Sherwood was a man who did not want to be found. He secretly left the last space station. Now he was marooned on a remote planet with a spaceship that was going nowhere and surrounded by diamonds. Half of him wanted to remain safely castaway until he died. The other half longed for a miraculous rescue. Could that miracle be the black, unmarked craft that was gliding toward him? The Shipshape Miracle, a Science Fiction Classic, was written by Clifford D. Simak and first appeared in the Worlds of If Science Fiction magazine in January 1963
