HOO.IA was drawing closer to us. Theie
was no wind. We could not, hope to
outpnddlc him. And, with our r-all gone, no
wind would help us, though, as If In tleilslon
at our plight, a steady breeze was now
blowing. But we bad no Intention of sit
ting idle Willie our fate overtook us. so we
bent to our paddles nnd. keeping parallel
with tho coast, did our best to. pull away
from our pursuers.
It was a gitiellng experience. We were
weakened bv lack of food We were suf
fering the pangs of thirst ("upturn and
death wete close nt hand. Yet 1 think that
we gave a good account of ouise'.ves In our
llnal effort to escape. Our boat was so
much smallei and lighter than nny of
ltooja's that the three of us forced It ahead
almost as rapidly as his laiger craft could
go under twenty paddles.
As we raced along the coast for one of
those seemingly Interminable periods that
may draw bonis Into eternities, where the
labor Is Miul-seai Itig and tliero is no way
to rueasuie time, I saw what I took for the
opening to a bay or the mouth of a great
river a short distance ahead of us. I wish
ed that we might make for It; but with the
menace of Ilooja cloo behind and the
set earning natives who raced along the
shore paiallel to us. I dare'd not attempt It.
We, were not far from shore In that mad
flight from death. Even as 1 paddled I
found opportunity to glance occasionally to
ward the natives. They were white, but
hideously painted From their gestures
and weapons 1 took them to be. a most
ferocious rate. I was rather glad that wo
had not succeeded in landing among them
HooJa's fleet bad been In much more
compact formation when we sighted them
this time than on tho occasion following tho
turn iiiiio nn ii " --. ...
tempesU'Novv they wero moving rapidly
In pursuit of us, all well within the radius
ttf ii mile
Five of them were leaning, an
abreast, and were scaice two minuet u
yatds from us When 1 glanced over my
shoulder I could seo that tho archers had
already fitted arrows to their bows In read
iness to lire upon us the moment that, they
should draw within range.
Hope was low In my breast. I could
not hee tho slightest chance of escaping
them, for they were overhauling us rapluty
now, 'since they wero able to work their
paddles In relays, while wo three were rap
Idly .wearying beneath the constant strain
that had been put upon us.
It wns then that Jung called my ntten
tlott to the rift In the shot e-llno .which I
had thought either a bay or tho mouth of a
great liver. There I saw moving slowly
out Into the sea that which Piled my soul
with wonder.

(ore nnd Drrnms
IT WAS a two-masted felucca with lateen
sails' The craft was long nnd low. In
It were mote than fifty men. twenty or
tb'lrtv of whom wero at oars -with which
tho craft was being propelled from the lee
of the land. I was diimfounded.
Could It be that tho savage, painted na
tives I bad seen on shore bad so perfected
tho'urt of navigation tr-t they wero mas
ters of such advanced bi'.idlng nnd rigging
as 'this craft proclaimed? It seemed Im
possible' And as I looked I saw nnotber
of the same type swing Into view and fol
low Its sister thtough the narrow sttalt out
Into tho ocean.
Nor weru these nil. One after another,
following closely upon one another's heels,
came llfty of tho tllm, graceful vessels.
They were cutting In between HooJa's fleet
nnd our little- dugout.
When they came u bit closer my eyes
fairly popped from bead nt what I saw, for
In the eye of the leading felucca stood a
man with n ea gliisi leveled upon us Who
could they be? Was there a civilization
within Pellucldar of suclt wondtous ad
vancement as this? .
AVere theie far-distant lands of which
none of my people had ever heattl, where
a race had so greatly outstripped all other
races of this Inner world?
The man with the glass had lowered
It and- was shouting to us. 1 could not
make out his words, but presently I haw
that he was pointing aloft. When I looked
I saw u pennant fluttering from the peak
of the forward latteu yard a ted, white
and blue pennant, with a single great white
star In a Held of blue.
Then I knew. My eyes went even wider
than they had before. It was the navy'
It was the navy .of the emplie of Pel
lucldar which I had Instructed Perry to
build In my absent e. It was my navy!
