Available in unpaginated HTML, plain text (us-ascii), Plucker, EPUB, & MOBI formats from Ebook #26989.
Produced from Astounding Stories, April 1932. The HTML version includes artwork from that issue, which is uncredited. It may be signed in the lower right corner, but I can't make it out. Conceivably it could be H. W. Wesso; the style looks like his, and he did many illustrations around then.
The Project Gutenberg wrapper identifies the author as Sterner St. Paul Meek, the transcribed text itself as Capt. S. P. Meek.
