“It is now under the influence of your world’s attraction, and travelling with you as a binary, and as you see is too far off to affect this planet for the short time it will stay.” Then it was for the visitors to see what friendship was, to have ‘coals of fire’ heaped upon them, for the natives made light of their sufferings, and not only telepathed that there was nothing to forgive, but persisted in thanking them for their kindness in relieving them from the dreadful atmosphere. Such magnanimity made the visitors exceedingly contrite and feel that they could have submitted to abuse, even, rather than such overwhelming kindness and generosity; but it proved to them that in a higher life feelings of evil and resentment find no place, but instead there is the forgiveness that can both forget and forgive, though the past injuries be incalculably great. The attracted planet could not stay where it was for any great length of time, as it would soon affect the climatic conditions of the world to which it had been drawn, so the travellers were obliged to leave their noble friends, who parted with them most affectionately, they feeling sincere remorse at their treatment by the kind inhabitants as they set out for the adjoining world, obtaining a splendid rebound straight for the solar system with the absconding planet in their wake; the position it should at that time be occupying having been correctly worked out by Rollsborough, it was restored to its proper place and orbit in which it sped onwards in its journey round the sun—this time free from the belt of semi-opaque ether in which it had hitherto floated. Then the _Regina_ settled into its atmosphere. First locating the place where the mutineers had originally been stored, but finding it a waste, they hunted for them with their glasses in many parts; and at last, on a lonely shore, they saw two men, apparently terrestrials, dirty and unkempt, their clothing and faces smeared and hair matted with slime. These men, too feeble to stand without staggering, signalled to the ship, which settled down to find two of the party of which they were in search—Congreve and Hewitt. Several of the fellows came out of the vessel and were told in a few words, rendered painful by the cracked lips and tongue, where their companions were. Then came the long and difficult task of getting the six men from the cave, for they were all too ill to help themselves, and the entrance being under water it was necessary to dive to get inside. However, it was accomplished at last, though Dawson became unconscious again with the effort, and the whole eight were soon on board the _Regina_ and well looked after. As they reclined in lounge-chairs enjoying the rest and comfort, and already feeling considerably better, Bolford remarked,—“Did not the _Regina_ send the planet ‘Ramsar’ out of its orbit?” “Yes,” replied Ross, “I regret to say that is the case, I believe.” “How did you do it, and why?” asked Siddall.
