Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
95
The
plane
soared
higher,
motor
thundering,
and
they
saw
the
flying-boats
sinking
back
from
around
them.
They
caught
the
wave
of
Sarja's
hand
still
from
the
highest,
and
then
that,
too,
was
gone.
Upward
they
flew
toward
the
great
gray
sphere,
their
eyes
on
the
dark
outlines
of
its
continents
and
on
one
continent.
Higher--higher--green
land
and
gray
tea
receding
beneath
them;
Hackett
and
Fellows
intent
and
eager
as
Norman
kept
the
plane
rising.
The
satellite
lay,
a
greenish
globe,
under
them.
And
as
they
went
higher
still
a
rushing
sound
came
louder
to
their
ears.
"The
edge
of
the
satellite's
atmosphere?"
Fellows
asked,
as
Norman
nodded.
"We're
almost
to
it--here
we
go!"
As
he
shot
the
plane
higher,
great
forces
smote
it,
gray
Earth
and
green
satellite
and
yellow
sun
gyrating
round
it
as
it
reeled
and
plunged.
Then
suddenly
it
was
falling
steadily,
gray
Earth
and
its
dark
continent
now
beneath,
while
with
a
dwindling
rushing
roar
its
second
satellite
whirled
away
above
them,
passing
and
vanishing.
Passing
as
though,
to
Norman
it
seemed,
all
their
strange
sojourn
on
it
were
passing;
the
frog-men
and
their
mighty
city,
Sarja
and
their
mad
flight,
the
green
men
and
the
last
terrific
battle;
all
whirling
away--whirling
away.
