They appear, from pictures discovered in the many ruined cities dotting the planet, to have been quite similar physically to our race. Their tremendous waterways and cities gives evidence of a science far ahead of ours. The discovery of what were once Martian spacecraft, has led to the theory that we are the descendants of Martians who fled some terrible peril centuries ago. Throughout three years of exploration, the expedition came across no singly instance of life. Whatever peril, or cause, the Martians fled or were destroyed by, has long since perished along with all other life on the globe. Dr. Howard Sharp, noted physicist, and Bret Rand, space pilot, and members of the expedition, perished in a cave-in underneath one of the ancient cities; not through attack by alien life as early rumors stated. Further exploration of Mars will undoubtedly furnish science and - - - - ." The sunlight struck a shinning shaft of brilliance from the huge marble pillar. A curving flight of stairs circled the pillar and gave access to a huge dinning hall. Two men stood in the massive arched doorway. Their eyes, long accustomed to seeing the marvellous architecture and beauty of Martian buildings, followed the curving wall to an opening marking an ancient elevator shaft and to the massive stairs leading down. page six
