Almost
immediately
we
must
have
come
upon
the
Selenites
.
There
were
six
of
them
,
and
they
were
marching
in
single
file
over
a
rocky
place
,
making
the
most
remarkable
piping
and
whining
sounds
.
They
all
seemed
to
become
aware
of
us
at
once
,
all
instantly
became
silent
and
motionless
,
like
animals
,
with
their
faces
turned
towards
us
.
For
a
moment
I
was
sobered
.
"
Insects
,
"
murmured
Cavor
,
"
insects
!
And
they
think
I
'm
going
to
crawl
about
on
my
stomach
--
on
my
vertebrated
stomach
!
"
Stomach
,
"
he
repeated
slowly
,
as
though
he
chewed
the
indignity
.
Then
suddenly
,
with
a
sort
of
fury
,
he
made
three
vast
strides
and
leapt
towards
them
.
He
leapt
badly
;
he
made
a
series
of
somersaults
in
the
air
,
whirled
right
over
them
,
and
vanished
with
an
enormous
splash
amidst
the
cactus
bladders
.
What
the
Selenites
made
of
this
amazing
,
and
to
my
mind
undignified
irruption
from
another
planet
,
I
have
no
means
of
guessing
.
I
seem
to
remember
the
sight
of
their
backs
as
they
ran
in
all
directions
,
but
I
am
not
sure
.
All
these
last
incidents
before
oblivion
came
are
vague
and
faint
in
my
mind
.
I
know
I
made
a
step
to
follow
Cavor
,
and
tripped
and
fell
headlong
among
the
rocks
.
I
was
,
I
am
certain
,
suddenly
and
vehemently
ill
I
seem
to
remember
a
violent
struggle
and
being
gripped
by
metallic
clasps
...
My
next
clear
recollection
is
that
we
were
prisoners
at
we
knew
not
what
depths
beneath
the
moon
's
surface
;
we
were
in
darkness
amidst
strange
distracting
noises
;
our
bodies
were
covered
with
scratches
and
bruises
,
and
our
heads
racked
with
pain
.
I
found
myself
sitting
crouched
together
in
a
tumultuous
darkness
.
For
a
long
time
I
could
not
understand
where
I
was
,
nor
how
I
had
come
to
this
perplexity
.
I
thought
of
the
cupboard
into
which
I
had
been
thrust
at
times
when
I
was
a
child
,
and
then
of
a
very
dark
and
noisy
bedroom
in
which
I
had
slept
during
an
illness
.
But
these
sounds
about
me
were
not
the
noises
I
had
known
,
and
there
was
a
thin
flavour
in
the
air
like
the
wind
of
a
stable
.
Then
I
supposed
we
must
still
be
at
work
upon
the
sphere
,
and
that
somehow
I
had
got
into
the
cellar
of
Cavor
's
house
.
I
remembered
we
had
finished
the
sphere
,
and
fancied
I
must
still
be
in
it
and
travelling
through
space
.
"
Cavor
,
"
I
said
,
"
can
not
we
have
some
light
?
"
There
came
no
answer
.
