Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

He
went
on
then
to
outline
to
the
other
two
the
idea
that
had
come
to
him.
Both
exclaimed
at
the
simpleness
of
the
idea,
though
Sarja
remained
somewhat
doubtful.
While
Hackett
slept,
weak
still
from
his
loss
of
blood,
Norman
had
the
green
man
scratch
on
the
metal
floor
as
well
as
possible
a
crude
map
of
the
satellite's
surface,
and
found
that
the
city,
where
Fellows
was,
seemed
some
hundreds
of
miles
back
from
the
sea.
While
they
talked,
the
sunlight,
apparently
sourceless,
that
came
through
the
heavily
barred
windows
of
the
room
faded
rapidly,
and
dusk
settled
over
the
great
amphibian
city
beneath
the
giant
dome,
kept
from
total
darkness
by
a
silvery
pervading
light
that
Norman
reflected
must
be
the
light
from
Earth's
great
sphere.
With
the
dusk's
coming
the
activities
in
the
frog-city
lessened
greatly.
With
dusk,
too,
frog-guards
entered
the
room
bearing
long
metal
troughs
filled
with
a
red
jellylike
substance,
that
they
placed
on
racks
along
the
wall.
As
the
guards
withdrew
the
men
in
the
room
rushed
toward
the
troughs,
elbowing
each
other
aside
and
striking
each
other
to
scoop
up
and
eat
as
much
of
the
red
jelly
as
possible.
It
was
for
all
the
world
like
the
feeding
of
farm-animals,
and
Hackett
and
Norman
so
sickened
at
the
sight
that
they
had
no
heart
to
try
the
food.
Sarja,
though,
had
no
such
scruples
and
seemed
to
make
a
hearty
meal
at
one
of
the
troughs.
After
the
meal
the
green
men
sought
the
bunks
and
soon
were
stretched
in
sonorous
slumber.
It
was,
Norman
reflected,
exactly
the
existence
of
domesticated
animals--to
eat
and
sleep
and
give
food
to
their
masters.
A
deeper
horror
of
the
frog-men
shook
him,
and
a
deeper
determination
to
escape
them.
He
waited
until
all
in
the
room
were
sleeping
before
beckoning
to
Sarja
and
Hackett.
