Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

"You
almost
have,
at
that.
Two
days
and
nights
you've
slept,
but
it
all
adds
up
to
hardly
more
than
a
dozen
hours."
"This
world!"
Norman's
voice
held
all
his
incredulity.
"To
think
that
we
should
be
on
it--a
second
satellite
of
Earth's--it
seems
almost
beyond
belief."
"Sometimes
it
seems
so
to
me,
too,"
Fellows
said
thoughtfully.
"But
it's
not
a
bad
world--not
the
human
part
of
it,
at
least.
When
this
satellite's
atmosphere
caught
me
and
pitchforked
me
down
among
these
green
men,
smashing
the
plane
and
almost
myself,
they
took
care
of
me.
You
say
three
others
vanished
as
I
did?
I
never
heard
of
them
here;
they
must
have
crashed
into
the
sea
or
jungles.
Of
course,
I'd
have
got
back
to
Earth
on
one
of
these
flying-boats
if
I'd
been
able,
but
their
molecular
power
won't
take
them
far
from
this
world's
surface,
so
I
couldn't.
"As
it
was,
the
green
men
cared
for
me,
and
when
I
found
how
those
frog-men
have
dominated
this
world
for
ages,
how
that
city
of
the
Ralas
has
spread
endless
terror
among
the
humans
here,
I
resolved
to
smash
those
monsters
whatever
I
did.
I
taught
some
of
the
green
men
like
Sarja
my
own
speech,
later
learning
theirs,
and
in
the
weeks
I've
been
here
I've
been
working
out
a
way
to
smash
the
Ralas.
"You
know
that
amphibian
city
is
almost
impregnable
because
humans
can
hardly
live
long
enough
under
the
water
to
get
into
it,
let
alone
fight
under
water
as
the
frog-men
can.
To
meet
them
on
even
terms
the
green
men
needed
diving-helmets
with
an
oxygen
supply.
They'd
never
heard
of
such
an
idea,
too
afraid
of
the
sea
ever
to
experiment
in
it,
but
I
convinced
them
and
they've
made
enough
helmets
for
all
their
forces.
In
them
they
can
meet
the
Ralas
under
water
on
equal
terms.
