbican?
16457How''s that?
16457How??
16457How??
16457I do n''t deny it, dear friend,said Barbican quietly, notwithstanding the unceremonious interruption;"but why do you say so just now?"
16457I hope it''s not the''cup- lead''you are using, Brownson?
16457If it is not one, in fact, what can it be?
16457If so, what should be their height?
16457In consequence of the explosion?
16457In the dark?
16457Is it of the slightest possible importance which of the two curves controls the Projectile?
16457Is that really the case, Captain?
16457Is the Chair,asked Ardan,"to infer from the honorable gentleman''s observations that he considers the Moon to be a world much older than the Earth?"
16457Is there not a telescope at Long''s Peak? 16457 Killed?"
16457Landscape,Ardan said;"what do you mean by a landscape?
16457Let us see, Barbican,asked M''Nicholl;"where has Petit''s calculation placed us?"
16457Let''s see,asked Ardan,"who was Fourier, and who was Pouillet?"
16457Mac, my boy,said Ardan seriously,"do n''t it strike you as a little out of order to ask how you are to return when you have not got there yet?"
16457Made it? 16457 Moving?
16457No more?
16457No? 16457 Nor diminish its velocity?"
16457Not bad,smiled Barbican approvingly;"only where is the hand that flung the stone or threw the ball?"
16457Not even by lightening it, as a heavily laden ship is lightened, by throwing cargo overboard?
16457Now then what is this Integral Calculus of yours?
16457Now then, Ardan, what do_ you_ say to the first question? 16457 Now then?"
16457Now those not quite up to Mont Blanc?
16457Now what is the consequence of this law? 16457 Now, my boys,"Ardan went on,"all things thus turning out quite comfortable, I would just ask you why we should not succeed?
16457One, for instance?
16457Our external temperature may be reckoned at how much?
16457Perhaps your philosophership has taken the trouble to calculate how many years it will take our unfortunate_ Terra Mater_ to cool off?
16457Probably not,said Ardan,"but why not?"
16457Ready?
16457Rows of sugar cane?
16457Shall my muscular strength diminish in the same proportion?
16457Shall we commence at once?
16457So much as a third?
16457Softly again, dear boy,said Barbican;"how do you know that our Projectile must pull up somewhere?"
16457Spillikins?
16457Suppose we reach this dead point,asked Ardan;"what then is to become of us?"
16457Switched off? 16457 That is the fate in store for our Earth?"
16457That''s_ Mare Nectaris_, the gray spot over there on the southwest, is n''t it?
16457The Japanese Current, Captain?
16457The Sun?
16457The hand is hardly necessary,replied Ardan, by no means disconcerted;"but as for the ball, what do you say to a comet?"
16457The most elegant French I ever heard, backed by the purest Parisian accent,replied Barbican, highly amused;"Do n''t you think so, Captain?"
16457The next in rank?
16457Then I ask again,said the Frenchman;"why have n''t they made such an attempt?"
16457These cocks and hens?
16457Towards the Moon?
16457Very true, my dear boy,observed Barbican;"but how could we breathe?"
16457Very well then, why?
16457Was Galileo tolerably successful in his calculations?
16457Well, Lieutenant, how goes the sounding?
16457Well, did you ever see any of them strike the Earth''s surface?
16457Well, what are you thinking of?
16457Well?
16457Well?
16457What Delphic oracle says so?
16457What ails you?
16457What are those peaks beyond him?
16457What are you going to do with these chickens?
16457What body, for instance?
16457What can be the cause of this peculiarity?
16457What can we do?
16457What can we throw overboard? 16457 What do you conclude from this rigmarole of yours?"
16457What do you know?
16457What do you mean by such a question, Captain?
16457What do you mean by your cultivated fields?
16457What do you mean by''relatively motionless''?
16457What do you mean?
16457What do you mean?
16457What do you mean?
16457What for?
16457What have you got?
16457What have you to say to that, Barbican?
16457What have you to say to that, Barbican?
16457What is it then?
16457What is your opinion on this point, Barbican?
16457What noise was that?
16457What of it? 16457 What on earth can such a consarn be, Barbican?"
16457What other view?
16457What peaked mountain is that which we have just passed on our right?
16457What shall we do, Barbican?
16457What''s that?
16457What''s that?
16457What''s the depth, Coleman?
16457What''s the matter now?
16457What''s the matter?
16457What''s the matter?
16457What''s the use of a man writing to you if he ca n''t send you what he writes?
16457What''s the use of his sending it to you if he can have it read without that trouble?
16457What''s up now?
16457What? 16457 What?"
16457What??
16457What??
16457When? 16457 When?"
16457Where are those furrows?
16457Where are we now?
16457Where can they have gone to?
16457Where for?
16457Where is that infernal Pro-- pro-- jectile?
16457Where is the Moon?
16457Where''s the Moon?
16457Which are the chief lunar mountains that exceed Mont Blanc in altitude?
16457Which is as much as to say--?
16457Which is the highest in the lot?
16457Which must have been attended with a tremendous report?
16457Who can tell?
16457Who says there are no Selenites?
16457Who says they have not done so?
16457Who shall say what thou art? 16457 Why conceal them then?"
16457Why did n''t we execute this grand manoeuvre the first time we reached the neutral point?
16457Why did n''t we fasten a wire to the Projectile?
16457Why did we not hear that report?
16457Why may not there be something plausible in such a hypothesis?
16457Why not calculate the exact fraction of a second it would take to cook a couple of eggs?
16457Why not consider them,he asked,"to be the simple phenomena of vegetation?"
16457Why not tell it at once then to a fellow that''s dying of impatience to know all about it? 16457 Why not?"
16457Why not?
16457Why not?
16457Why not?
16457Why so?
16457Why so?
16457Why so?
16457Why so?
