E DARED not turn back Into tho teeth
tho bears which we could hear grunt
ing behind us. To meet them hi this be
wildering fog would have been to court
Instant death
Perry was almost overcome by the hope
lessness ot our situation. Ho flopped down
on his knees and began to pray.
it was the first time I had heard him at
his old habit slnco my return to Pellucldar,
and I had thought that ho had given up his
llttlo Idiosyncrasy; but ho hadn't. Far
from It.
I let him pray for a short time undis
turbed, nnd then ns I was nbout to suggett
that we had beqter bo pushing along one
of tho bears In our rear let out a roar that
mado tho earth fairly tremble beneath our
feet..
It 'brought Perry to his feet as If ho had
been stung by a wasp, and sent him racing
ahead t'htough tho blinding fog at a gait
that I knew must soon end In dtsaster were
it not checked.
Crevasses In the glacier Ice wero far too
frequent to permit of reckless f-pced ovon
In a clear atmosphere, and thon there wero
hideous precipices along tho edges of which
our way often led us. I shivered as I
thought of tho poor old fellow's peril.
At tho top of my lungs I called to him
to slop, but ho did not answer me. And
then I huirled on in tho direction he had
gof?e, faster by far than safety dictated.
For .1 while I thought I heard him ahead
of me, but nt last, though I paused often
to listen and to call to him, I heard nothing
more, not even tho grunting of tho bears
that had been behind us. All was deathly
silence tho sllenco of tho tomb. About mo
lay tho thick, Impenetrable fog.
I was alone. Perry was gone gone for
ever, I had not tho slightest doubt.
Somewhere nearby lay tho mouth of a
treacherous fissure, and far down at Jts
Icy bottom lay all that was mortal of my
old friend, Abner Peiry. Thcie would his
l)od llo picserwd In its Icy sopulcher for
countless ages until on somo far-distant
day the slow-moving rler of Ico bad wound
Its snall-llUe way down to tho Warmer level,
there to disgorge Its grisly evldenco of grim
tiagedy, and what in that far futuio ago
might mean ballllng mjfctery.
CHAPTKR HI
ShontliiK llio Chutes and After
THROUGH tho fog I felt my way along
by means of my compass. I no longer
heard tho bears, nor did 1 encounter ono
within tho fog
Expei lenco has slnco taught me that these
great beasts aro ns torror-strlckon by this
phenomenon ns a landsman by a fog at sea,
nnd that no sooner docs a fog envelop them
than they make tho best of their wiiy to
lower levels and n clear ntmosphere, It was
well for mo that this was true.
I fdlt very sad and lonely as I crawled
along the dilllcult footing. My own predica
ment weighed less heavily upon 1110 than the
loss of Perry, for I loved the old fellow.
That I should ever win the opposite
Mopes of tho range I began to doubt, for
though 1 am naturally sanguine I Imagine
that the beieavement which had befallen
1110 had cast such a gloom over my spirits
that 1 could seo no slightest ray of hope
for the future.
Then, too, tho blighting, gray oblivion of
the cold, damp clouds through which I
wandered wns depressing. Hope thrives
best In sunlight, nnd I am suro that It dops
not thrive at all In a fog.
But tho Instinct of self-preservation Is
stronger than hope. It thrives, fortunately,
upon nothing. It takes root upon tho brink
of tho grave, and blossoms in tho Jaws of
death. Now it nourished bravely upon the
breast of dead hope, and urged mo onward
nnd upward In a stern endeavor to justify
Its existence.
As I advanced tho fog became denser. I
could seo nothlnr beyond my nose. Even
the snow anil Ice I trod were Invisible.
I could not see below tho breast of my
bearskin coat. I Becmed to bo floating In
a sea of vapor.
To go forward over a dangerous glacier
under such conditions wns little short of
madness; but I could not havo stopped
going had I known positively that death
lay two paces before my noso. In the first
place, It was too cold to stop, and In tho sec
ond, I shquld havo gone mad but for the
cxcltemont of tho perils that beset each for
ward step.'
For some time the ground had been
rougher nnd steeper, until I had been forced
to scalo a considerable height that had car
ried me from tho glncler entirely. I was
sure from my compass that I was following
tho right general direction, and so I kept on.
Once more the ground, was level. From
tho wind, that blow nbout me I guessed t(iat
I must be upon some exposed peak or ridge.
And then quite suddenly I stepped out
Into spaco. Wildly I turned and clutched
at tho ground that had slipped from be
neath my feet.
Only a smooth. Icy surface was there.
I found nothing to clutch or stay my fall,
and a moment later so greatas my speed
that nothing could have stayed me.
As suddenly as I bad pitched Into space,
with equal suddenness did I emerge from
the fog. out of which I phot like a projectile
from a cannon inio ciear. aayngni. y
8waa so mtmi.mwi A couia see
of smooth nnd frozen snow, that rushed past
mo with express-araln velocity.
I must have slid downward thousands ot
feet before the steep lncllno curved gently
on to a broad, smooth, snow-covered pla
teau. Across this I hurtled with slowlv
diminishing velocity, until nt last objects
about me began to tako definite shapo.
