"The cataclysm,” I said, "was terri- ble. But it was almost worth while to have achieved this wonderful spirit of friendship and helpfulness between nations."
For the first time in the evening Major Jagger laughed,
There was a sudden silence. Jagger turned his dark, mocking eyes upon the doctor.
"Do you imagine a cataclysm—or a hundred cataclysms-can change hu- man nature?" he said.

"The Muller-Henderson report is to be published on Monday," he an- nounced.
I sat up and leaned eagerly forward. In the early spring a well-equipped scientific expedition had left' Europe to explore the inland regions of the moon, led by Dr. Muller, the famous Norwe- gian scientist, and Professor Hender- son, of Cambridge University,
"When did they return?" inquired Dr. Cranley.
"In June," replied the Major. "Their report has been before the Interna- tional Council for nearly four months. I'm afraid there's trouble. Serious trouble."
"Trouble!" I exclaimed, "Why?" The Major turned to me. "You are a happy man, Mr. Hopkins. I hope you will remain so."

Again there was a silence. -“Can-you-tell-us-something-of-the- report?" asked Dr. Cranley.
"I can,” replied the Major. "There were some 'experts' who declared that the moon would prove to be a dry, destitute mass of rock--dead and use- less. Those 'experts' are going to look slightly foolish next week.”
