Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
92
The
frog-men
chased
inward
spread
out
in
all
directions
over
their
mighty,
swarming
city
and
across
it
a
terrific
clamor
of
alarm
ran
instantly
as
the
green
men
emerged
after
them!
Norman
saw
flying-boats
beginning
to
rise
across
all
the
city
and
realized
that
moments
would
see
all
the
immense
force
of
the
Ralas,
the
thousands
of
craft
they
could
muster,
pouring
upon
them.
He
pointed
out
over
the
city
to
a
block-like
building,
and
shouted
madly
through
his
helmet
to
Fellows
and
Sarja:
"Hackett!"
But
already
Sarja
had
sent
their
craft
whirling
across
the
city
toward
the
structure,
half
their
fleet
behind
it,
with
part
still
emerging
from
the
water-tunnel.
Rala
boats
rose
before
them,
but
nothing
could
stop
them
now,
their
force-shells
raining
ahead
to
clear
a
path
for
their
meteor-flight.
They
shot
down
toward
the
block-structure,
and
Norman,
half-crazed
by
now,
saw
that
to
descend
and
enter
was
suicide
in
the
face
of
the
frog-forces
rising
now
over
all
the
city.
He
cried
to
Fellows,
and
with
two
of
the
guns
as
they
swooped
lower
they
sprayed
force-shells
along
the
building's
side.
The
shells
struck
and
whiffed
away
the
whole
side,
exposing
the
level
on
the
building's
interior.
Out
from
it
rushed
swarms
of
crazed
green
men,
sweeping
aside
the
frog-men
guards,
while
far
over
the
city
the
invading
craft
were
loosing
shells
on
the
block-like
buildings
that
held
the
prisoners,
tens
of
thousands
of
them
swarming
forth.
In
the
throng
below
as
they
raced
madly
forth
Norman
saw
one,
and
shouted
wildly.
The
one
brown
garbed
figure
looked
up,
saw
their
boat
swooping
lower,
and
leaped
for
it
in
a
tremendous
forty-foot
spring
that
brought
his
fingers
to
its
edge.
Norman
pulled
him
frenziedly
up.
