Wembler pushed himself forward, his face white and drawn. "You wouldn't
find him, Captain," he said, shaking his head. "You'd never find him.
Harry Allison was first mate on the _Cumberland_ a year ago--he wasn't
'Allison' then. And he was my brother-in-law!"
The captain waved his arm toward the place where the lights had been.
"And that?" he shouted frenziedly. "What was all that?"
Wembler's hand closed over Henderson's arm. "You heard, Captain. It
was the _Cumberland_ sinking, just as she did a year ago when that
blackguard blew her up. And I heard my sister's voice calling to
Allison--and the others. The souls of those people he killed in his
devilish jealousy came back for him!"

SCIENCE FICTION IN ENGLISH MAGAZINES
Series Five
by Bob Tucker
The first two issues of "Scoops," England's new all-stf weekly, carries
"Master of the Moon," "The Striding Terror," "The Rebel Robots,"
"Rocket of Doom," "The Mystery of the Blue Mist," "Voice from the
Void," "The Soundless Hour," "The Battle of the Space Ships," "Z-2--Red
Flyer," and "Space!"
The first, fourth, eighth and tenth are interplanetary; the second is
about a human King Kong, fifty feet tall. "The Blue Mist" tale is of
invisibility, and the rest are self-explanatory. "The Soundless Hour"
tells of an hour of silence, produced by artificial means.
The "Modern Boy" magazine carried another scientific "Captain Justice"
tale, "Siege of the Sea-Eaglet" in their latest number.
"The Skipper," in a late March issue, features a story of a youth who
slept 100 years. He awakens to the super-modern world of tomorrow and
is promptly clanked behind bars and put on exhibition! "The Death
Dust," another story in the same issue, is, as the title indicates, an
artificial dust that kills.
This column can't resist a modest smirk, and remind you that an all-stf
mag, such as "Scoops," was brought up twice before here.
