I tried another channel.

"The truth is the one thing that nobody will believe."
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW 1856-1950
I went on hunting for eleven, the emergencies channel, by trial and error;
the read-out was marked but not by numbered channels-Auntie had her own codes.
The window reading "Help" was not help for emergencies as I had assumed, but
spiritual help. I punched it in and got "This is the Reverend Herold Angel
speaking from my heart direct to yours, at Tycho-Under Tabernacle, Christ's Home
in Luna. Tune in at eight o'clock Sunday to hear the true meanings of the
Scriptural prophecies... and send your love gift today to Box 99, Angel Station,
Tycho Under. Our Good News Theme for today: How We Will Know the Master When He
Comes. Now we join the Tabernacle Choir in 'Jesus Holds Me in His-'"
That sort of help was about forty minutes too late, so I moved on to
another channel. There I recognized a voice and concluded that I must be on
channel thirteen. So I called,
"Captain Midnight calling Captain Marcy. Come in. Captain Marcy."
"Marcy, ground control Hong Kong Luna. Midnight, what the devil are you up
to now? Over."
I tried to explain, in twenty-five words or less, how I happened to be on
his maneuvering circuit