16457Will either take us anywhere that you know of?
16457Will either take us back to the Earth?
16457With what object?
16457You can show me how they got at the initial velocity of our Projectile?
16457You can?
16457You do n''t mean surely that we''re going to sit here, like bumps on a log, doing nothing until it will be too late to attempt anything?
16457You do n''t mean to say, Barbican,observed M''Nicholl,"that Petit has seen this very one?"
16457You mean it''s all the Moon''s fault, do n''t you, in setting herself like a screen between us and the Sun?
16457You think so?
16457You understand now, Ardan, do n''t you?
16457You want a receipt, do n''t you, Captain?
16457You''ll not give us an answer when we ask you a reasonable question?
16457You''re in earnest?
16457Your second reason?
16457_ Mille tonerres!_cried Ardan, greatly excited;"what is that?
16457_ Vive la Science!_ Henceforward, what miscreant will persist in saying that the Savants are good for nothing? 16457 A nice pair of scientists you are? 16457 A sea, according to the early astronomers? 16457 A thin, pale, silvery crescent?
16457A wonderful head, the Boss''s, is n''t it M''Nicholl?"
16457Ah, who can tell?}
16457Am I ever to see my ideal of a true scientific man in the flesh?
16457Am I right, Signor Barbicani, maestro illustrissimo?"
16457Am_ I_ alive?
16457And if air, why not water?
16457And suppose some lunar Etna or Vesuvius was flashing out its fires, was it not even possible that their eye could catch a glimpse of the lurid gleam?
16457And was all danger over?
16457And what is the trouble?"
16457And-- now I think on it-- why not fling ourselves out through the window?
16457Another question of greater moment to us just now is: where are we?
16457Anyway, what else could have happened?
16457Are we so shiftless that we ca n''t do without them when we get to the Moon?"
16457As they could neither reach the Moon nor return to the Earth, what_ was_ to befall them?
16457At last, impatient of further restraint, he burst out:"Who the deuce cares for her secrets?
16457At sea, where between waves or winds or paddles or screws or machinery, everything is tremor, quiver or jar?
16457At what rate was the Projectile now moving?
16457At what velocity was the Projectile now moving?
16457Atmosphere is gas, great in volume, small in matter; where would there be room for it?
16457Barbican?"
16457Besides, what is easier?
16457Burning_ in vacuo_?
16457But did it also convince them of the existence of an atmosphere on her surface whose vivifying molecules would render_ life_ possible?
16457But did our friends complain of the new perils now looming up before them?
16457But during those two hours of immersion in the dark shadow, had this distance been increased or diminished?
16457But had the impression made on the travellers''eyes been a mere vision or the result of a reality?
16457But how about the Sun, Barbican?
16457But how do you propose attaching them to the Projectile?"
16457But how long was this good fortune of theirs going to last?
16457But how to account for the_ grooves_?
16457But if they have_ not_ been able to do so, why, they''re not a bit wiser than ourselves-- But what''s the matter with the Projectile?
16457But in fifteen days later, where would the Projectile be?
16457But that greenish tint-- to what was it due?
16457But the velocity being undeniably very moderate, how explain such a decided resistance to Lunar attraction?
16457But was nothing to be gained by the trip?
16457But was such an operation possible?
16457But was the death of the adventurers so very certain after all?
16457But what has become of its motion?
16457But what_ was_ the nearest port?
16457But why are there cracks?
16457But would not the heat of the long day be great enough to thaw it back again?
16457But, Ardan, why do you insist on Lunarians?
16457But-- by the way-- Barbican, are there any eclipses in the Moon?"
16457But_ were_ they falling?
16457By the bye-- talking of Marston-- if we never return to the Earth, what is to prevent him from following us to the Moon?"
16457By what geological phenomena could this blazing coma have been possibly produced?
16457By what?"
16457Ca n''t a man write without being obliged to send his letters?"
16457Can it be another projectile?"
16457Can not gun- cotton be readily manufactured on any occasion?
16457Can that be the Earth?"
16457Can we point out some analogies to this on the Earth?
16457Can you call a bottle of ink intensely black, spilled over a sheet of paper intensely white, a landscape?"
16457Can you see anything?"
16457Captain, have you any smoked glass?"
16457Catch the idea now, eh?"
16457Chess, draughts, cards, dominoes-- everything in fact, but a billiard table?"
16457Clear?"
16457Could Belfast have announced to the world such a startling piece of intelligence?
16457Could an observation so rapid, so fleeting, so superficial, be really regarded as a genuine scientific affirmation?
16457Could he have caught a glimpse of it at its reappearance?
16457Could such a feeble glimmer of the invisible disc justify them in pronouncing a decided opinion on the inhabitability of the Moon?
16457Could the wine have caused it?
16457Could they be rivers of lava once vomited from that centre by resistless volcanic agency and afterwards crystallized into glassy rock?
16457Could they do so, even if they had desired?
16457DON''T I THOUGH?
16457Dear friends, how is that for high?"
16457Diana''s nimbus?
16457Did he really see all this?
16457Did n''t I rescue you from certain death with these two hands?
16457Did n''t I tell you so?"
16457Did n''t he by means of the Monster Telescope, see the Projectile, as large as life, whirling round and round the Moon?
16457Did not Belfast know his business?
16457Did not Mr. M''Connell see it also?"
16457Did not the Captain know his business?
16457Did not the truth of one incident render the other an absolute impossibility?
16457Did not the_ party_ gain by it?
16457Did not these strange successive names somewhat justify his flights of fancy?
16457Did the neighborhood of some mysterious body retain it firmly imbedded in ether?
16457Did they mean to say that he had seen nothing at all?
16457Did they mean to say that the bowsprit of the_ Susquehanna_ had not been broken off?
16457Did they really catch a glimpse of the mysterious invisible disc that the eye of man had never before lit upon?
