The Ship That Sailed the Time Stream

The Ship That Sailed the Time Stream

G. C. Edmondson

This novel originally appeared in Ace Double M-109 (1965).

The special research vessel ALICE was the oddest ship that ever flew the ensign of the U.S. Navy: small, wooden-hulled and sail-powered, she would have been less out of place in the Navy of a hundred years ago - if it weren't for the electrician's nightmare of a christmas tree hanging from her main boom.

The purpose of the 'christmas tree' was to detect enemy submarines. it wasn't very good at that, but when lightning struck it proved itself highly efficient at... something else.

For when the smoke cleared, there off the port bow was a long-ship. Full of Vikings. VIKINGS THROWING THINGS!

The USS ALICE had become the Ship That Sailed the Time Stream!

First, after a freak electrical storm at sea the *Alice* had somehow been thrown a thousand years back in time, and it looked as if they were stranded in the past. They had provisions for two weeks at most. Then there was the voluptuous barbarian girl they'd saved from captivity--her presense on board a ship full of normal sailors wasn't likely to lessen the problems of the situation.

Then he saw the four Viking raiding ships bearing straight for him, and in a few minutes the first spear thunked into the *Alice*'s foredeck...
