Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
193
The
car
had
come
to
a
stop
in
what
seemed
to
be
a
huge
warehouse,
and
by
the
sound
of
water
round
about,
it
was
either
near
or
entirely
built
out
over
the
harbor.
A
large
section
near
the
outer
end
was
walled
off.
Boxes,
bales,
parcels
and
packages
of
every
sort
were
heaped
all
about.
Bell
saw
crated
air
engines
lying
in
a
row
against
one
wall.
There
were
a
dozen
or
more
of
them.
Machinery,
huge
cases
of
foodstuffs....
"The
Buenos
Aires
depot,"
said
Ortiz
almost
gaily.
"This
was
the
point
of
receipt
for
all
the
manufactured
goods
which
went
to
the
fazenda
of
Cuyaba,
Senor
Bell.
Since
you
destroyed
that
place,
it
has
not
been
so
much
used.
However,
it
will
serve
excellently
as
a
tomb.
There
are
cases
of
hand
grenades
yonder.
I
advise
you
to
carry
a
certain
number
with
you.
The
machine
guns
for
the
air-craft,
with
their
ammunition,
are
here...."
He
was
hurrying
them
toward
the
great
walled-off
space
as
he
talked,
his
automatic
serving
as
a
pointer
when
he
indicated
the
various
objects.
"Now,
here,"
he
added
as
he
unlocked
the
door,
"is
your
vessel.
The
Master
bought
only
amphibian
planes
of
late.
Those
for
Cuyaba
were
assembled
in
this
little
dock
and
took
off
from
the
water.
Your
destruction
up
there,
Senor
Bell,
left
one
quite
complete
but
undelivered.
I
think
another,
crated,
is
still
in
the
warehouse.
I
have
been
very
busy,
but
if
you
can
fuel
and
load
it
before
we
are
attacked...."