16457Do n''t you remember a conversation we had with you one day?
16457Do n''t you see Barbican''s shoulder still bleeding by the violence of the shock?"
16457Do n''t you see three broken pillars lying beside their pedestals?
16457Do you forget, you herd of ignoramuses, that the Projectile weighs only ten tons?"
16457Do you know, Barbican?"
16457Do you think such a question ever occurred to them?
16457Do you think that their inhabitants are as ignorant regarding their satellites as we are regarding ours?"
16457Do you, or do you not, think that the Moon resembles the Earth in being the abode of animals and intelligent beings?
16457Do your hear?
16457Do_ real_ scientists lose their tempers for a trifle?
16457Do_ you_ mean to say you understand the terrible jargon, Captain?"
16457Does n''t it bring the Moon within a few miles of the Rocky Mountains, and enable us to see on her surface, objects as small as nine feet in diameter?
16457Does not everything point out to one great cause of their origin?
16457Does not its parallelism with the mountain chain suggest a causative relation?
16457Does not this plain look like--?"
16457Doing how?"
16457Doing?
16457Eh, Captain?"
16457Eighteen years from now, will she not occupy exactly the same spot that she does to- day?"
16457Even if desirous to act otherwise, what could they have done?
16457First:_ Is the Moon inhabitable?_ Second:_ Has the Moon ever been inhabited?_""That''s the way to go about it,"said the Captain.
16457First:_ Is the Moon inhabitable?_ Second:_ Has the Moon ever been inhabited?_""That''s the way to go about it,"said the Captain.
16457HOW IS THAT FOR HIGH?
16457Had Barbican''s ingenuity been attended with a fortunate result?
16457Had he seen the Projectile before it vanished behind the Moon''s north pole?
16457Had not Belfast seen the Projectile?
16457Had not Bloomsbury seen the Projectile?
16457Had not they always said how it was to end?
16457Had one among them, our friend Marston, for instance, been favored with a glimpse at the interior of the projectile, what would he have seen?
16457Had she ever been a beautiful world of life, and color, and magnificent variety?
16457Had the Projectile come within the sphere of some strange unknown influence?
16457Had the Projectile suddenly become a great metallic coffin bearing its ghastly contents through the air with the rapidity of a lightning flash?
16457Had the shock been sufficiently deadened by the springs, the buffers, the water layers, and the partitions so readily ruptured?
16457Had this path been disturbed by that dangerous meteor?
16457Hang the Eye of Science-- will either curve take us to the Moon?"
16457Has what we have seen confirmed any theory of yours or confounded any hypothesis?
16457Have astronomers any valid reasons for supposing the atmosphere to have fled to the dark side of the Moon?"
16457Have n''t we insured the Earth for 400 thousand years?''
16457Have they done anything?
16457Have they seen anything?
16457Have you any doubts whatever of the effectiveness of your brilliant and extremely original idea?
16457Have you not enough to trouble you otherwise?
16457Have you not often seen the November meteors, for instance, streaking the skies, thousands at a time?"
16457Have you seen enough to induce you to adopt decided conclusions?
16457Having come so near the Moon-- about 30 miles-- why had not the Projectile gone all the way?
16457How about the other planets, Barbican?
16457How are we going to amuse ourselves?
16457How can our Baltimore Gun Club Projectile then escape the universal law?
16457How could they imagine that the Observatory men had committed such a blunder?
16457How do we detect the existence of life?
16457How do you make that out?"
16457How is that for high?"
16457How is that for high?"
16457How is the line now?"
16457How soon?"
16457How were they to know, they asked him, the precise instant at which the Projectile would reach the neutral point?
16457I''m a plagiarist, am I?"
16457If Bloomsbury was right, was not Belfast an ass?
16457If they were moving the explosion must have taken place; but if the explosion had taken place, why had they not heard the report?
16457If they write words of even a few hundred yards and sentences a mile or two long, what is to prevent us from reading them?
16457In either alternative, what should be the lot of the daring adventurers?
16457In fact, what could be more tantalizing?
16457In fact, who can assert that the Earth itself is not a great piece broken off the Moon?
16457In fact, who can even assert that the Moon has always been the Earth''s satellite?"
16457In heaven''s name, what''s up?"
16457In what direction would it have been drawn by the forces innumerable of attractions incalculable?
16457Is it at rest?
16457Is it not by_ movement_?
16457Is n''t it, Barbican?"
16457Is n''t that very like a bull, Mr. Philosopher Barbican?"
16457Is not the Columbiad still at Stony Hill?
16457Is not_ motion_ its result, no matter what may be its organization?"
16457Is such a body in motion?
16457It must therefore have been formed by several eruptions in succession, but in that case what had become of the ejected matter?
16457Marston hobbled eagerly towards him and asked:"What have you done towards fishing them up, Captain?"
16457Nearer to her or further off?
16457Now that you have established the existence of your humanity in the Moon, the Chair would respectfully ask how it has all so completely disappeared?"
16457Now the Projectile at this moment was nearing this point; if it reached it, what would be the consequence?
16457Now what_ have_ we seen?
16457Of course you have calculated the weight of a wire 240 thousand miles long?"
16457Of course, you are both still desirous of reaching the Moon?"
16457Oh what??
16457Oh what??
16457Oh, Michael, Michael, why did n''t you know the Captain earlier?"
16457On land, where the dwellings, whether in populous city or lonely country, continually experience every shock that thrills the Earth''s crust?
16457On what does the honorable gentleman base his_ most firm conviction_?"
16457Or to that of the lava covering it here and there?
16457Or to the color resulting from the mixture of other colors seen at a distance too great to allow of their being distinguished separately?
16457Or was it rushing resistlessly into infinity on the wings of that pitchy night?
16457Our tenement may become our coffin, eh?
