"What do you mean, 'well'? asked his friend gloomily. "All right, wise guy! You had better get busy with those brains, so called, to figure a way to climb this thing instead of making cute remarks."

But before he could shoot the gun in the strangers hand spat a thin pencil-like ray that struck Sanders in the face. He fell, paralysed Jack awakened by Sanders challenge, sat up and reached for his gun but before his hand
