Remember the part where the talking beaver propelled the ship by taking a 
shit on the interior hull, which promptly burnt through it, and caused the

deck to depressurize?
The only good thing about Beyond the Fall of Night was that it contained 
the whole text of Against The Fall of Night, which had been out of print 
for quite a while by that time.
I really wish they would've reprinted the Lion of Commare and Against the 
Fall of Night, since the former story was far less well known than it 
should've been (thankfully it's now included in the Complete Stories of 
Arthur C. Clarke.)
