TO MARS via THE MOON

Drawn by M. Wicks
View from the Air-ship, over the Canals and the City of Sirapion
What a splendid view we then had over the country all around us!... Across the country, in line after line, were the canals which we had been so anxious to see, extending as far as the eye could reach!

By MARK WICKS It is astronomy which will eventually be the chief educator and emancipator of the human race. —Sir Edwin Arnold. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON SEELEY AND CO. LIMITED 38 Great Russell Street 1911
