Stowaways

Stowaways Stowaways is always a problem for ship owners as long as the ship is on the sea. This is a relatively small problem with early stages of navigation and more free maritime law. This is probably because the ship is smaller than the current standard and the number of people is large. Therefore, the possibility that it can not be found even if the storage cabin is always on board is very small. Also in that era, the concept of "human rights" was not like today, and everyone discovered was often an unwilling member of the crew.

The story begins with the EDS pilot who discovered that his cargo ship is hidden by stowaways in the cargo hold. He forced the man to go out and he learned that she was an 18 year old woman. If the stowaway is a man, he will be ready to shoot in front of you; a young woman is another matter. He called his liner to see if there is any other way to abandon her. No He explained the situation to her; he and some colonists will die, regardless of whether she is dead or she. She was given an hour of time to change the course, wrote a letter to her parents and called her brothers who were colonizers of the intended planet. The situation is very serious. The ship brought hot serum to settlers. That young lady was very attractive, and when I was a child I remembered her kittens. Finally, she voluntarily entered the air rock and was abandoned. The last few lines of the story are as follows.

The story is entirely on the emergency dispatch vessel (EDS), and the planet to Woden needs many medical supplies urgently needed. Pilot Burton found a stowaway: an 18 year old girl. According to the law, all EDS hangars are abandoned, as the EDS ship does not carry more fuel than necessary to safely land at the destination. This girl, Marilyn, just wants to see her brother Jerry, I do not know the law. When she got into the EDS, Marilyn saw the signature that "unauthorized people will keep in touch!" If I thought she had to pay a penalty if she got caught. Barton explained that her presence exceeded the weight limit and the subsequent collapse killed them and forced colonists to wait for medical items. Marilyn had contacted his older brother at the last moment of his life and then casually entered the air rock and was shot into outer space.

Smuggling theme and failure of space resources appear in other stories. The story of Arthur C. Clarke Breaking Strain (1949) exceeds the ability of the life support system. The same happened to Herge's Tintin on the moon. The commander, Delhart, is an officer who reports when the pilot wants to do something to stowaways. Although not explicitly stated, he may be the star cruiser's commander. In the same paragraph, the pilot named his name Barton. The girl's brother is Jerry Cross, her name is Marilyn Lee Cross.