16457Prince Esterhazy''s Tokay?
16457Shall we ever live to see direct communication established with the Moon?
16457Should n''t we be as safe out there as that bolide?
16457Showers, storms, fogs, rainbows-- is not the whole mortal life of man comprised in these four words?
16457So we must remain shut up in our Projectile?"
16457Solidified by the intense cold?
16457Surely the cone of the Earth''s shadow must extend far enough to envelop her surface?"
16457That it would never reach the Moon, was now beyond all doubt; but where was it going?
16457The Moon could never be reached, but was it not possible that her surface could be carefully observed?
16457The Projectile weighs about 20 thousand pounds, or 10 tons?"
16457The blazing head of the great bolt that rivets the lunar hemispheres in union inseverable?
16457The breakfast?
16457The first question all asked was: Is it genuine or bogus?
16457The golden clasp of her floating robes?
16457The living or the dead?
16457The probability is that we shall never--""Excuse me, Lieutenant,"interrupted the unrebuffed little Midshipman;"Ca n''t Barbican write?"
16457Then again as to her atmosphere-- why should she have lost her atmosphere?
16457Then, what was their Projectile to become?
16457Therefore, in a map of the Moon, as the bottom means the north and the top the south, why does not the right mean the west and the left the east?
16457These two movements have certainly equal periods now; why not always?"
16457Those nights and days, for instance, 354 hours long?"
16457To a dense tropical vegetation maintained by a low atmosphere, a mile or so in thickness?
16457To the actual color of the surface itself?
16457To what cause was this tint to be attributed?
16457Try a little water?"
16457Was it not a distinct contradiction of the whole story told by their opponents?
16457Was it of a nature to justify immediate action or not?
16457Was its present condition a foreshadowing of what our Earth is to become?
16457Was n''t it what anybody''s common sense expected?
16457Was not the Great Telescope then good for anything?
16457Was that all the Earth was ever to know of their great enterprise?
16457Was the Moon habitable?
16457Was the Moon older or younger than the Earth in the order of Creation?
16457Was the curve therefore_ not_ parabolic?
16457Was there any ground for hope?
16457Was there anything more absurd ever conceived?
16457Were n''t we both half- killed by the shock?
16457Were not his eyes good for anything?
16457Were they at last, contrary to all expectations, about to reach the goal that they had been so ardently wishing for?
16457Were they shooting through space like a meteor?
16457Were they three corpses?
16457Were we not struck by a comet''s tail in 1861?"
16457What can this be?"
16457What could all this mean?
16457What could be the nature of this radiating aureola?
16457What could have produced the deviation?
16457What could such a charge do with a ball weighing 30 times as much or 15,000 pounds?
16457What did it contain?
16457What did they see, what could they see at a distance so uncertain that Barbican has never been able even to guess at it?
16457What did this prove?
16457What do I care for them?
16457What do I say?
16457What do we mean by heating water?
16457What do you call it, Barbican?"
16457What do you think of another comparison?
16457What do you think of that lofty comparison, hey?"
16457What do you want of this cord, Barbican?"
16457What effect had been produced by the frightful concussion?
16457What had become of the resolutions they had discussed so ably and passed so decidedly a few hours before?
16457What had brought about this great revulsion in the spirits of our bold adventurers?
16457What had taken place within the Projectile?
16457What had taken place?
16457What has done it?
16457What if the atmosphere had really withdrawn to this dark face?
16457What is it anyhow?
16457What is it called?
16457What is it that he do n''t know?
16457What is the first"sea"you find in the hemisphere on the left?
16457What is the use of pestering our brains about it?
16457What is the_ Mare_ itself?
16457What kind of an artillery man is he who ca n''t master his bullets?
16457What makes it so hot?
16457What matters the exact term so you comprehend me?"
16457What of it?"
16457What of that?
16457What pen can describe it?
16457What pencil can reproduce the magnificence of its coloring?
16457What reply can you make to a man who has sounded the dark abysses of the_ Plato_ crater?
16457What thundering thing is coming at us now?"
16457What was he doing at the time?
16457What was his bustling, honest, good- natured, impetuous heart at now?
16457What was it?
16457What was the cause?
16457What were the speculations of the Scientific World upon the subject?
16457What were they doing just now?
16457What would be the consequence?
16457What would the investigator gain by charging the quack with murder?
16457What would the_ Belfasters_ say now?
16457What''s to prevent Barbican and his friends from constructing a gigantic alphabet?
16457What?
16457What_ did_ they see?
16457What_ had_ switched them off?
16457What_ had_ switched them off?
16457When Ardan learned that he was responsible for the whole trouble, do you think the information disconcerted him?
16457When we get to the Moon, what shall we do there?
16457When you land on a peak or on a steep mountain side, where are you?
16457When?"
16457Whence proceeded this strange intoxication whose consequences might have proved so disastrous?
16457Where are we going to?
16457Where did you get that word?
16457Where in fact could they have found a spot more favorable for undisturbed repose?
16457Where were they now, at eight o''clock in the morning of the day called in America the sixth of December?
16457Which of the two curves had been the one most probably taken by the Projectile?
16457Who can say that our romantic French friend was altogether wrong in thus explaining the astute fancies of the old astronomers?
16457Who can say what is still in store for us?
16457Who could tell, know, calculate-- who could even guess, amid the horror of this gloomy blackness?
16457Who knows if our poor friends are still alive?"
16457Who would have ever dreamed of even the possibility of such an encounter?
16457Who?"
16457Why am I then forced to stop?
16457Why did it not fall?
16457Why did n''t we hear the report?"
16457Why did n''t we think of it before?
16457Why did n''t you bring a scaphander and an air pump?
16457Why did not they make you a professor of astronomy?
16457Why do people grease the axles?
16457Why do you think so?"
