The Beachcomber--Alice saw the Beachcomber as a glorious hunk of man; Maxwell saw him as a super being from the future. Tragically, he was both!

The Worshipers--Destiny reached out a hand to Algernon Weaver--but he was a timid man, at first. But on the strange world of Terranova, there was much to be learned--of destiny, and other things.... Blackout-- A short short story that mentions Charles Fort. And it has an idea as strange as any conjectured by Mr. Fort.
