In an instant I was asleep.Chapter 5 opens:How long I slept upon the floor of the storeroom I do not know, but it must have been many hours. I was awakened with a start by cries of alarm......and laterI was refreshed from my sleep, but still weak from loss of blood.  My wounds were painful.  No medicinal aid seemed possible.  How I longed for the almost miraculous healing power of the strange salves and lotions of the green Martian women.  In an hour they would have had me as new.</blockquote>
