Eid- thanks you saved me from the company of those savage women, you are very kind.
Garth- nobody will push you around as long as you are with me..
But eid! You will also not order around any body! Come let us sit together and make some further plans.[y-272]
Garth- ‘this area has six quarks ,so till they pick you up back to your time ,either we stay in hiding to save ourselves from them  or else we look for these quarks and kill them!
Eid-that would be suicidal, hiding will be better!
Guy- stay hiding out of fear for them will be cowardly, we will hunt them!
Garth-me too! Eid we are in majority of two![y-273]
Ut[to garth]-you accompany us to our camp which is safe from quarks.
Garth-safe?
Ut- almost safe.
After one hour-‘this is the camp’ ut says pointing towards a triangular land mass on high ground with it’s promontory towards the river edge..
Eid- but how can this be safe, on the other hand if quarks come we will be trapped here![y-274]
Ut, garth and group of friends reach the edge of the atoll –ut explains showing several ropes hung from atop the knoll hanging down towards the river-if quarks come we will climb down these ropes and cross the river on boat.
Garth- ut1this is a safe bait!
Ut- ‘almost’
But one quark also swims in river water, once four of our men was eaten by the quark while crossing the river , only women could survive![y-275]
Page-16
Later in the camp Garth is squatting on the ground fashioning some crude tools watched over by eid and guy!---
Garth-firstoff we should get rid of this swimmer quark!
Guy- right! But how? Bullets don’t stop them!
Eid – but why are you wasting your bullets on him?
Garth – no eid I am setting a trap for him!
After we make all preparations we will go for quark hunting![y-276]
In the evening- ut approaches garth who is busy making a crude explosive device-
‘we will keep watch for the quark at nigt’
Garth- very good ut we will also participate in keeping watch!
Guy- Garth I will do double shift on guard duty so can stay with eid ,I cannot leave her alone!
Eid-GUY!
Guy- eid I will not allow you to do as you wish!
Eid- I am not refusing, just wanted to thank you!
Garth [overhearing the raises eye brows in mock surprise]-! Something is changing between them![y-277]
Morning- Garth shakes up eid- wake up! We go hunting the swimmer quark!
Later eid questions garth – you were saying something about going fishing Garth?
Garth- I have made a crude bomb fro the black charcoal powder, and have an oily fuse!
We fit this in to the abdomen of a dead animal, and this will be our bet!
Guy- second bait! Garth will be the first bait!y-278]
Ut and his men seek out the river quark
Garth – oh! So he is upstream we should set out now!
Garth- you and eid occupy your posts , you know your part?
Guy- you don’t worry!
Eid- garth,thanks for all this
Garth- don’t say that this is not goodbye meeting, I will come back yety279]
Page-17
Garth baits sleeping quark from a small canoe- come on wake up , you flu producing  brute microbe!
Garth paddles away and escapes quickly in his canoe as the giant quark awakens and opens his huge jaws—“ it is enlarged zillionth times its original size, here penicillin is not going to help kill this .[y280]
Garth reaches the fast flowing rapids with swimmer quark in hot pursuit!eid and guy are waiting for garth purched on the limb of a tree over hanging th rapids
Guy- garth has arrived eid prepare the fuse!
Eid- right!
Huge brute microbe follows swimming through the rapids.[y281]
Garth positions his canoe underneath the large overhanging branch of the tree on which are perched eid and guy with the carcass of a dead animal with it’s leg tied to a rope with guy hanging on to it with one arm and other arm tightly grasping the tree branch-
Garth –‘hold on tightly to that branch guy!’
Eid- guy let go of the rope quark is catching the bait!
Meanwhile Garth is thrown off the canoe as its bottom is struck by a rock submerged in river water.[y-282]
While guy is busy feeding the quark carcass of a dead animal containing the lethal improvised explosive device eid warns him-‘ guy look! Garth boat has overturned.’
Quark wallows the bait of dead animal with the bomb sewed inside it’s belly and turns to follow Garth who is wondering if the fuse would have been extinguished as there was plenty of air inside not to let it be extinguished.[y-282]
Page-18
Garth climbs atop the submerged rock  as the quark charges towards him-
Eid- guy he is trapped!