Far ahead, miles and miles away. I saw
a great valley and mighty woods, nnd
beyond these a broad expanse of water.
In the nearer foreground I discerned a
small, dark blob of color upon tho shimmer,
ing whiteness of the snow.
"A 'bear." thought I, nnd thanked the
Instinct that had Impelled me to cling tena
ciously to my riue miring the moments of
my awful tumble.
At the rate I was going It 'would be but
a moment before I should be quite abreast
tho thing; nor was it long before I came
to .1 sudden stop In soft snow, upon which
1110 sun was sinning, not twenty paces from
mo ouject or my most Immediate apprehen
slon.
It was standing upon Its hind legs wait
ing for me. As I scrambled to my feet to
meft it I dropped my gun In the snow and
aouDiea up with laughtor,
It was Perry.
Tho expression upon his face, combined
wnn mo rcncr 1 reit nt seeing him again
safe nnd sound, was too much for my over
wrought nerves.
"David!" ho cried. "David, my boy! God
has been good to an old man? Ho has an
swered my prayer."
It seems that Perry In his mad flight
had plunged over tho brink at about the
same point as that nt which I had stepped
over it a short tlmo later. Chance had done
for us what long periods of rational labor
had failed to accomplish.
Wo had crossed the divide. We were upon
tho side of tho Mountains of the Clouds
that we bad for so long been attempting to
reach
We looked nbout. Below us were green
tiees and warm Jungles. In the distance
was a great sea.
"The I.ural Az," I said, pointing toward
Its blue-green surface.
Somehow tho gods alone can explain It
Perry, too, had clung to his rifle during
his mad descent of the Icy slope. For that
there was cause for great rejoicing.
Neither of uh was worse for his experi
ence, so after shaking the snow from our
clothing, wo set off at a great rate down
toward the warmth and comfort of the
forest and the junglo.
Tho going was easy by comparison with
the awful obstacles we had had to en
counter upon tho opposite. sldo of the divide.
There wero beasts, of course, but we came
through safely
Beforo we halted to eat or rest we stood
beside a llttlo mountain brook beneath tho
wondrous trees of the primeval forest In an
atmospheie of wqrmth and comfort It re
minded me of an early Juno day In the
Maine woods.
We fell to work with our short nxes nnd
cut enough small trees to build a rude pro
tcction from the fiercer beasts. Then we lay
down to sleep,
How long I slept I do not know Ferry
says that Inasmuch as there Is no means of
measuring time within Pellucldar there can
be no such thing as tlmo here and that we
may havo slept an outer earthly year, or
wo may have slept hut a second.
But this I know Wo had stuck th ends
of some ot the saplings Into tho ground In
the building of our shelter, first stripping
tho leaves and branches from them, and
when wo awoke wo found tjiat many of
them had thrust forth sprouts,
Personally, I think that wo slept at least
a month ; but who may say? The, sun
marked midday when wo closed our eyes; It
was still In the snpie position when we
opened them ; nor had it varied a hair's
breadth In the Interim.
It is most baffling, this question of elapsed
tlmo within Pellucldar
Anyhow, I was famished when we awoke.
1 think that It was the pangs of hunger
that awoko me. Ptarmigan and wild boar
fell beforo my revolver within a dozen
moments of my awakening. Perry soon
had a roaring fire blazing by tho brink of
tho little stream.
It was a good and delicious meal we
made. Though we did not eat the entire
bonr ue mado a very large hole In him,
while the ptarmigan was but a mouthful,
Having satisfied our hunger, we deter
mined to set forth nt once In Bearch of
Anoroc and my old friend. Ja tho Mezop.
We each thought that by following the little
stream downward wo should come upon the
large river which Ja had told me emptied
into the Lural As opposite his Island,
We did so; nor were we disappointed,
for at last after a pleasant Journey and
what Journey would not be pleasant after
the hardships 'we had endured among the
peaks of the Mountains of the Clouds? we
came upon a broad flood In the direction of
the great sea we had seen from the snowy
slopes of the mountains.
For. three long marches we followed the
left bank of the growing river until at last
we saw It roll Its mighty volume Into the
vast waters of the sea. Far out across the
rippling ocean wo descried three Islands.
The one to the left must, be Anoroc,
At last we had come close to a solution
of our problem the road to Sarl.i
But hoi to reach the Islands was now the
foremoet question in our minds, We must
.falllM.lt M,, . i v. ' : r'
an axiom which carries the thought-kernel
that what man has done man can do, and It
doesn't cut any figure with Perry whether
a fellow knows how to do It or not.
He set out to mnko gunpowder once
shortly after our escape from Phutra and
at the beginning ot the confederation of the
wild tribes of rellucldar. lie said that
somo one, without nny knowledge of the
fact that such a thing might be concocted,
had once stumbled upon It by accident, and
so he couldn't seo why a fellow who knew
nil nbout powder except how to mnko It
couldn't do na well.
