I
started
at
a
gentle
touch
,
and
found
a
thin
sheet
of
livid
lichen
lapping
over
my
shoe
.
I
kicked
at
it
and
it
fell
to
powder
,
and
each
speck
began
to
grow
.
I
heard
Cavor
exclaim
sharply
,
and
perceived
that
one
of
the
fixed
bayonets
of
the
scrub
had
pricked
him
.
He
hesitated
,
his
eyes
sought
among
the
rocks
about
us
.
A
sudden
blaze
of
pink
had
crept
up
a
ragged
pillar
of
crag
.
It
was
a
most
extraordinary
pink
,
a
livid
magenta
.
"
Look
!
"
said
I
,
turning
,
and
behold
Cavor
had
vanished
.
For
an
instant
I
stood
transfixed
.
Then
I
made
a
hasty
step
to
look
over
the
verge
of
the
rock
.
But
in
my
surprise
at
his
disappearance
I
forgot
once
more
that
we
were
on
the
moon
.
The
thrust
of
my
foot
that
I
made
in
striding
would
have
carried
me
a
yard
on
earth
;
on
the
moon
it
carried
me
six
--
a
good
five
yards
over
the
edge
.
For
the
moment
the
thing
had
something
of
the
effect
of
those
nightmares
when
one
falls
and
falls
.
For
while
one
falls
sixteen
feet
in
the
first
second
of
a
fall
on
earth
,
on
the
moon
one
falls
two
,
and
with
only
a
sixth
of
one
's
weight
.
I
fell
,
or
rather
I
jumped
down
,
about
ten
yards
I
suppose
.
It
seemed
to
take
quite
a
long
time
,
five
or
six
seconds
,
I
should
think
.
I
floated
through
the
air
and
fell
like
a
feather
,
knee-deep
in
a
snow-drift
in
the
bottom
of
a
gully
of
blue-grey
,
white-veined
rock
.
I
looked
about
me
.
"
Cavor
!
"
I
cried
;
but
no
Cavor
was
visible
.
"
Cavor
!
"
I
cried
louder
,
and
the
rocks
echoed
me
.
I
turned
fiercely
to
the
rocks
and
clambered
to
the
summit
of
them
.
"
Cavor
!
"
I
cried
.
My
voice
sounded
like
the
voice
of
a
lost
lamb
.
The
sphere
,
too
,
was
not
in
sight
,
and
for
a
moment
a
horrible
feeling
of
desolation
pinched
my
heart
.
Then
I
saw
him
.
He
was
laughing
and
gesticulating
to
attract
my
attention
.
He
was
on
a
bare
patch
of
rock
twenty
or
thirty
yards
away
.
I
could
not
hear
his
voice
,
but
"
jump
"
said
his
gestures
.
I
hesitated
,
the
distance
seemed
enormous
.
Yet
I
reflected
that
surely
I
must
be
able
to
clear
a
greater
distance
than
Cavor
.
