Chapter III
Clouds of Doom Suddenly a red shape flashed over the great glass dome above us. In a moment I heard Bill call out, "Hey, Doc, comp'ny's come!" Dr. Vernon and I hurried out of the room. He paused to double lock the door behind him, and we went down to the hall. We found Bill and Ellen both waiting at the front door, each holding a 30-30 carbine.