He worked mighty hard mixing all sorts
of things together, until finally he evolved
a substance that looked llko powder. Ho
had been very proud of the stuff, nnd hnd
gone about the village of tho Sarlans ex
hibiting It to every one who would listen
to him. and explaining what Its purpose was
nnd what terrific havoc It would work, until
finally tho nntUcs became so terrified at the
stuff that they wouldn't como within a rod
of Perry and his Invention.
Finally I suggested that we experiment
with It nnd see what It would do, so Perry
built a fire, after placing the powder nt a
mf rtlsinnce. nnd then touched a glowing
ember to a minute particle of the dendly
explosive, it rxiinKuuncu ; .""". ,
Repeated experiments with It determined
mo that In senrchlng for a high explosive
Perry had stumbled upon a flre-extlngulsher
that would have made bis fortune lor him
bark In our own world
So now ho srt himself to work to build
a scientific canoe. 1 bad suggested that wo
construct a dugout but Perry convinced
me that we must build something more n
keeping with our positions of supermen In
this world of thn Stone Age
"We muft Impress these natives with
our superiority" be explained "You must
not forget. Pavid that you are emperor of
Pellueidar As such you may not with dig
nity approach the shores of a foreign power
In so crude a vessel ns a dugout.
I pointed out to Peiry that It wasn't
much more incongruous for the emperor
to cruise In a ennno than It wns for the
prime minister to attempt to build ono with
his own hands .....
Ho had to smile nt that; but In cxtenu
iir.r, nf bis act he assured me that It was
quite customary for prime ministers to give
thlr personal attention to thn building of
Imperlnl navies; "nnd this." be said, "Is tho
imperial navy of his Serene Highness,
David t Emperor of the Federated King
doms of Pellucidnr "
I grinned; but Perry was qultn serious
about It It had always seemed rather
moro or less or a joko 10 me mai 1 annum
be addressed ns majesty and all the rest
of tt Yet my Imperial power and dig
nity hnd been a very real thing during my
brief reign. ...
Twenty tribes had Joined the federation,
nnd their chiefs had sworn eternal fealty
to one nnother nnd to me. Among them
were many powerful .though savage na
tions Their chiefs wo had mado kings;
tholr tribal lands kingdoms.
We had armed them with bows and ar
rows and swords, in addition to their own
more primitive weapons. 1 nau irainea
them In military discipline and In so much
of tho art of war as I hnd gleaned from
extensive reading of the campaigns of Na
poleon, Von Moltle, Grant and tho ancients.
Wo had marked out as best wo could'
natural boundaries dividing tho various
kingdoms Wo had warned tribes beyond
these boundaries that they must not tres
pass, and wo had marched against and
hewrely punished those who had.
Wo had met nnd defeated the Mahars
and tho Sagoths. In short, wo had demon
strated our rights to empire, and very
rapidly were wo being recognized nnd hor
alded abroad when my departure for the
outer world and Ilooja's treachery had set
us back.
But now I had returned. The work that
fato had undone must bo done again, and
though I must need smile at my Imperial
honors, I none tho less felt the weight of
duty and obligation that rested upon my
shoulders.
Slowlv tho Imperial navy progressed
toward completion. Sho was a wondrous
craft, but 1 had my doubts about her. When
I voiced them to Perry ho reminded me
gently that my people for many generations
Jiad been mlno-owners, not smpimiiuers, ana
consequently I couldn't be expected to
know much about tho matter.
I was minded to Inquire Into his heredi
tary fitness to design battleships ; but In
asmuch as I already knew that his father
had been a minister in a backwoods vll-
lago far from tho coast, I hesitated lest I
offend tho dear old fellow.
He was Immensely serious about his
work, and I must admit that In so far as
annearances went he did extremely well
with tho meager tools and assistance at his
command. Wo had only two short nxes
and our hunting-knives; yet with these we
hewed trees, split them Into planks, sur
faced and fitted them.
Tho "navy" was some forty feet In
length by ten feet beam. Her hides were
quite straight and fully ten feet high "for
tho purpose," explained Perry, "of adding
dignity to her appearance and rendering It
less easy for an enemy to board her"
As a matter of fact, I knew that be had
had In mind tho snfety of her crew under
Javelln-flre tho lofty sides made an nd
mlrable shelter. Insldo sho reminded me
of nothing so much ns a floating trench.
There wns also somo slight analogy to a
hugo collln.
Her prow sloped sharply backward from
tho water line quite like a lino of battle
ship. Perry had designed her more for her
moral effect upon an enemy. I think, than
for any real harm sho might Inflict, nnd
so those parts which were to show were the
most Imposing.
Neither of us knew much about sailing
a full-rigged ship; but that didn't worry
mo a great deal, for I was confident that
wo should never be called upon to do so,
nnd as tho day of launching approached I
wns positive of It
We had built her upon a low bank of the
river close to where It emptied Into the sea,
and Just above high tide. Her keel we had
laid upon several rollers cut from small
tiees, tho ends of the rollers In turn resting
upon parallel tracks of long saplings. Her
stern was toward the water.
A few hours before wo were ready to
launch her sho mado quite an Imposing pie
ture. for Perry had Insisted upon setting
every shred of "canvas" I told him that I
didn't know much about It. but I was sure
that at launching tho hull only should have
