ue him. That type of story reminds me
a lot of the one where Jonah was rescued from the deep by
the timely arrival of the friendly whale. By the way,
there's a suggestion for a reprint. I will admit that it
would be just about as new to me as some of the others that
have been suggested in this "Corner."--Richard Lewis, 448

_Not So "Green" in Ireland_

Dear Editor:

I suppose it's not often you get a letter from an Irish
"Paddy," but here's one now. Here in Cork we don't get
magazines like Astounding Stories regularly, but I got the
May issue to-day and could not stop until I had devoured it
from cover to cover. "The Atom Smasher" is a story which I
have been hunting for for years. When I had finished it, I

find another Astounding Stories I'll burn up the pages
looking for the name Victor Rousseau. Next in order I liked
"Brigands of the Moon" and "The Jovian Jest." Thought the
story "Into the Ocean's Depths" an awful fairy tale, but
otherwise good reading. The painter of the cover design is a
real artist and I wish to express my appreciation of his
wonderful rendering of a difficult subject.--Fitz-Gerald

Read that paragraph and you will find Dr. Miles Breuer is
most brilliant in his philosophy and clever in the
application of that philosophy in his masterpiece of the
science of communication.--Don L. Schweitzer, 1402 Bancroft

_"Taking a Claw Hold"_

Dear Editor:

Was just reading the September issue of A. S. and find it
ranging first among the Science Fiction magazines now
printed. I'm certain your "Jetta of the Lowlands" is going
to be a masterpiece of Ray Cummings. He is my favorite
writer.

I did not like "Earth, the Marauder." It was too much drawn
out and very dry. "Brigands of the Moon" was excellen
