The almost black sky blazed with unfamiliarconstellations which nevertheless were notentirely strange. All of one long night wefollowed their slow circling about the pole,without guessing where we were. Only whenthe sky paled did we recognize a compact bevyof brilliant stars as the constellation which ourrace knows as the Big Dipper or the Great Bear.At that remote epoch the loose cluster whichwe know had not yet spread; visibly it was afamily of stars sailing through space like aflock of homing swallows. Millions of yearshence the gradually spreading flock will haveceased to survive, even as a legend of our race,and whatever creatures may navigate theoceans of the future will steer by other stars.
