Captain
Black
stood
by
the
port
.
"
Look
out
there
.
The
geraniums
.
A
specialized
plant
.
That
specific
variety
has
only
been
known
on
Earth
for
fifty
years
.
Think
of
the
thousands
of
years
it
takes
to
evolve
plants
.
Then
tell
me
if
it
is
logical
that
the
Martians
should
have
:
one
,
leaded
-
glass
windows
;
two
,
cupolas
;
three
,
porch
swings
;
four
,
an
instrument
that
looks
like
a
piano
and
probably
is
a
piano
;
and
five
,
if
you
look
closely
through
this
telescopic
lens
here
,
is
it
logical
that
a
Martian
composer
would
have
published
a
piece
of
music
titled
,
strangely
enough
,
«
Beautiful
Ohio
»
?
All
of
which
means
that
we
have
an
Ohio
River
on
Mars
!
"
542
"
Captain
Williams
,
of
course
!
"
cried
Hinkston
,
543
"
What
?

544
"
Captain
Williams
and
his
crew
of
three
men
!
Or
Nathaniel
York
and
his
partner
.
That
would
explain
it
!
"
545
"
That
would
explain
absolutely
nothing
.
As
far
as
we
ve
been
able
to
figure
,
the
York
expedition
exploded
the
day
it
reached
Mars
,
killing
York
and
his
partner
.
As
for
Williams
and
his
three
men
,
their
ship
exploded
the
second
day
after
their
arrival
.
At
least
the
pulsations
from
their
radios
ceased
at
that
time
,
so
we
figure
that
if
the
men
were
alive
after
that
they
d
have
contacted
us
.
And
anyway
,
the
York
expedition
was
only
a
year
ago
,
while
Captain
Williams
and
his
men
landed
here
some
time
during
last
August
.
546
Theorizing
that
they
are
still
alive
,
could
they
,
even
with
the
help
of
a
brilliant
Martian
race
,
have
built
such
a
town
as
this
and
aged
it
in
so
short
a
time
?
Look
at
that
town
out
there
;
why
,
it
s
been
standing
here
for
the
last
seventy
years
.
Look
at
the
wood
on
the
porch
newel
;
look
at
the
trees
,
a
century
old
,
all
of
them
!
No
,
this
isn
t
York
s
work
or
Williams
.
It
s
something
else
.
I
don
t
like
it
.
And
I
m
not
leaving
the
ship
until
I
know
what
it
is
.
"
547
"
For
that
matter
,
"
said
Lustig
,
nodding
,
"
Williams
and
his
men
,
as
well
as
York
,
landed
on
the
opposite
side
of
Mars
.
We
were
very
careful
to
land
on
this
side
.

"
An
excellent
point
.
Just
in
case
a
hostile
local
tribe
of
Martians
killed
off
York
and
Williams
,
we
have
instructions
to
land
in
a
further
region
,
to
forestall
a
recurrence
of
such
a
disaster
.
So
here
we
are
,
as
far
as
we
know
,
in
a
land
that
Williams
and
York
never
saw
.
"
549
"
Damn
it
,
"
said
Hinkston
,
"
I
want
to
get
out
into
this
town
,
sir
,
with
your
permission
.
It
may
be
there
are
similar
thought
patterns
,
civilization
graphs
on
every
planet
in
our
sun
system
.
We
may
be
on
the
threshold
of
the
greatest
psychological
and
metaphysical
discovery
of
our
age
!
"
550
"
I
m
willing
to
wait
a
moment
,
"
said
Captain
John
Black
.
