- 24:18Speaker 3: The air was thin and shot. The mountains threw long
- 24:22Speaker 3: blue shadows over the stunted stage and dump. I lay
- 24:27Speaker 3: hidden behind a patch of scrut with Glen.
- 24:30Speaker 5: Besides, this was part of the gas.
- 24:37Speaker 3: It was the first time Glen's back on Earth, and
- 24:39Speaker 3: we were married, and he was quite excited. So was I,
- 24:43Speaker 3: but for a different reasons. Just as the sun touched
- 24:47Speaker 3: the high mountains and the cross that lay over the
- 24:50Speaker 3: valley began to sparker. Just then Sedgwick's rocket drifted in
- 24:54Speaker 3: like a pale moon. He was using his remaining rocket
- 24:58Speaker 3: fuel to break his speed.
- 25:00Speaker 13: They made a pot of grounding on his tail.

- 25:39Speaker 3: them without being noticed. Murchison had gone into the rocket says.
- 25:43Speaker 3: We lay stretched out on the ground, and I had
- 25:46Speaker 3: a bit of fast action in mind if I could
