In just a moment, X minus one, but first, there's a certain water commissioner who's interested in the ladies, sometimes overshadows his interest in civic affairs. His name is a familiar one, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, and he'll pursue his adventures tomorrow night when NBC Radio presents another comic episode of The Great Gildersleeve. So when you hear the

familiar voice and hearty laugh of The Water Commissioner from Summerfield tomorrow, why stay tuned and enjoy another romantic scramble with the one and only The Great Gildersleeve on this NBC station. And I'll stay tuned for X minus one on NBC.

Countdown for Blast Off, X minus five, four, three, two, X minus one, fire. From the far horizons of the unknown, come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space.

These are stories of the future. Adventures in which you'll live in a million could be years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with Galaxies Science Fiction magazine presents Hech, hech, hech, hech, hech, hech, hech, minus minus, minus, minus, minus, minus, minus, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one.

Tonight's story, The Sea Shoot by Isaac Asimov. We were on our way home to Earth when it happened. Six of us coming home as passengers aboard the merchant's spaceship starfire at the star of the second interstellar war, the one between Earth and the planet Clorob.

Then it happened. Now hear this, condition red, condition red. We are under attack from a claw and battle cruiser. All hands forward to battle stations. Passengers will remain confined to the after cabin condition red.

We are being attacked. The interception by the claw and cruiser. The murder is running jewel of energy blasts and force field defenses. We huddled in the passengers after cabin, terrified, not knowing how the battle was going.
