Voyage to the Moon Bolus (continued . . .)




Janno and his comrades felt the death blow of the countless red hot particles, and were hurled headlong ! Aaaaaaaagh ! Out of control, the doomed craft toppled over and over . . . falling . . . falling . . . in the grip of Bolus's gravity ! In the turmoil of the control compartment, Thulla's voice was raised in a frenzied scream ! Thulla's order was obeyed . . . moments later, the craft's headlong fall was checked . . . and it swayed slowly down towards the surface of the moon. It descended slowly . . . yet with enough force to smash itself to ruin against a towering cliff wall ! Later . . . the survivors crawled out of the wreckage and looked about them in awe at the inhospitable landscape. We've done it ! . . . we've reached Bolus . . . and now we can never return ! The old scientist pointed . . . to their mother planet.
