"What else?" countered Moore calmly. "Horta was a washout on the
R-ray--and besides, our red ray doesn't burn like that. I think Horta's

Ross turned to the helmsman, then studied the chart that Artana had
provided. "We can circle just like this, and make Peak Four if we can
cut that drag a bit. Try reducing the speed."
It worked. At reduced speed the ship flew more truly, with less
pressure on the rudder. Ross sighed in relief. "Keep her there." He
spied the Princess leaning against the stanchion, and walked over.
"Quite a scare, wasn't it?"
