Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
94
Beneath
them
was
only
a
titanic
whirlpool
of
foaming
waters
in
which
only
the
curved
top
of
the
settling
dome
was
visible
for
a
moment
as
it
sank
slowly
and
ponderously
downward,
with
a
roar
as
of
the
roar
of
falling
worlds.
Buckling,
collapsing,
sinking,
it
vanished
in
the
foam-wild
sea
with
all
the
frog-men
who
for
ages
had
ruled
the
second
satellite,
and
with
all
those
prisoners
who
had
at
the
last
dragged
them
down
with
them
to
death!
Ripping
off
their
helmets,
with
all
the
green
men
shouting
crazily
about
them,
Norman
and
Fellows
and
Hackett
stared
down
at
the
colossal
maelstrom
in
the
waters
that
was
the
tomb
of
the
masters
of
a
world.
Then
the
depression's
sides
collapsed,
the
waters
rushing
together
...
and
beneath
them
was
but
troubled,
tossing
sea....
Earth's
great
gray
ball
was
overhead
again
and
the
sun
was
sinking
again
to
the
horizon
when
the
three
soared
upward
in
the
long,
gleaming
plane,
its
motor
roaring.
Norman,
with
Hackett
and
Fellows
crowding
the
narrow
cabin
beside
him,
waved
with
them
through
its
windows.
For
all
around
them
were
rising
the
flying-boats
of
the
green
men.
They
were
waving
wildly,
shouting
their
farewells,
Sarja's
tall
figure
erect
at
the
prow
of
one.
Insistent
they
had
been
that
the
three
should
stay,
the
three
through
whom
the
monstrous
age-old
tyranny
of
the
frog-men
had
been
lifted,
but
Earth-sickness
was
on
them,
and
they
had
flown
to
where
the
plane
lay
still
unharmed
among
the
reeds,
a
hundred
willing
hands
dragging
it
forth
for
the
take-off.
