Being space-wrecked and marooned is tough enough. But to face the horrors of such a planet as this was too much. Imagine Fawkes' "Is—is anything broken?" she asked. "Don't know. Help me up." Between them he managed to struggle to his with Universal. What happened? I feel like I'd been poured out of a concrete mixer." She pointed to the wreck of a small space freighter a dozen feet away. into my bunk. The next thing I knew you were bending over me." He paused. "I guess the automatic deflectors slowed me up or I would have "I was going to explain," he heard her say. "We think that we are on an asteroid." "We?" he looked back at her. "Yes. There are twenty-seven of us. We were on our way to Jupiter, too, only we were going to be wives for the colonists." "I remember," he exclaimed. "Didn't the Jupiter Food-growers Association enlist you girls to go to the colonies?" She nodded her head. "Only twenty-seven of us came through the crash." "Everybody thought your space ship hit a meteor," he said. "We hit this asteroid." "But that was three years ago." "Has it been that long? We lost track of time." She didn't take her your space ship. You had been thrown clear. You were lying all in a heap. I thought you were dead." She stooped, picked up a spear. "Do you feel strong enough to hike back to our camp? It's only about "I think so," he said. Jonathan Fawkes fidgeted uncomfortably. He would rather pilot a space ship through a meteor field than face twenty-seven young women. They were the only thing in the Spaceways of which he was in awe. Then he realized that the girl's dark blue eyes had strayed beyond him. A frown them. She said: "Get down!" Her voice was agitated. She flung herself on her after her stupidly. "Get down!" she reiterated in a furious voice. He let himself to his hands and knees. "Ouch!" he said. He felt like he was being jabbed with pins. He must be one big bruise. He scuttled the hills we'll be safe." "Centaurs! Isn't there anything new under the sun?" "Well, personally," she replied, "I never saw a Centaur until I was wrecked on this asteroid." She reached the ravine, crawled head foremost over the edge. Jonathan tumbled after her. He hit the bottom, winced, scrambled to his feet. The girl started at a trot for the "Too rough. They're like horses," she said. "Nothing but a goat could get around in the hills." it to her waist. Jonathan gaped. Such strength and accuracy astounded him. He thought, amazons and centaurs. He thought, but this is the year 3372 He said, "I've got a couple of cartons of cigarettes back at the freighter. Centaurs or no centaurs, I'm going to get a smoke." "No!" She clutched his arm. He was surprised at the strength of her grip. "They'd kill you," she said. "I can sneak back," he insisted stubbornly. "They might loot the ship. He lifted his eyebrows. He thought, she is an amazon! He firmly them from up the canyon. Her bare legs flashed like ivory. She was barefooted, and she had black hair. A green cloth was wrapped around bend in the canyon. With shouts of joy they flung themselves on him. Jonathan was game, but the nine husky amazons pinned him down by sheer weight. They bound him hand and foot. Then four of them picked him up bodily, started up the canyon chanting: " He was a rocket riding daddy from Mars. been broken three times. A thin white scar crawled down the bronze of his left cheek, relic of a barroom brawl on Venus. He was big, rangy, tough. And these girls had trounced him. Girls! He almost wept from mortification. He said, "Put me down. I'll walk." "You won't try to get away?" said Ann. held aloft by four barbarous young women. "Let him down," said Ann. "We can catch him, anyway, if he makes a break." two husky females, who ogled him shamelessly. He was amazed at the ease with which they had carried him. He was six feet three and no light weight. He thought enviously of the centaurs, free to gallop across the plains. He wished he was a centaur. picked his way gingerly, hugged the rock. "Don't be afraid," advised one of his captors. "Just don't look down." they resembled men. Waists, shoulders, arms and heads were identical to his own, but their bodies were the bodies of horses. "Centaurs!" Jonathan Fawkes said, not believing his eyes. The girls set up a shout and threw stones down at the centaurs, who reared, pawed the air, and galloped to a safe distance, from which they hurled back insults in a strange tongue. Their voices sounded faintly like the neighing of horses. Amazons and centaurs, he thought again. He couldn't get the problem of the girls' phenomenal strength out of his mind. Then it occurred to him that the asteroid, most likely, was smaller even than Earth's moon. He must weigh about a thirtieth of what he usually did, due to the lessened gravity. It also occurred to him that they would be thirty times as strong. He was staggered. He wished he had a smoke. At length, the amazons and the centaurs tired of bandying insults along its banks, the first he had seen on the asteroid. At the head of the valley, he made out the massive pile of a space liner. the girls would hoist him on their shoulders and bear him into the camp "No. No," Ann Clotilde hastened to explain. "He was wrecked like us." "Oh," came a disappointed chorus. a captive princess. All the confidence engendered by the familiar settings of the space ship went out of him like wind. He, Jonathan Fawkes, was a castaway on an asteroid inhabited by twenty-seven wild women. As the meal boisterously progressed, he regained sufficient courage they're like." Billy said, "How badly wrecked is your ship?" movement pulled his muscles like a rack. Furthermore, an overpowering lassitude was threatening to pop him off to sleep before their eyes. arms. "Help me with these boots." But they resisted every twenty-seven handsome strapping amazons. He wished he could carry it rich cultivated voice, and a nose like a hawk. "We are members of the Interstellar Cosmography Society. We've been commissioned to make a cursory examination of this asteroid. You had a nasty crack up, Mr. Fawkes. But you are in luck, sir. We were on the point of returning when we sighted the wreck." "I'm going to stay," he repeated. "I only came back here after the cigarettes." "But it will be three years before the asteroid's orbit brings it back in the space lanes," said Doctor Boynton. "You don't possibly expect to be picked up before then!" women He shook his head. They argued, they cajoled, but Jonathan was adamant. He said, "You might report my accident to Universal. Tell them to stop one of their Jupiter-bound freighters here when the asteroid swings back in the space ways. I'll have a load for them."
