Blair shook his head. Then he came closer and put his hand on Kenneth Gregory's arm.
"All of the Lang boats are out now, Captain. Everything is being done, I can assure you. It would be no use."
"Are there no other boats here than Lang's?"
"Only the alien fleet."
The man in uniform whirled about decisively.
"Then I'll get one of them. Will you show me where they are?"
"It would be no use. They wouldn't go. You see——"
"Let's try."
With some reluctance Blair consented.
