'A good officer on a modern merchant marine ship has a great deal of highly specialized knowledge. But if that man somehow found himself an officer on a merchant spaceship, his special knowledge would seem pretty useless - ordinarily. But not that trip!' (www.bertramchandler.com)

Notes

  • Chandler later expanded this short story into the novel, The Deep Reaches of Space (1964).
