The Fiendish Experiment (continued . . .)

















	

















	

















	

















	

















	
















	
	From the split hull of the stricken fighter-
	craft there emerged a thin trickle of water.

	
	Then the water . . .

	
	Became . . .

	
	Vella !

	
	
	
	
	In addition to all the
	other advantages, I
	now find that I
	am indestructible !

	
	Janno had landed his own craft, and was among
	the first to arrive on the scene of the crash.

	
	
	I killed him—my own comrade
	—with my idiotic carelessness !
	I’ll never forgive myself—never !

	
	Then . . .

	
	
	
	
	Vella !
	But—you’re
	alive ?

	
	
	
	
	As you see,
	Janno.

	
	
	
	
	But how could he have
	got out ? The cockpit
	cover’s still
	jammed on !

	
	
	
	
	There’s not a mark on you,
	Vella ! It’s a miracle, that’s
	what it is—a miracle !
