All I could say was that it was an instance where the facts were against
the theory, and I knew that in such cases it was always safest to believe
in the facts. I could distinctly remember each step of our journey, and
there could be no mistake about our present understanding. What settled
the question more firmly than ever was this thought: If we were not on
Mars, where were we? We must be somewhere.
By the time I had disposed of all my doubts I was becoming drowsy, and
then I began to think of the doctor and his unfortunate condition of mind.
This malady would doubtless increase and I should have to look out for
him, and at the same time fill the arduous position of the only sound
representative of our race in Mars. I resolved to try once more to make my
companion see how ridiculous his strange fancy was and realize the danger
of clinging to it.
With this thought my brain lost coherence, and I passed over the invisible
boundary into dreamland. It was a beautiful evening in summer. I was at
home among my friends and we were sitting in the open air.
