Mrs. Dale records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Dr. Gardiner took Isabel Fielding's flat. On New Year's Eve the family went to King's Acre for Joan and Angus's wedding. Alec seemed depressed, and the reason for this became clear when the Dales returned to London. Denby Harris had a bad financial crash and Alec was arrested. Grandfather Dale sent for Miriam and the children. He and Dr. Dale stood surety for Alec's bail at the Magistrate's Court. Sally and Richard Fulton were worried about 'Stephanie,' and Raffaele made a tentative offer to buy it. The Owens came to London for the first night of Jenny's play, which was a great success.

Doc and Lemmy were forced to board the spherical flying machine which Mitch, who treated his former crew-mates as total strangers, thought was a plane. The sphere took off and finally landed in the region of Lacus Solis where, to Doc and Lemmy's surprise, a flourishing city stood. Meanwhile Frank Rogers , on Jet Morgan's orders, flies in pursuit of the sphere in Freighter No. I, and is reporting his progress to Jet who is still in the land fleet down on the Martian surface.
