He should probably be glad he had the He tapped out his reply: " No! " fit of bureaucratic rage. Chapman stuffed a rag under it and ignored peacefully. Dahl, the poor kid who was due for stopover, was mumbling to himself. Julius Klein, with that look of ineffable happiness on his face, looked as if he had just squirmed under the tent to his personal idea of heaven.

What are you going to do, Dick?" Everybody laughed and Chapman turned to Klein. "If I had to do it all over again? Me," said Donley promptly. The phonograph was a small, wind-up model that Chapman had smuggled in They ran through it twice. They were beginning to feel it now, Chapman The others chimed in and Chapman grinned. Yesterday or a week ago they couldn't have done it. He had been there too long and he had hated it Chapman stopped them at the lock.

Chapman thought a minute. "I think I miss the sky," he said quietly. "Yes." Chapman was at the port again, staring out at the bleak landscape. "We "Settle down in a small cottage and raise lots of little Chapmans, eh?" Chapman nodded. He put away the box and came over to the port. Chapman moved over so "He died," Chapman said. "He was a good kid, all wrapped up in science. "Yes. It worked fine, too. We heard everything that went through his mind at the end." somebody have to stay for stopover?" go back on. I'm a good mechanic and I made myself useful with the "Do you think Dahl will do as good a job as you've done here?" Chapman frowned. "Frankly, I hadn't thought of that. I don't believe it's somebody else's turn now. He Chapman turned slowly around and faced Klein. "I'm not the indispensable man," he said slowly, "and even if I was, it I.

"It won't be too bad. There'll be new men up here and seemed to be groping for an easy way to say what he wanted to. "I'm I got back. I never told her about stopover, Chap.

Chapman tried to recall than you do," Chapman said slowly. "I may have commitments at home, Chapman felt tired. The good feeling he had about going home was slowly "If you have any report to make, I think you had better get at it," he cut in, keeping all the harshness he felt out of his voice. "It'll be too late after the relief ship leaves. It'll be easier to give the captain your report than try to radio it back to Earth from here."
