Hogarth Hughes ruins the transmitter

The professor and Hogarth Hughes went to the capsule. Hogarth said "What are we looking for?" The professor said "The radio!" The professor then said "Now, Hogarth, I want you aside, and don't touch anything." But Hogarth touched something anyway. He ignored the professor. The professor said "Hogarth, I asked you not to touch anything, didn't I?" Hogarth said "Oh yeah!" Hogarth then let go of the object. When Hogarth let go of the object, it blew up and caught on fire. Hogarth said to himself "When I touched the object, it must have blown up!" The professor said "Now you ruined the whole transmitter! The radio is dead!" Hogarth said "Oh yeah? Well, you know what? So are we!" The Martians then fixed the radio. By the time Hogarth and the others could leave the island, the capsule was already gone. Hogarth and his friends were stuck on the island.
