against great odds, or going to a smashing finish in an aerial combat, carrying as many of the enemy as he could with him to Valhalla. But this! His body to feed the fishes and not lie beneath some great memorial, with people coming to gaze in awe at this last resting place of a great hero! Better, almost, to be taken prisoner. But Garth Devlin proved himself to be a hero and the ocean his tomb. And the ocean is all-embracing, a monument to him, as his sacrifice was a monument to the courage of those who play its watery waste and call its sands their homes. The End *-*-* Rejecting a Rejection Slip (If you are one of those guy's who are deeply intellectual, and firm and unshakeable believers in the Purpose of Science-Fiction, don't read this. It may shock you!) One of the members of the Cosmic Club, who has asked that his name not be revealed here, actually sent the following to the editor of a pro mag, after an effort to crash the editorial gate had come to no avail! "Dear Editor: We are very sorry to have to reject this rejection slip, but it does not quite come up to our standards. We have carefully read it through, and want you to understand that this is no way bars you from sending other rejection slips to us in the future. We suggest that you study our stories and try submitting a rejection slip to fit the manuscript. Do not decorate your rejection slip. Merely have it printed in black ink, double spaced and on one side of the card only, made from ordinary rejection slip paper. May we ask that if you have any more rejection slips, you send them along for our approval. We read every rejection slip thoroughly. Thank you, and better luck next time!" Signed, A.
