134 THE FANTASY FAN, May, 1934 SCIENCE FICTION IN ENGLISH MAGAZINES Series Five by Bob Tucker The first two issues of "Scoops," England's new all-stf weekly, carries "Master of the Moon," "The Striding Terror," "The Rebel Robots," "Rocket of Doom," "The Mystery of the Blue Mist," "Voice from the Void," "The Soundless Hour," "The battle of the spacc Ships," "Z-2-- Red Flyer," and "Space!" The first, fourth, eighth and tenth are interplanetary; the second is about a human King Kong, fifty feet tall. "The Blue Mist" tale is of invisibility, and the rest are self-explanatory. "The Soundless Hour" tells of an hour of silence, produced by artificial means. The "Modern Boy" magazine carried another scientific "Captain Justice" tale, "Siege of the Sea-Eaglet" in their latest number. "The Skipper," in a late March issue, features a story of a youth who slept 100 years. He awakens to the super-modern world of tomorrow and is promptly clanked behind bars and put on exhibition! "The Death Dust" another story in the same issue, is, as the title indicates, an artificial dust that kills. This column can't resist a modest smirk, and remind you that an all-stf mag, such as "Scoops," was brought up twice before here. We hope to present another article in this series very soon. One of the three launched himself suddenly forward, striking Captain Henderson, and pushing him violently aside. He sprawled on the deck, but felt hands helping him to his feet almost immediately. At the same moment the voice of Munro came to him, shouting, "Man overboard--Man overboard!" "Good God!" shouted the captain. "Shut up, Munro. We can't send anyone out there to look for him." He swung about and looked at the men grouped about him; almost at once he saw that the man named Allison was missing. Wembler pushed himself forward, his face white and drawn. "You wouldn't find him, Captain," he said, shaking his head. "You'd never find him. Harry Allison was first mate on the Cumberland a year ago -- he wasn't 'Alison' then. And he was my brother-in-law!" The captain waved his arm toward the place where the lights had been. "And that?" he shouted frenziedly. "What was all that?" Wembler's hand closed over Henderson's arm. "You heard, Captain. It was the Cumberland sinking, just as she did a year ago when that blackguard blew her up. And I heard my sister's voice calling to Allison--and the others. The souls of those people he killed in his devilish jealousy came back for him!" Finis
