Cunora got up and led Rolla to the entrance. The glow of "the Silvery
Way" was all the help that the girl's catlike eyesight needed; she
seemed reassured.
"Ye look very strange and excited, Rolla, but not mad. Tell me again
what thou didst see and hear, that I may compare it with what ye have
already told."
Rolla began again; and meanwhile, on the earth, the doctor's companions
telepathically congratulated him on his success. He had put the great
idea into a fertile mind.
Presently they began to look for other minds. It seemed wise to get the
notion into as many Sanusian heads as possible. For some hours this
search proceeded; but in the end, after getting in touch with some forty
or fifty individuals in as many different parts of the planet, they
concluded that they had first hit upon the most advanced specimens that
Sanus afforded; the only ones, in fact, whose intellect were strong
enough to appreciate the value of what they were told. The investigators
were obliged to work with Rolla, Dulnop, and Corrus only; upon these
three depended the success of their unprecedented scheme.
Rolla continued to keep watch upon Supreme; and toward morning--that is,
morning in that particular part of Sanus--the architect was rewarded by
catching the bee in a still drowsy condition.
