"They're going to shoot from the ports! Come down from there, Steve!" But Steve's hand was on the clutch and, as the _Adventurer_ began to go astern, his other hand turned the spokes of the wheel and the cruiser's bow came slowly around toward the _Follow Me._ "Come up here, Wink," he called, and then: "Put that hatch up all the way and keep behind it," he added as Wink slipped to his side.

"Can you get them from there ?" "Fine!" answered the other cheerfully.
"I'll try to keep her bow-on.

Careful not to kill anyone, old man.

Shoot for their arms." "How can I when they're out of sight down there ?" Wink complained.

"All I can do is shoot for the ports." "Don't shoot at all unless you have to," Steve cautioned.