16457Why have they not fired a projectile from the regions lunar to the regions terrestrial?"
16457Why not?"
16457Why should it sink into craters?
16457Why should we not arrive there?"
16457Why so?
16457Will any Air Line of space navigation ever undertake to start a system of locomotion between the different members of the solar system?
16457Will not the Moon again pass through the zenith of Florida?
16457Worse than the sunken reefs of the Southern Seas or the snags of the Mississippi, how could the Projectile be expected to avoid them?
16457Would n''t it be glorious to fish them up alive and well?
16457Would not our first installation of discovery have been under circumstances decidedly extremely favorable?
16457Would not they hold down their heads in confusion and disgrace?
16457Would not this be enough to infuse life into the whole continent?
16457Yes, or no?"
16457Yes, or no?"
16457You do n''t see them?
16457You understand, do n''t you?"
16457[ Illustration: HOW IS THAT FOR HIGH?]
16457_ Could_ they ever get back?
16457_ Vive_--"--"But what has all this to do with the question under discussion?"
16457_ Was the Moon inhabited?
16457_ d_, the distance from the centre of the Earth to the centre of the Moon is 56 terrestrial radii, which the Captain calculates to be...?"
16457_ g_ gravity being at Florida about 32- 1/4 feet, of course_ g_ x_ r_ must be-- how much, Captain?"
16457a plain of solid sand, according to later authority?
16457an optical delusion or the shadow of a solid fact?
16457and such heat would be capable of--?"
16457and what, pray, is ether?"
16457are we not fully prepared?"
16457as Marston whispered to those around him; otherwise how could they have ever run up that flag?
16457asked Ardan, triumphantly;"Where''s the bullet?
16457asked Ardan,"you think they have artists like Phidias, Michael Angelo and Raphael?"
16457asked Ardan;"a perfect vacuum?"
16457asked Barbican,"right beneath us?
16457asked Barbican:"even if there_ is_ any life--?"
16457asked M''Nicholl,"no total eclipses in the Moon?
16457asked M''Nicholl;"is there any likelihood of our getting a better view of it?"
16457cried Ardan, in a mocking tone,"is there really anything that Mathematics ca n''t do?"
16457cried Ardan,"another satellite besides the Moon?
16457cried the Captain;"this going to the Moon is all very well, but how shall we get back?"
16457cried the versatile Ardan,"Why do you think, Barbican, that we are at present beyond the limits of the terrestrial atmosphere?"
16457exclaimed Barbican;"What is the meaning of it, Sir?"
16457exclaimed Barbican;"cumbered yourself with such gimcracks?"
16457he cried in despair;"Barbican, must we really give you up though separated from us by the short distance of only a few miles?"
16457observed Ardan, apparently much surprised;"who''d have thought it?
16457or an immense forest, according to De la Rue of London, so far the Moon''s most successful photographer?
16457or as Mount Washington?
16457or as Ætna?
16457or ever even be heard from?
16457protested Ardan;"What next?"
16457real or got up by the stockbrokers?
16457should I have offered to take you there without a good object in view?"
16457the few seconds we should require for flinging out poor Satellite?"
16457the truth of the Bloomsbury dispatch?
16457what do you mean?
16457what else?"
16457what shall we do?"
16457{ Return?
12901A bolis, on fire, in the void?
12901A sportsman? 12901 Agreed,"answered Nicholl;"but is not the moon habitable for beings differently organised to us?"
12901Agreed,answered Nicholl;"but why should not these movements have been equal, since they are so actually?"
12901Agreed,said Barbicane,"but how are we to breathe?"
12901Ah, my friends,exclaimed Michel Ardan,"can you imagine what this peaceful orb of night was once like?
12901Ah, why not?
12901And I,replied Barbicane,"I repeat-- who says they have not done it?"
12901And could you have made the calculation yourself?
12901And could you show me how they calculated the initial speed of our vehicle?
12901And how much will that cost at two cents a pound?
12901And how, pray?
12901And how, pray?
12901And if there are no Selenites?
12901And in the sun?
12901And shall we perceive it?
12901And suppose the earth were to fall upon the sun?
12901And the bullet? 12901 And the weight of a wire 86,000 leagues long,"answered Nicholl,"does that go for nothing?"
12901And we are not roasted by it?
12901And what about your Apaches and your Comanches-- are they civilised?
12901And what are those means?
12901And what do you conclude from that, talker eternal?
12901And what is the heat of the sun?
12901And what is the second reason?
12901And what truth is there in that hypothesis?
12901And where has the infernal bullet fallen?
12901And who can say,exclaimed Michel Ardan,"that the moon did not exist before the earth?"
12901And why should it not be so?
12901And you know the reason?
12901And you say that the like fate is reserved for the earth?
12901And you will not forget your rifle?
12901And you, Barbicane?
12901Are we falling?
12901Are we not ready?
12901As much as that?
12901At what number of degrees do they estimate the temperature of the planetary space?
12901Brass?
12901But I say,he continued,"what time is it?"
12901But air to breathe on the road?
12901But at least,he said,"you have some plan, some means of execution?"
12901But do you recognise him?
12901But how is that?
12901But how? 12901 But if the Selenites are six times smaller?"
12901But is this fact authenticated?
12901But provisions? 12901 But the heat developed by the speed of the projectile whilst crossing the beds of air?"
12901But we can make suppositions, I suppose?
12901But what are you going to do with those fowls?
12901But what do you want to do?
12901But what explanation of these trails of light have been imagined?
12901But what if we came too late?
12901But what is it, pray?
12901But what is the use of the good results of such studies and so many difficulties conquered? 12901 But when?"
12901But your fall upon the moon, supposing you ever get there?
12901But, my dear president,said the major,"is not aluminium quoted exceedingly high?"
12901But,asked Nicholl,"what is the exterior temperature?"
