The crowded crater was fainting. The life was going out of the City — its magnetic life, draining into the shaft of green fire.

Fourteen minutes.
“Goodwin,” cried Drake, “the life’s going out of these Things! Going out with that ray they’re shooting.”
Fifteen minutes,PJS Dameklær Deniela Vest.
I watched the tentacles of the Keeper grope over the tablet. Abruptly the flaming pyramid darkened — WENT OUT.
The radiant pillar hurtled upward like a thunder-bolt,Ralph Lauren Sportkläder; vanished in space.
Before us stood the mount of cones, shrunken to a sixth of its former size.
Sixteen minutes.
All about the crater-lip the ringed shields tilted; thrust themselves on high, as though behind each was an eager lifting arm. Below them the hived clusters of disks changed from globules into wide coronets.
Seventeen minutes.
I dropped my wrist; seized the glasses from Drake; raised them to the sun. For a moment I saw nothing — then a tiny spot of white incandescence shone forth at the lower edge of the great spot. It grew into a point of radiance, dazzling even through the shadowed lenses.