I diopped my paddle and stood up and
shouted and waved my band, .luag nnd
Dlan looked Bt me us If 1 hud gone suddenly
mad When I could stop shouting 1 told
theni, and they shared my Joy and shouted
with me. " ,
Hut still Ilooja wns coining nearer, nor
could the leading felucca overhaul him bo
fore he would be alongside or ut least with
in bow-shot.
Ilooja must have been as much mystified
as we were as to the Identity of the strange
fleet ", but when he saw me waving to them
be evidently guessed that they were friend.
lv to us, so he urged bis men to redouble
their efforts to reach us before the felucca
cut him oft.
Ho shouted word back to others of bis
fleet word that was passed back until t
had reached them all-rdlrectlng them to

leaching Dlan and me first, leaving the rest
of the work to his other boats. I thought
that them cu'ild bo llttlo doubt that he
would be Vdccessfiil In so far as wo wero
concerned, nnd I feared for the levcnge that
bo might take upon us should the battle
go against Ills force, as I was sure it would;
for I Knew that Perry and his Mc.ops must
have biottght with them nil the arms and
aminoiilMoit that bad been toutained in the
prospector. But 1 wns not prepaied for
what happened next
As HooJa's canoe reached a point some
twenty yatds from us a great puff of smoke
bloke flout the limv of the leading felucca,
followed almost simultaneously by ij ter
tlllc explosion, and a solid shot screamed
tioso over (lie beads of tho men in HooJa's
craft, talslng a great splas.h vvhete It clove
tho water Just be.vond them
Perry had perfected gunpowder nnd built
cannon! It was maivelous! Dlan and
Juag, us much surprised as Hooja, turned
wondetlng eyes tow'ard me. Again the can
non spoke 1 suppose that by comparison
with the great guns of modern naval ves
sels of the outer wot Id It was a pitifully
small and Inadequate thing; but bete In
Pellucldar, where It was tho first of Its
kind, It was nbout as awe-inspiring as any
thing you might imagine
With tho report all Iron cannon-ball about
five Inches In diameter struck HooJa's dug
out Just above, the water line, tore a great
splintering hole in Its tilde, turned It ovtcr
and dumped Its occupants Into tho sea
Tho four dugouts that had been nbreast
of Hooja had turned to Inteicept the lead
ing felucca Even now. In the faco of what
must have been a withering catastrophe
to them, they kept biavely on toward the
strange nnd terrible craft.
In them wero fully 200 men, while but
fifty lined the gunwale of the felucca to
tepel them. Tho commander of tho felucca,
who pioved to be Ja, let them coma quite
closo and then turned loose upon them a
volley of shots from small arms.
The cave men nnd Safcoths In tho dug
outs seemed to wither before that blsst
of death like dry grass before a prairie
lite Those who weio not hit dropped their
hows and Javelins nnd, seizing upon pad
dles, attempted to escape. But the felucca
pursued them relentlessly, her crew firing
at will.
At last I heard Ja shouting to the sur
vivals In tJiD dugouts they wero all quite
closo to us now offering them their lives
If they would silt lender. Perry was stand
ing close behind Ja. and I knew that this
meiclful action was prompted, pel Imps
commanded, by tho old man ; for no Pel
lucldarlan would have thought of showing
leniency to a defeated foe.
As there was no alternative save death,
tho survivors surrendered and a moment
later wete taken aboard the Amoz, the
name than could now see printed In large
letters upon tho felucca's bow, and which
no one In that whole world could read
except Pet ry and me.
'When tho pilsoners wero aboard Ja
brought tho felucca alongside, our dugout.
Muny weie the willing hands that reached
down to lift us to her decks The bronze
faces of the Mezops wero broad with smiles,
and Perry was fairly beside himself with
Jo)'-
Iiliin went aboard first and then Jung, ns
I wished to help Baja and Bailee aboard
myself, well knowing that It would fare
III with any Mutop who touched them. We
got them aboard ut lust, and a gieat com
motion they caused among the crew, who
had never seen a wild beast thus handled
by man befoie.
