In 1935 Fermi wrote the equation for the slowing down of neutrons by hydrogen...

As in The Harbourmaster and The Beachcomber, Derelicts is the story of Mr. Spenlove telling a story. The listener is again a rich American woman passenger (this time on a luxury cruise to the West Indies), whose incredible patience really entitles her to be called the story's heroine...