Guy jumps down into the river holding along knife-‘ I should help him’!
Eid-  no!there is no hope!
Garth makes a huge leap and jumps over the top of quark’s huge gaping mouth![y-284]
But falls right back in to the water as he is shaken off by the huge shaking body of the beast.
Garth shouts at guy who is busy shoving the upturned wooden canoe in to the huge jaws of the monster quark –g-guy!come back!
Guy who watches the wooden canoe splintered between huge jaws of the quark- we can argue later, first we have to keep him distracted till the time the bomb explodes
Guy shoves the boat inside quark’s mouth to buy time for him to swim away to safety. [Y-285]
Garth- guy! Swim quickly!
Guy- why has the bomb inside the quark not gone off?
Just then there is a deafening explosion inside the huge body of the quark!
And in a minute quark turns back to the size of of a minute dirt particle dead microbe!
Guy- this worked like magic!
Garth – yes! And thanks to you for being a part of the magic trick! [Y-286]
Guy-- and a second quark bite the dust!
Garth-that animal would have devoured me had you not intervened!
Garth and guy return as a furious eid turns on ‘guy- off! You fool I am so angry with you!
At the same time I am so proud of you also!’[Y-287]

GARTH STORY [TIME CAURIERS]

POSTING CONTINUATION OF ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM HINDI GARTH STORY---काल डाकिया ---PAGE NO.14,15,16-


 
Page-14
The QUARK is in hot pursuit—
Eid- [running up the hill dragged by guy-]-Garth! Quickly use your dis integrator!
Garth- this thing only fires a bullet we have not yet made a dis integrator!
Guy- oh my god! This is too bad!
Eid- really quarks don’t have any weak spots!
Garth –OK. ‘Stop encouraging’ me and run![y-260]
Garth fire three times but the quark keeps on coming at them-
Garth- eid is right even if it has a weak spot it is probably near it’s’ tail’
Eid- there[panting] I  said he needs a dis integrator!
Guy- and I think it will be the last ‘foolish’ thing you would ever say!
Ed-you mean we are going to be killed?
Guy- yes , in my opinion there is little chance that we can escape this alive!it is of no use to be angry at you![y261]
Guy- garth is running but I don’t think he can beat the quark.
Guy- eid !you run away I am going to help out Garth!
Eid- you will leave me alone?
Guy- listen! If I get killed I will be killed like a man from this time period like Garth..you run![y-262]
Eid- don’t try to be a hero!
Guy- don’t argue just run!
Or else help me ,if we survive we will enjoy for whole life time!
May god help us eid!
Eid[thinking]- he is a completely changed man![y263]
Page-15
Guy- garth I could not leave you alone!
Garth – you did well, now help me up this rock!
Garth pulls up guy [hanging on to the rifle barrel] after he scrambles up the rock –‘come on up’
Guy- quark will be able to climb even up here!
Garth- I will not be surprised, bullets could not hold him let us see what this rock will be able to do?[y-264]
Eid watches helplessly from atop the cliff as Garth and guy put their backs against a huge rock in order to roll it down over the top of pursuing quark—‘what are they trying to do?’eid thinks- quark is about to reach them!
Guy[struggling with his back against the roc]-no! it is hopeless we will not be able to push this on the top of him!
Garth-pushing at the huge with his legs, back against the mountain side-push harder! I think we can roll it on to him![y-265]
Huge rock starts rolling off the cliff edge and falls right on the top of pursuing quark!
Eid watches amazed –‘they have worked a miracle’ [-266]
Garth- where is that demon creature!
Guy it is finished! We killed him!!
Guy- when quark is killed it reverts back in to it’s microbe form!
Garth- good so it does not leave any dirty remains behind!
Eid- guy you were marvelous!
Guy leave it , I do not relish excessive flattery!
Garth – we are in  for more trouble look![y-267]
Page-16
Eid- who are they?
Garth- they must be aboriginal tribesmen who ran away out of fear for the quark , and after knowing of his death they have come back!
