"But that's an I-S Stat," began Dane and then he laughed as the justice

"We'll see about that when we come to it," Rip went on to the control
cabin with his figures. Carefully he punched the combination on the

his collapse.
"Good enough," he commented as the result flashed on. "We can make it

"Nothing," he gave his report of what he had found there and then
returned to the earlier question.