12901By cooling?
12901By what means?
12901Can nothing be done?
12901Can we not modify the motion of the projectile?
12901Clowns like Arnal, and photographers like-- Nadar?
12901Command it?
12901Could you use that tool before me?
12901Did not Herschel, in 1787, observe a great number of luminous points on the surface of the moon?
12901Did you hear the detonation, which must certainly have been formidable?
12901Do all astronomers admit the existence of this satellite?
12901Do you approve of my idea, Nicholl?
12901Do you intend giving a diameter of sixty feet to your projectile?
12901Do you know any who belong to the latter category?
12901Do you mean to say you understand that, captain?
12901Do you pretend to struggle with the impossible?
12901Do you understand now?
12901Do you want to find some vegetation?
12901Eh?
12901Excuse me, sir,said the midshipman,"but can not President Barbicane write?"
12901For example, when I have been running some time, and am covered with sweat, why am I forced to stop? 12901 Good,"replied Barbicane, smiling;"and what hand would be powerful enough to hurl the stone that would produce such a shock?"
12901Good; and does Nicholl understand what that means?
12901Has the moon been inhabited?
12901Has the time it will take our unfortunate globe to melt been calculated?
12901Has this place any name?
12901Have we not water- cushions placed between movable partitions elastic enough to protect us sufficiently?
12901Have you altered your plans for the projectile as the telegram demanded?
12901Have you ever seen the moon?
12901Have you heard any firing?
12901Have you not seen shooting stars by thousands in the sky at certain epochs?
12901Hollow!--then it will be an obus?
12901How are we to do that, pray?
12901How nowhere?
12901How shall we manage it?
12901How so?
12901How so?
12901How?
12901I ask you now,said he as he concluded,"if two good beings like you were made to break each other''s heads with gunshots?"
12901I do n''t ask that question because I want to draw back, but I repeat my question, and ask,''How shall we get back?''
12901I do n''t say we are not,answered Barbicane;"but why?"
12901I say,said he,"it is all very well to go to the moon, but how shall we get back again?"
12901I see Eve, but where is Adam?
12901I will try to do it, however, but I ask Nicholl if movement seems to him the necessary result of existence, under no matter what organisation?
12901If I succeed in lessening the density of the atmosphere which the moon''s light traverses, shall I not render that light more intense?
12901In order to be nearer the moon?
12901In what way do you mean?
12901Indeed?
12901Is it because the cone of shade thrown by the earth does not extend beyond the moon?
12901Is it believable? 12901 Is it clear?"
12901Is it long since?
12901Is it one of the corpuscles of space which our projectile holds in its radius of attraction, and which will accompany it as far as the moon?
12901Is it possible?
12901Is not infinitude large enough to allow a poor little bullet to go about without fear? 12901 Is there not an American name to put at the bottom of this discovery?"
12901Is there nothing in its place?
12901Just so,answered Nicholl;"but in what proportion do you reckon the diminution of speed by friction?"
12901Michel,replied Barbicane,"do you think it possible to forge without a hammer, or to plough without a ploughshare?"
12901Much noise?
12901Need we blush for that? 12901 Never mind; what is his opinion?"
12901Nor diminish its speed?
12901Not even by lightening it like they lighten an overloaded ship?
12901Not one shot?
12901Nothing will stop you?
12901Now do not be angry, worthy president,answered Michel,"but may not these black lines be regular rows of trees?"
12901Now,said Elphinstone,"what thickness must we give its sides?"
12901One question,said Elphinstone,"and will this_ canobusomortar_ be rifled?"
12901Only thirteen minutes?
12901Only what do you mean by crevices in the world of science?
12901Or are we tranquilly resting on the soil of Florida?
12901Or at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico?
12901Perhaps you mean the telegraph- office?
12901Philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant?
12901Poets like Homer, Virgil, Milton, Lamartine, and Hugo?
12901Really?
12901Really?
12901Seriously?
12901Shall we begin?
12901Shall we get there?
12901Since, what have we seen, after all? 12901 Snow?"
12901Some one?
12901Speak, ca n''t you?
12901Suppose I go too?
12901Suppose I had broken the mirror?
12901That is evident,answered one of the officers,"but what has become of the travellers?
12901That is evident,answered the major;"but what metal do you intend to employ for your own projectile?"
12901That mountain is--?
12901The moon?
12901The question, therefore, comes to this:''Are the planets inhabitable?'' 12901 The telegraph- office?"
12901The way to do what?
12901Then how is it to be done?
12901Then the cannon was pointed badly?
12901Then the earth has two moons like Neptune?
12901Then the vehicle pleases you?
12901Then what must be done?
12901Then why do you meddle with scientific questions which you have never studied?
12901Then,asked Michel Ardan,"humanity has quite disappeared from the moon?"
12901Then,asked Michel,"the moon is an older world than the earth?"
12901Then,asked Nicholl,"what would happen if the earth were to be suddenly stopped in her movement of translation?"
12901Then,resumed Michel Ardan,"would not this be an opportunity for making that experiment we could not attempt when we were bathed in the solar rays?"
12901Then,resumed Michel,"I repeat-- why have they not done it?"
12901Then,said Barbicane, without further preliminary,"you have decided to go?"
12901Then,said Michel in a grumbling tone,"why is there any eclipse when there ought to be none?"
12901Those fowls?
12901Through whom? 12901 Too late?"
12901True,replied Nicholl;"and who can say that the moon has always been the earth''s satellite?"
12901Upon your word of honour?
12901Very well, then, what do you mean to do?
12901Very well,answered Michel;"but once more; how did they calculate the initial velocity?"
12901Was that a cock?
12901Well, Barbicane,then said Michel,"should you like to know what I think about why we have deviated?"
12901Well, really, are we going on?
12901Well, what do you make it?
