Lieutenant
Agnew
was
our
junior
medical
officer
.
Quite
brilliant
in
his
line
,
Sven
tells
me
,
and
I
had
no
complaints
about
him
otherwise
;
he
was
well
-
enough
liked
.
But
he
had
an
unsuspected
latent
xenophobia
.
Not
against
humans
.
But
he
couldn
’
t
stand
Martians
.
Now
I
had
given
orders
against
going
armed
outside
the
ship
once
it
appeared
that
the
Martians
were
peaceful
–
too
much
chance
of
an
incident
.
"
Apparently
young
Agnew
disobeyed
me
–
at
least
we
were
never
able
to
find
his
personal
side
arm
later
and
the
two
men
who
last
saw
him
alive
say
that
he
was
wearing
it
.
But
all
my
log
shows
is
:
‘
Missing
and
presumed
dead
.
’
"
Here
is
why
.
Two
crewmen
saw
Agnew
go
into
a
sort
of
passage
between
two
large
rocks
rather
scarce
on
Mars
;
mostly
it
’
s
monotonous
.
Then
they
saw
a
Martian
enter
the
same
way
?
whereupon
they
hurried
,
as
Dr
.
Agnew
’
s
peculiarity
was
well
known
.
"
Both
say
that
they
heard
a
shot
.
One
says
that
he
reached
this
opening
in
time
to
glimpse
Agnew
past
the
Martian
,
who
pretty
well
filled
the
space
between
the
rocks
;
they
’
re
so
big
.
And
then
he
didn
’
t
see
him
.
The
second
man
says
that
when
he
got
there
the
Martian
was
just
exiting
,
simply
sailed
on
past
them
and
went
his
way
–
which
is
characteristically
Martian
;
if
he
has
no
business
with
you
,
he
simply
ignores
you
.
With
the
Martian
out
of
the
way
they
could
both
see
the
space
between
the
two
rocks
?
and
it
was
a
dead
end
,
empty
.
"
That
’
s
all
,
gentlemen
?
except
to
say
that
Agnew
might
have
jumped
that
rock
wall
,
under
Mars
’
low
surface
gravity
and
the
impetus
of
fear
–
but
I
could
not
and
I
tried
–
and
to
mention
that
these
two
crewmen
were
wearing
breathing
gear
–
have
to
,
on
Mars
–
and
hypoxia
can
make
a
man
’
s
senses
quite
unreliable
.
I
don
’
t
know
that
the
first
crewman
was
drunk
through
oxygen
shortage
;
I
just
mention
it
because
it
is
an
explanation
easier
to
believe
than
what
he
reported
?
which
is
that
Agnew
simply
disappeared
in
the
blink
of
an
eye
.
In
fact
I
suggested
as
much
to
him
and
ordered
him
to
check
the
demand
valve
and
the
rest
of
his
breather
gear
before
he
went
outside
again
.
"
You
see
,
I
thought
Agnew
would
show
up
presently
?
and
I
was
looking
forward
to
chewing
him
out
and
slapping
him
under
hack
for
going
armed
(
if
he
was
)
and
for
going
alone
(
which
seemed
certain
)
,
both
being
flagrant
breaches
of
discipline
.
"
But
he
never
returned
,
we
never
found
him
nor
his
body
.
I
do
not
know
what
happened
.
But
my
own
misgivings
about
Martians
date
to
that
incident
.
They
never
again
seemed
to
me
to
be
just
big
,
gentle
,
harmless
,
rather
comical
creatures
,
even
though
we
never
had
any
trouble
with
them
and
they
always
gave
us
anything
we
wanted
,
once
Stinky
figured
out
how
to
ask
for
it
.
I
played
down
the
incident
–
can
’
t
let
men
panic
when
you
’
re
a
hundred
million
miles
from
home
.
Oh
,
I
couldn
’
t
play
down
the
fact
that
Dr
.
Agnew
was
missing
and
the
whole
ship
’
s
company
searched
for
him
.
But
I
squelched
any
suggestion
that
there
had
been
anything
mysterious
about
it
–
Agnew
had
gotten
lost
among
those
rocks
.
had
eventually
died
,
no
doubt
,
when
his
oxygen
ran
out
?
and
was
buried
under
sand
drift
or
something
.
You
do
get
quite
a
breeze
both
at
sunrise
and
sundown
on
Mars
;
it
does
cause
the
sand
to
drift
.
So
I
used
it
as
a
reason
to
clamp
down
ever
harder
on
always
traveling
in
company
,
always
staying
in
radio
contact
with
the
ship
,
always
checking
breather
gear
?
with
Agnew
as
a
horrible
example
.
I
did
not
tell
that
crewman
to
keep
his
mouth
shut
;
I
simply
hinted
that
his
story
was
unbelievable
,
especially
as
his
mate
was
not
able
to
back
it
up
.
I
think
the
official
version
prevailed
.
"
Mahmoud
said
slowly
,
"
It
did
with
me
,
Captain
–
this
is
the
first
time
I
’
ve
heard
that
there
was
any
mystery
about
Agnew
.
And
truthfully
,
I
prefer
your
‘
official
’
version
–
I
’
m
not
inclined
to
be
superstitious
.
"
Van
Tromp
nodded
.
"
That
’
s
what
I
had
hoped
for
.
Only
Sven
and
myself
heard
that
crewman
’
s
wild
tale
–
and
we
kept
it
to
ourselves
.
But
,
just
the
same
-
"
The
space
ship
captain
suddenly
looked
old
.
"
-
I
still
wake
up
in
the
night
and
ask
myself
:
‘
What
became
of
Agnew
?
’
"
