It seems to me that I see our brave countrymen encamped at the bottom of a valley, on the borders of a Selenite stream, near the projectile, half buried by its fall, amidst volcanic remains, Captain Nicholl beginning his levelling operations, President Barbicane putting his travelling notes in order, Michel Ardan performing the lunar solitudes with his Londrès cigar-- Oh, it must be so; it is so! keywords: air; atmosphere; attraction; barbicane; bullet; cannon; captain; club; columbiad; day; days; disc; distance; earth; eyes; fact; fall; feet; friends; globe; gun; half; heat; hours; j.t; leagues; light; long; lunar; man; maston; means; michel; michel ardan; miles; moment; moon; mountains; movement; new; nicholl; order; place; point; president; president barbicane; projectile; question; rays; round; satellite; sea; space; speed; sun; surface; terrestrial; time; town; travellers; velocity; water; weight; work; world cache: 12901.txt plain text: 12901.txt item: #2 of 4 id: 16457 author: Verne, Jules title: All Around the Moon date: None words: 100199 flesch: 71 summary: Terra Mater_ herself, friend Ardan.

I pulled myself off the floor and out from under Bullard to see the stout, oldish figure of Captain Muller standing in the doorway, with Engineer Wilcox slouched easily beside him, looking like the typical natty space officer you see on television. keywords: air; bullard; captain; grundy; hand; jenny; lomax; man; muller; napier; paul; pietro; plants; ship; time; wilcox cache: 31286.txt plain text: 31286.txt item: #4 of 4 id: 31287 author: Coppel, Alfred title: Turnover Point date: None words: 2131 flesch: 98 summary: It had taken Kane time to understand what had happened to him, and now it was too late.