12901Well, what do you say to aluminium?
12901Well,cried he,"but where''s the earth?"
12901Well?
12901Well?
12901Well?
12901Well?
12901What Seminoles?
12901What are the usual rules in such a case? 12901 What are they?"
12901What are we looking at now?
12901What are you driving at?
12901What body?
12901What can a few yards more or less matter? 12901 What can have become of them?"
12901What can we throw out?
12901What depth are we in?
12901What do you make of that?
12901What do you mean by that, Nicholl?
12901What do you mean by that?
12901What do you mean by the void?
12901What do you mean, Barbicane?
12901What do you mean?
12901What do you mean?
12901What do you say?
12901What do you think about it, Barbicane?
12901What do you think that plain is like, seen from the height we are at?
12901What do you want?
12901What does it matter?
12901What does that matter? 12901 What does that matter?"
12901What does that matter?
12901What for?
12901What have you found?
12901What is it, then?
12901What is it?
12901What is its width?
12901What is that?
12901What is that?
12901What is that?
12901What is that?
12901What is the matter now?
12901What is the matter with you?
12901What is the matter?
12901What is the reason of this special arrangement?
12901What is to be done?
12901What next?
12901What of that?
12901What of that?
12901What shall we do?
12901What should it be if not a volcano?
12901What should you say, then,answered Barbicane,"if the chances of our journey should take us towards the southern hemisphere?"
12901What the matter is?
12901What will be the thickness of the metal?
12901What will become of us after we have reached the neutral point?
12901What will prevent me delaying my fall by means of rockets conveniently placed and lighted at the proper time?
12901What will the projectile weigh, then?
12901What would be the use?
12901What''s the matter with you?
12901What?
12901What?
12901What?
12901What?
12901What?
12901Whatever can that machine be?
12901Whatever is that? 12901 When a projectile is hurled into space,"resumed Barbicane,"what happens?
12901When?
12901When?
12901Where are they? 12901 Where are they?"
12901Which means?
12901Who are you?
12901Who is it?
12901Who is that, pray?
12901Who knows?
12901Who says there are no Selenites?
12901Who says they have not done it?
12901Who''ll buy real mint- julep in the latest style?
12901Why do you not answer?
12901Why is there no total eclipse?
12901Why not? 12901 Why not?"
12901Why not?
12901Why not?
12901Why should they not be the cracks caused by the shock of a bullet or a stone upon a pane of glass?
12901Why should they?
12901Why should we not arrive? 12901 Why should we not succeed?"
12901Why so, if the weight on the surface of the moon is six times less than upon the surface of the earth?
12901Why so?
12901Why so?
12901Why this qualification?
12901Why, do n''t they use his skin to make drums of?
12901Why, pray?
12901Why, there might be something to do over there, and if they accepted our services--"What are you thinking of?
12901Why,said Nicholl,"may not these rays be simply the spurs of the mountains reflecting the light of the sun more vividly?"
12901Why,said he,"may not these inexplicable appearances be simply phenomena of vegetation?"
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Why?
12901Will not our Columbiad be still there? 12901 Will not our muscular strength be diminished?"
12901Will that be necessary?
12901Will that be sufficient?
12901Will you enter it to- morrow morning at five o''clock by one side?
12901Will you have a receipt?
12901With your hand?
12901Would you like figures?
12901Yes; and the Rodman Columbiad?
12901You are Barbicane?
12901You are certain of your figures?
12901You are not going to take upon yourself the task of making the moon more luminous?
12901You do not think of raising such a mass upon a gun- carriage?
12901You wish to add a few words?
12901_ Savants_ like Archimedes, Euclid, Pascal, and Newton?
129011,''Is it possible to send a projectile to the moon?''
129012,''What is the exact distance that separates the earth from her satellite?''
129014,''At what moment would the moon present the most favourable position for being reached by the projectile?''
129015,''At what point in the heavens ought the cannon destined to hurl the projectile be aimed?''
129016,''What place will the moon occupy In the heavens at the moment of the projectile''s departure?''
12901A journey of 86,410 leagues, but what is that?
12901After what they had seen, could the travellers solve it?
12901And an hyperbola?"
12901And if the man did exist was he not a madman who would have to be inclosed in a strait- waistcoat instead of in a cannon- ball?
12901And is that the future that awaits us?"
12901And now would this attempt, without precedent in the annals of travels, have any practical result?
12901And was not the imaginative Michel right in thus interpreting the fancies of the old astronomers?
12901And what is your parabola, if you please?"
12901And what were his first words?
12901And who says so, pray?"
12901And yet who would affirm, who would dare to say, that the amiable fellow had not really seen what his two companions would not see?
12901And yet, supposing the atmosphere to have taken refuge upon that face?
12901And, may it please you, lieutenant, where are we now?"
12901Another projectile?"
12901Are those plains composed of dry sand, as the first astronomers believed?
12901At 100 yards?
12901At what moment would the moon present the most favourable position for being reached by the projectile?
12901Barbicane, the president-- my best friend?"
12901Besides, I shall astonish you--""Astonish us?"
12901Besides, what could be easier?
12901But did these adventurers of space complain?
12901But even supposing that their bold enterprise were crowned with success, how would they return?
12901But had that distance increased or diminished since they had been in the cone of shadow?
12901But now I think--""What do you think?"
12901But what becomes of the movement which animated it?
12901But what was that speed compared to the one with which the three heroes had left the Columbiad?
12901But what was the use of vain theories that could not be put in practice?
12901But what would you say if I were going to Neptune, which gravitates at 1,147,000,000 leagues from the sun?
12901But whence came the animation that grew visibly greater in the inhabitants of the projectile?
12901But where will they take us to?"
12901But who would have expected to find such a depth so near land, at 100 leagues only from the American coast?"
