Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
227
The
dock
was
covered
with
a
swarm
of
panic
stricken
folk.
Everywhere,
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
city
who
were
slaves
to
The
Master
had
come
in
awful
terror
to
watch.
And
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
city
were
slaves
to
The
Master.
Some
of
them
fell
to
their
knees
and
held
out
imploring
arms
to
Bell,
begging
him
for
mercy
and
the
return
of
The
Master.
Some
cursed
wildly.
But,
with
his
jaws
set
grimly,
Bell
gave
the
motors
the
gun.
The
big
plane
moved
heavily,
then
more
swiftly
through
the
water.
It
lifted
slowly,
and
rose,
and
rose,
and
dwindled
to
a
speck
high
in
the
air.
And
all
through
the
streets
and
ways
of
Punta
Arenas,
fear
stalked
almost
as
a
tangible
thing.
Panic
hovered
over
the
housetops,
always
ready
to
descend.
Terror
was
in
the
air
that
every
man
breathed,
and
every
human
being
looked
at
every
other
human
being
with
staring,
haunted
eyes.
Punta
Arenas
was
waiting
for
its
murder
madness
to
begin.
