Damon Knight - CABIN BOY

First we ran into the problem of Future Man meeting Ancient Man (i.e., us) in Van Vogt's story. Next we encountered Murray Leinster’s other-star race of humanoid people, enough like us to be able to communicate, after some rather extraordinary difficulties. And now we meet a totally, impossibly alien type of living and obviously thinking protoplasm, and find ourselves at a stand-off. For the most part we have, in this delightful tale, the opportunity of seeing the aliens from their own point of view. (Or, rather, their point of view as we understand it, through Damon Knight’s vivid interpretation. Maybe he has it all wrong—who knows?) Whether the point of view is accurate or not, no one can deny that the result, in this tale, is thoroughly delightful.
