Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
84
When
the
sun
climbed
from
the
waters
behind
them
they
were
flying
still
over
a
boundless
waste
of
waters,
but
soon
they
sighted
on
the
horizon
ahead
the
thin
green
line
of
land.
Sarja
slowed
as
they
reached
it,
took
his
bearings,
and
sent
the
craft
flying
onward.
They
passed
over
a
green
coastal
plain
and
then
over
low
hills
joined
in
long
chains
and
mantled
by
dense
and
mighty
jungles,
towering
green
growths
of
unfamiliar
appearance
to
Norman.
He
thought
he
glimpsed,
more
than
once,
huge
beastlike
forms
moving
in
them.
He
did
see
twice
in
the
jungles
great
clearings
where
were
fair-sized
cities
of
bright-green
buildings,
a
metal
tower
rising
from
each.
But
when
he
pointed
to
them
Sarja
shook
his
head.
At
last,
as
they
passed
over
another
range
of
hills
and
came
into
sight
of
a
third
green
city
with
its
looming
tower,
the
other
pointed,
his
face
alight.
"My
city,"
he
said.
"Fallas
there."
Fellows!
Norman's
heart
beat
faster.
They
shot
closer
and
lower
and
he
saw
that
the
buildings
were
obviously
green
to
lend
them
a
certain
protective
coloration
similar
to
that
of
the
green
jungles
around
them.
The
tower
with
its
surmounting
cage
puzzled
him
though,
but
before
he
could
ask
Sarja
concerning
it
his
answer
came
in
a
different
way.
A
long
metal
tube
poked
slowly
out
of
the
cage
on
the
tower's
top
and
sent
a
hail
of
force-shells
flicking
around
them.
"They're
firing
on
us!"
Norman
cried.
"This
can't
be
your
city!"
