A Trip to the Moon
During the war the Germans were
imbarding Paris with a long-range
in. According to the terms of the
rmistice this gun was to be turned
ver to the allies. When the allies
it it an American inventor wanted
i make an experiment with it. With
little altering he fixed it so it would
re a shell to the moon. In about
iree weeks he had fixed compart
lents in it, so it would comfortably
old fifty people.
He asked several of his friends to
0 with him. I had the honor of be
lg included, and immediately accept
1 his invitation. The inventor and
is wife were going up, too. In all,
lere were twenty men and twenty
ve women.
The shell was to be fired from
Washington, D. C., at 12 M., Wednes
ay. We had a week in which to get
eady. When the week was up we
ere all there.
In one compartment, were many
inks filled with oxygen, while in an
ther, food was stored. In addition,
lere was the dining room, the parlor
nd a smoking room, while in the end
ere the bedrooms.
The inventor had given instructions
n \\r fn firo tha trnn AA'Vi on o-nf
Lit of reach of the gravity of the earth
ud up close to the moon we sailed
round it onee or twice to see what it
>oked like. After having satisfied
ur curiosity we landed in the center
f a big town. Thousands of people
ocked around the shell so that we
ad a hard time getting out. We
ioked around and everything looked
d strange we did not know what to
o with ourselves.
They have wireless stations up
lere and the people seem to be bet
sr educated than we are. Down here
e think the moon changes, but it is
1st the atmosphere that changes.
It took us three weeks going up add
Vo weeks coming down. When we
tnded, reporters wanted to know our
tory, bo we told them.
—Harry O’Neill.
