Quotes by A. Bertram Chandler (?)

“A look-out?” asked Captain Beynon. “How do you work that, Flight Commander?” “We lower a cage, Captain,” said Stewart. “The man in the cage has a voicepipe. As soon as he sees anything that he can identify he whistles up, and informs the Navigator. But here comes the watch now.”
― A. Bertram Chandler, Glory Planet

“If you knew for sure the world would end at 5:30 tomorrow, would there be one heart's desire you'd want to achieve beforehand?”

“He sang, Farewell to the homeworld forever, Farewell to each warm, golden day, Farewell to the seas and the forests, For we’re bound out for Botany Bay! ‘Botany Bay was better than where we’re bound for,’ said Clayton. ‘But my ancestors weren’t real criminals. They only picked a few pockets or burgled a few houses. They weren’t guilty of the real crime — passing their forty-fifth birthdays!’ Singing, tooral I ooral I addy, Singing torool I ooral I ay, Singing tooral I ooral I addy — And we’re bound out for Botany Bay!”
― A. Bertram Chandler, The Bitter Pill