Tribesman[addressing Garth and presenting a stone club]- you are divine , you have killed that strange terrible animal, i am chief “ut”
Eid- aha! His behavior  is friendly!
Eid- addressing ‘ut’-greetings to chief ut!i am the leader of these hunters!
Ut- eh?y268]
Eidd- now listen to me and obey!
Guy- eid do not try to order them!
Suddenly ut grabs eid’s hand roughly pushes her away- ‘go to the women folk , there will be talks between men!
Eid—garth guy tell them who I am!
Guy- sorry eid! Us men are talking amongst men only![y269]
Morning in the valley—
Garth- he says that most of the aboriginal tribes ran away scared of the quarks, there are six quarks all different from each other!
Guy- hum! And these quarks were seen a month before, so we have a month‘s time before they appear again!
Eid [amongst tribal women] - I will talk to my man!
‘no! ut will be angry and will beat you with his stick![y-270]
Ut hollers- women! Bring the food!
Guy[to eid when she hand him food]- thanks eid, did you spare something for yourself or not?
Eid-‘I hate you’
Garth [to ut]- our woman will stay with us ,she hold equal status with us ,by law!
Ut- ok! But you keep her with yourself and don’t let her talk; women’s talk gives me headache![y271]

Page-09
Garth returns from the laboratory-
“Forgive me; the sac cannot be destroyed so I have to believe that surely you people have come from future”
Eid- and we have powers beyond your imagination, power that could destroy you!
If you don’t obey my commands I will turn you to dust with this destroyer!—eid threatens Garth waving a tiny pen like devise.
Guy- eid please stop that, calm down and have a drink!
Garth- yes I am also tired of your antics!
Eid—keep back!
Be careful I will atomize you!
Garth suddenly garbs the devise from eid’s hand…
Guy-[grinning]--- you see eid his reactions are three times faster than us!
Eid [holding her bruised hand with left hand]—so what you  chattering monkey , do something to help me!
Garth- this destroyer looks like “lipstick” to me!
I am happy women have not changed much in the future!
Guy [pouring himself another drink]-friend! It is a women’s world now!... I mean from the time  from which we have come…
Garth [taking away the liquor bottle from guy’s hands]—and I think you have had enough to drink!
Guy and eid start fighting
A drunken guy accuses eid-“you tried to fool him, and yes you tried to threaten him, but both did not work!”
Eid[infuriated] – you have criticized me!
Guy- and yes the “romance” also did not succeed!
Garth intervenes- “best thing to do right now is to go to sleep and tell me of your difficulties in the morning!” a tearful eid stares at Garth saying nothing.
Page-10
Garth and guy are sitting at a breakfast table on the terrace of garth’s country house when eid make an appearance –
Garth-eid come eat something!
Guy –she should wait till we are finished! Are’t men superior here?
Garth pulls up guy- “you have to learn many things here come!”
Garth- before we sit we should make sure that eid is seated comfortably
Guy- this is strange last night you soaked her![y-244]
Garth spreads the maps on the table-“ guy has told me everything your people are going to survey this area periodically to pick you up .once they detect you they will make arrangements to whisk you back to the future  right?
Eid- yes it works like that!
Garth- so according to the map I will have to guide you that big island called the New Guinea.
Eid[impressed]-for a man you are quite competent![y-245]
Garth-I will have to arrange for your clothing’s and passports.
Eid –will you be able to make all the arrangements for this journey all by yourself singlehandedly? It would be better if you arrange for us to have a meeting with your leaders.
Garth-NO! If it is officially becomes known that you are from the future your whole remaining life will be spent on television shows! It is the torture method of 20th century!
Eid-uff![y246]
Garth goes to the village to buy clothes for them-
Garth-[helping guy with his suit and tie] will have to go to the city to make all the arrangements for the journey.
Eid – Garth how do you close this?[struggling with her blouse]
Garth- button it up like this [demonstrating how to button up the apparel]
Eid- this is a very good method!
Eid [now struggling with brazier –“this is even more difficult! please help me wear this!
Garth- uff! You will have to wear it by yourself only I will teach you how?[y-247]

Page-11
London- Garth prepares the two time couriers for the journey-[talking to a salesman at a supermarket]-“everything is to be delivered within 3 days “
“Yes sir”
Guy tells Garth excitedly- “a girl called me “sir!”
