5 Quotations from Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr.
hell planet n. | 1940 | Star Pirate in Planet Stories Summer 76/2 Iโve thought of you a great deal these eleven years! In the radium fields of that hell-planet Mercury, hunting gold in the stinking Venusian jungles, prospecting the dusty, choking deserts of Mars!
sailship n. | [1950 | When Time Went Mad in Thrilling Wonder Stories Feb. 24/2 One moment I was over old New York, aiming toward the updrafts in Wall Street Valleyโฆ. But there's a town to the west.โฆ. Iโd never seen a town like that and Iโve flown all around New York and beyond in my sail-ship.]
spacehand n. | 1938 | Forgiveness of Tenchu Taen in Astounding Science-Fiction Nov. 120/1 Here in the Olech, squat Jovian spacehands rub shoulders with languid Venusian traders; dark Mercurians drink with the dak-men of Neptune; and tall Terrestrials swagger contemptuously through the crowds of โreddies,โ copper-skinned sons of Mars. Above the babel of a hundred polyglot tongues one can hear the sibilant hissing of the Martian dialects. Like flitting shadows the little reddies, clad in their long, loose dust-robes, glide along the crooked streets, mysterious, inscrutable.
terrestial n. | 1942 | Pied Piper of Mars in Planet Stories Spring 88/1 Before the night is out, all terrestials on Mars will be imprisoned or dead.
terrestial adj. | 1938 | Exterminators in Thrilling Wonder Stories Aug. 50/1 Gasping, Sheridan recognized Dr. Ernst Flane, the noted terrestial physicist who had gone into voluntary exile on Jupiter with a small group of assistants, in order to study the cosmic rays.