12901But, first of all, did this personage really exist?
12901But, now I think of it, why ca n''t we take a walk outside this?
12901But,"asked Barbicane, insisting once more,"you have quite reflected?"
12901By the force of impulsion?"
12901By what means?"
12901By- the- bye, Barbicane, have the Selenites any eclipses?"
12901By- the- bye, what is the integral calculus?"
12901Clouds, rain, tempests, humours, does the life of man contain aught but these?
12901Could they conclude for or against?
12901Could they ever return?
12901Could they give a scientific affirmation to that observation so superficially obtained?
12901Could they have closed their eyes so near to a new world?
12901Dared they pronounce upon the question of its habitability after so slight a glimpse of the invisible disc?
12901Did Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel Ardan still breathe?
12901Did I not bring you back to life?
12901Did he not get talked of ceaselessly by the hundred voices of Fame, hoarse in his service?
12901Did he not live in a glass house, taking the entire universe as confidant of his most intimate secrets?
12901Did she resemble the earth in the time when the atmosphere did not yet exist?
12901Did some body maintain it in the ether?
12901Did the adversary of Michel Ardan''s theories hazard any further arguments?
12901Do you believe in the influence of the moon upon maladies?"
12901Do you know an Indian play called_ The Child''s Chariot_?"
12901Do you know how long it would take an express train to reach the moon?
12901Do you know it?"
12901Do you know what I think of this universe that begins with the sun and ends at Neptune?
12901Do you like that comparison better?"
12901Do you say to yourself that this prison may be our coffin?
12901Do you understand?"
12901Does not the president''s shoulder still bleed from the blow?"
12901Had its route again been modified by the meteor?
12901Had she a Frenchman named Michel Ardan on board?"
12901Had the ingenuity of the constructors of the projectile been attended by a happy result?
12901Had the operation of casting succeeded?
12901Had they been able to attempt some audacious manoeuvre to recover their liberty?
12901Had they triumphed over the frightful impulsion of the initial velocity of 11,000 metres a second?
12901Has it been inhabited?"
12901Have we not been half stunned by the shock?
12901Have you altered your projectile as I told you in my message?"
12901He contented himself with saying simply--"Now, my friends, what quantity of powder do you propose?"
12901He opened his eyes, sat up, took the hands of his two friends, and his first words were--"Nicholl, are we going on?"
12901Her absence made Ardan say--"And the moon?
12901How are you?
12901How could he invent anything better than a Columbiad 900 feet long?
12901How shall we do it?
12901How was it that though the projectile had been so near the moon, within a distance of twenty- five miles, it had not fallen upon her?
12901How were they to know, how calculate in the dark?
12901How?
12901I make appeal to this assembly and put it to the vote to know if life such as it exists upon earth is possible on the surface of the moon?"
12901I therefore ask the honourable Commission if the moon is not habitable, has it been inhabited?"
12901If an aëronaut were taken up that distance from the earth, what would he distinguish upon its surface?
12901If he should perceive the projectile upon the mirror of his gigantic telescope what would he think?
12901In another eighteen years will she not occupy exactly the same place that she occupies to- day?"
12901In either of these alternatives what would be the travellers''fate?
12901Is cotton and nitric acid wanting wherewith to manufacture the projectile?
12901Is it likely?
12901Is it possible to send a projectile to the moon?
12901Is it possible?"
12901Is not that your opinion, major?"
12901Is not the Columbiad still lying in Floridian soil?
12901Is she going to fail us?"
12901Is that clear?"
12901Is the moon habitable?
12901Look here, without looking any farther for a motive for war, did not North America formerly belong to the English?"
12901Maston ran to him crying--"Have you seen a man enter the wood armed with a rifle?
12901Maston sent that unexpected announcement into the world?
12901Maston, for instance-- had been able to get a glimpse of the interior of the projectile, what would he have seen?
12901Maston,"shall we not employ these last years of our existence in perfecting firearms?
12901Maston,"why should not England in its turn belong to the Americans?"
12901Maston;"then our projectile will have a diameter of nine feet?"
12901Now I suppose it is the moon you want to reach?"
12901Now how can the emotion be described which took possession of the whole of America?
12901Now if a ship can go where it pleases, or a balloon ascend where it pleases, why should not our projectile reach the goal it was aimed at?"
12901Now were the green shades owing to tropical vegetation, kept up by a low and dense atmosphere?
12901Now what happens in the act of respiration?
12901Now, Barbicane, do you believe that the moon is an ancient comet?"
12901Now, how do we know that this attraction was powerful enough to influence the movements of the moon at the epoch the earth was still fluid?"
12901Or are they only immense forests, according to the opinion of Mr. Waren de la Rue, who grants a very low but very dense atmosphere to the moon?
12901Ought a Frenchman and two Americans to recoil at such a word?"
12901Populations, flocks of lunar animals, towns, lakes, and oceans?
12901Shall it be a cannon, howitzer, or a mortar?"
12901Should they not see the intense fulgurations of a burning mountain?
12901Should you like to know my theory?
12901Suppose that animals people these continents and seas?
12901Suppose that man still lives under those conditions of habitability?
12901Suppose that vegetation still persists there?
12901Suppose that with the air water had given life to these regenerated continents?
12901Suppose we had reached our goal, would it not have been better to find the continents in full daylight instead of dark night?
12901The size of the projectile and length of the cannon being given, what would be the quantity of powder necessary to produce the impulsion?
12901Then he had nothing more to fear from his adversary?"
12901Then the atmosphere did give there its life- giving particles?
12901Then turning the conversation--"Barbicane, do you know what I have been thinking about all night?"
12901Then, exhausted by deceptions, treasons, infidelities, and all the procession of terrestrial miseries, what does he find at the end of his career?
12901They could procure themselves air for two months; they had provisions for one year; but after?