Garth – oh guy these are wonderful good times!”Soon I will meet my friend to arrange for the passports”
Eid- so many powers for men? [y248]
Journey to new guinea starts
On a  huge plane-“garth is this machine safe?,even our museums do not have such machines”
Garth- it is safer than crossing the street!
Guy-“Eid”- you really look feminine in women’s clothes of these times!
Edi-shall I kick you to prove myself a woman?
Garth- he meant women of our times![y249]
Three weeks after reaching new guinea
Eid- my shoulders hurt,I am tired.
Guy- garth and me will bear all the load,you take rest!
Edi-yes you take care of the load, hard work is not for women.
 Guy- remember women are not the rulers here!
Garth- we do all the hard work for them for this reason only!
Guy- but that  is what we do in our times too ,but we do it under compulsion, I guess men are losers any which way you look at it![y-250]
Guy- garth !how far are we now from retrieval zone?
Garth- just half a day journey from here, but I am not sure of the conditions on the way ahead, the map is not very clear.
Eid-we may have to stay in the pickup zone for several weeks ,may be they have already looked for us in the area .
Guy- is this the place ,it is so beautiful here we could make a temporary house  to live here for a few days.
Garth[In  thought]-there is a road on the slope up there , we are not alone , may besome others also live here![y251]
Page-12
Eid- looking in a small hand held mirror-“oh I look so ugly”
Guy- right you are!
Eid- why do you have to always agree with whatever I say, why can’t you say nice things like Garth does?
Guy- oh! There was a time that you would have eaten me alive if I dared praise you!
Garth is exploring in nearby caves-“this valley was inhabited till recently, maybe be some stone age race is still alive in new guinea![y-252]
Eid- you mean to say people even more ancient than you live here?
Guy- she is not being rude , that is how she always speaks!
Garth-Does not matter my friend! we will not face any danger from tribal’s if we behave in a friendly manner, make friends with the local tribes but we will have to communicate in sign language only!
Eid- we have international language pill take one and you will be able to communicate with any one!
Garth- marvelous! And we have been able to make instant coffee only[y-252]
Garth- “if we are required to stay here for a long time why don’t we occupy ourselves with some work?
Eid- I am afraid our food pills may have been exhausted.
Guy-I prefer fresh meat and vegetables which Garth brings us.
Garth – iwill provide you the food, and water is in the river but we have to be on our guard and keep watch 24 hours aday, tribal people may come back![y-254]
One hour before the sunset [in the cave where Garth eid, and guy have taken shelter]---
You will be on first watch eid this will make things easier for us.
Eid[startled]-i?..But I thought it was a male dominated era of time!
Garth –we are only three therefore you also will have to contribute, just keep awake ,and if you see anything wake me up!
Guy- o! I like this srange past era , here you can argue with any girl and watch the fun![y-255]
Page-13
Eid wakes up garth- g..garth!wake up!
Garth- what is it?
Eid- I am sorry this is all a mistake made by people of our times ,sees while exploring this region they have kept the time watcher for a prolonged time!
Garth- so what?
Eid-[silence]----so there is a QUARK outside![y-256]
Guy- you have seen a quark?
Oh! Then there will be many more of them!
Garth[dressing up]- what the hell is a quark?
Eid – it is actually  a microbe ,but if the time surveyor remains in an area for prolonged period it induces its rapid growth!...but they go on increasing in size and attain a huge size … and one of them is outside![y257]
Garth watching a huge monster from the entrance of the cave  - a microbe which was blown up a millionth times.no wonder the tribal ran away from this region.
Eid! Is this dangerous?
Eid[terrified]- don’t ask me  I am a visitor it is your bacterium!
A huge tonge like structure shoot out and catches hold of a bird in mid flight![y-258]
Can it see us?
Probably they are not only enlarged due to the effect of a time surveyor, but also undergo metamorphosis ....like a tadpole becomes a frog!
Eid- it is coming this way!
Garth- the cave is not safe, you escape with guy and I will protect you with this rifle!

