"Stinkers!" he yelled, shaking his fist. "Out here come and fight! Take you both on I can!"
When they only gaped, he whirled and sped off to rejoin the chase.
"You see?" said Cassidy. "Now what do you think?"
"I think we'd better get that directional stabilizer working."
It took more than an hour to locate the trouble. "The rectifier circuit's shot," Cassidy said finally. "But maybe we can patch it up. Some of the amplifiers I suppose we can do without. But a hyper-oscillator we've got to have."
"Say, you're doing it too," said Mason.
"What?"
"Talking like the natives."
