This just posted to Project Gutenberg. This is what became "Scavengers in Space" when it was published in book form.

Greg Weeks is too modest. He has been working hard at shepherding the Amazing Stories files through Distributed Proofreaders (scanning them, OCRing them, overseeing the proofreading, preparing them for publication). From DP they go to Project Gutenberg and thence out to Manybooks and other sites that never give DP, and folks like Greg, any credit. Hip hip huzzah for Greg!

"Scavengers in Space" was one of my favorite Nourse books growing up. It'll be interesting to see where it came from!