CONCLUSION OF GARTH STORY "THE BRAIN"

POSTING CONCLUDING PAGES 21,22,23 OF[ TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH] HINDI GARTH STORY मस्तिष्क ....



Page21
Garth challenges vogal- “I have come here only on the condition that Electra will be freed”
Alzuth-vogal I  gave this promise to trick him in to coming here .
Vogal- and this fool believed you? Sardo see to it that the new race does not have this weakness!
Off to vaporization chamber with Electra!
Electra- you did this for me and were caught!
“not yet Electra Garth is eying a staircase running up to the top of the dome housing vogal,s brain![z-184]
Garth swiftly  bursts into action punching alzuth hard on chin with his left fist and gathering up sardo in  the crook of his left arm—“climb up that stairs electra,we are taking sardo along with us.
Sardo =fool! There is no escape now!
There is pandemonium in the senate hall-“master’s life is in danger!
Call the guards, stop that earth man!
On the top of the dome which has connections with vogal’s brain!
Sardo- you don’t stand a chance earth man!
Garth- least we could do is to try!sardo you are vogal’s bio-engineer, you must be knowing his secrets[z-185]
Vogal’s brain is immersed in to the nutrious fluid in this huge dome ---ok! So this liquid keeps his brain active! how is it controlled?
Sardo- if you cut it off with this valve vogal will die!
And the whole solar system comes to an end along with him!
Garth-says who? An eccentric scientist? Or a man whose brain is kept in tank? We shall see presently![z-185]
Vogal’s mind gradually becomes inactive deprived of its life sustaining nutritious fluid!
Vogal- help me help me! I am dying!
Alzuth- the master is falling!
Sardo- vogal will be dead in five minutes, I never really liked him he was always so serious and sullen, if only he had my “risor” element.
Garth-what is this risor element?
Sardo-risor is  laughter producing substance ,Electra has it a rare and powerful quality.
Garth- laughter! Can you use that on vogal?
Sardo- surely! we will have to put it in to the pipe containing liquid nourishing his brain.
Garth- then get it from your laboratory, we have now four minutes left.[z-186]
Page-22
Vogal is dying we shall be ruined!- senator are seen helplessly crying while alzuth fumes-that cruel earth man has stopped the flow of vital nourishing fluid to his brain, guards follow me!
In the meantime sardo returns to the dome-“Garth I have put risor in to the pipe leading to his brain.
Garth- right! So now I will open the valve!
Alzuth climbs up the ladder on the dome top-“Garth now you are under arrest”
Electra- garth! Alzuth has come up![z-188]
Garth lunges at him while alzuth strikes him with a nerve prod.
“garth now I have you under my power!”
Garth falls unconscious while Electra tries to revive him-garth! Oh garth!!
In vogal’s revived brain risor is also  at work along with the  brain nourishing liquid.
AAHHAA  AAHAA…Laughs vogal loudly .while senators watch him horrified!
“has he gone mad?,what is happening here?
“vogal has lost his mind and intellect!?”[z-189]
Vogal has found laughter!
“why are you all sitting there so glum pulling such long faces? LAUGH! LAUGH ALOUD!! This is my order!
And garth comes to his senses –
Alzuth- what is that sound?
Garth –vogal is laughing, he has perhaps learnt to laugh!
Vogal --bring Garth and that traitor sardo to me along with the woman![z190]
Page-23
Vogal confronts the tro- “sardo you did not obey me and tried to fool me!”
Sardo –[defiantly]-yes I did vogal!
·         Vogal- but there are other ways of seeking knowledge have learnt something here, let Electra go free, return Garth to earth!
·         Alzuth- but master what of your plan?
·         Vogal- I have changed it alzuth ,let the people of this planet build their own destinies they will somehow learn to live!—vogal is happy and full of laughter![z-191]
·         Electra bids farewell as Garth prepares to leave for earth in a space ship along with alzuth Electra pleads- “Garth! Take me too with you to the earth!”
·         Garth- not this time Electra you are needed here!
·         Alzuth- earthman you are needed here in Sagittarius why do you go that dirt heap earth?
