are reasonable, the power in reliable hands, and to us,
I hope, it is not necessary to resort to the air ships and to look for rescue in
similar flight. Why you will not taste this liqueur, the baron?
Henry was angry by a failure of promotion of a zvezdoplavaniye.
He expected to receive several checks for continuation of experiences
Zander.
Lady Hinton seemed she managed what as to the skillful captain, already
to bring the ship out of a strip of the most severe storm, and suddenly flew new:
Stormer who was silent all evening zagromykhat by the thunderous voice:
– And I assure you, the sir, – addressed he Blotton, – that in the southern seas
there will be not one ten more unopened islands. I well know Silent
ocean. In its southeast part, far from main ocean roads, and
now still it is possible to find a silent shelter, – the island which is not put on one
card… But… I am a businessman, the businessman not inclined to panic and
to hysterics. Silly, however, to close eyes to reality. We live
on a volcano. Yes. We with devilish (Hinton shuddered) speed fly in
abyss. I will not list the latest events, they are known to all.
It is necessary to be ready to the worst. Yes. – Everyone it “yes” rattled as
thunderclap. – I speak not about a silly pose a rack. The baron is right. It is necessary to fight
and at the same time to prepare ways of retreat, so far we did not tie hands and
there are capitals.
To construct the huge motor ship. Such “Noah’s Ark” of three hundred
meters and with the displacement of eighty five – hundred thousand tons. So
mechanized that it was possible to manage the minimum quantity
crew – from young people of exclusive classes. Any
the proletarian, because all of them are obvious or our secret enemies. Yes. How many
wars, revolutions will last? Four-five years? We will be able to take
food on six, for eight years. Not to mention an opportunity
replenishments of stocks fishing and hunting on lonely islands. And we
let’s sit out. We will be able to keep thus the life if not the
capitals. I offer, without postponing, to organize the company for
constructions of “Noah’s Ark”. Needless to say that members of this
the companies will be only chosen and all case will be processed in the most strict
to secret. My project does not exclude yours, the sir, – turned Stormer to
To Blotton, having filled on him the red face with goggle rachy
eyes. – He agrees: to open our floating island our enemies nevertheless
will be able. In a zvezdoplavaniye I, unfortunately, understand nothing. But if it
it is feasible why don’t we prepare as a last resort and to
to the last jump – from Earth to abysses of the sky? You will not refuse courtesy,
the sir to acquaint me with your inventor?
If he convinces me that a zvezdoplavaniye not a chimera, I am the first
I will bring a share.
– Ffva you fverit Nneuzheli in a zvezdoplavaniye and hkhgotova to fvlozhit фв it
business to., to., capital? – Marshal Stormera when they asked
came back from lady Hinton.
– I trust! Yes! – Stormer bellowed. – Both of us are businessmen, the baron, and with you
I can frankly speak, – it continued more quietly. – I trust in
the zvezdoplavaniye is as firm, as in a placer on the Thames. Yes.
Listen. If the Thames proceeded for thousands of kilometers from London, in
to the exotic country, thousands would believe in a placer on the Thames.
You remember mine “silver mines” in New Zealand or I wash “the Australian
oil”? I acquired on them millions, and they existed only in imagination
shareholders. Now you understand, as on the Thames can be gold
scatterings which will enrich us?
The car began to shake as if flew on the timbered bridge. Driver
looked back.
It Mr. Stormer laughed.
– Situation really extremely serious, – was continued by it more quietly and
more quietly. – What we endure, you know. In three countries already
communists dominate. Every day brings news of new
suicides. Whether long ago Smith, Milton., behind them Skarfas, now
Сиддонс, Abbington… Real epidemic. The most terrible crises happened and
earlier, but committed a suicide the few. Why? People trusted: behind crisis
again there will come the prosperity era. There is no this belief now. Who was ruined —
it was ruined forever. Unless I am not right?
– Fff…
– Such is situation and such is mood. Revolutions and ruin,
inevitable as death, guard all of us. Inevitable death. Stormer
made a pause to recover the breath.
– The person despaired. Was overstrung. It was exhausted. The person already stretches
hand to the revolver. And this minute to it our agent comes and speaks:
“We can save you. We will provide you a silent shelter where will not reach