Perry and Dlan and I weio so full of
questions that wo fairly hurst, but we had
to contain ourselves for u while, since the
battle with the rest of HooJa's licet had
scarce commenced. Fiom tho small fotwatd
decks of the feluccas Petry's etude can
non weio belching smoke, llame, thunder
and death The air trembled to the toar
of them HooJa's horde, (ntiepid. savage
fighters that they were, were closing In
to grapple in a last deatlt struggle with
the Mezops who manned our vessels.
The handling of our fleet by the red
Island wtu riots of .la's clan was far from
perfect. 1 could see that Perry had lost
no time nfter the completion of the boats
in setting out upon this cruise. What little
the captains and crews hud learned of
handling feluccas they must have teamed
principally since they embarked upon this
voyage, nnd while eAperlence Ih an excel
lent teacher nnd had done much for them,
they still had a great deal to learn In
maneuvering for position they were con
tluually fouling ono nnotber, nnd on two
occasions shots Xrom our batterlescame
near to striking our own ships.
No sooner, however, was I ubourd the
flugshlp than I attempted to rectify this
rouble to some extent. By passing com-
manas ny worn in inuuiii irom one ship t0
another I trtnnaged to get the fifty feluccas
Into some sort of line, with the flagship
In the lead. In this formation we com
menced slowly to circle the position of the
enemy. The dugouts came for us right
along In an attempt to board us, but by
keeping on the move In one direction und
circling, we managed to nvold getting in
each other'svway, and were enabled to Are
our 'cannon and our small urms with less
danger to q.ur own comrades.
When I had a moment to look about me
I took In tha felucca on which I was. i
am fiee to confess that I marveled at the
excellent construction and stanch ye
speedy lines of the little craft. That Perry
had chosen this type of vessel seemed
r.ther remarkable, for though 1 had wanu
WnVrWlj"1 turrsted battleships, armor and.
z&w

magnificence, for It was always Ferry's
idea to ovetawe these Ignorant cave men
When We had to i-nnlem! will. Ilium In
battle. But I had soon learned that while
one rnlKlit easily astonish them with some
new eriBlne of war. It was an utter Im
possibility to frighten them Into surrender.,
I learned later that Ja had koiio care
fully over the plans of various craft with
Poiry. The old man had explained in
detail nil that the tet told him of them.
The two bad meiisuted out dimensions upon
the gioiind, that Ja might seo thu sizes of
ilUTel ent boats. Petiy had built models,
and Ja had had him read carefully and
explain all that they could find relative
to thu linudling of hailing vessels. Tho
lesult of all this was that Ja was tho one
who had chosen tho felucca. It was well
that Peiry bad bud so excellent a balance
whiel, for he had been wild to build a
huge filiate of the Xelsonlati eia be told
me ho himself.
One thing that had Inclined Ja particu
larly to tho felucca was tho fact that It
Included oars In Its equipment. He realized
the limitations of his people lu the matter
of sails, and while they had never used
o.ti. s. the Implement was so similar to a
patldlo that he was huio thev qulcklv could
master the tut and they did. As soon as
one hull was completed Ja kept It on the
water constantly, first with one crew and
then with nnotber, until 2000 led warriors
had leu neit to row. Then thev stepped
their masts and a crew was told oft for
the first ship.
While the others wero building they
learned to haudlo theirs. As each suc
cecding boat was launched Its crew took
It out and practiced with It under the
tutclago of those who had ginduated from
the first ship, and so on until a full com
plement of men had been trained for every
boat.
Well, to Ket back to the battle: The
lloojans kept on coming at us, nnd as fast
as they came we mowed them down. It
was llttlo elso than (daughter. .Time and
time ngaln I cried to them to surrender,
promising them their lives if they would
do so. At last theto were but ten boatloads
left. These turned In flight. . They thought.
nicy cuuiu pauuio nway it om us It was
pitiful I I passed the word from boat to
boat to cease firing not to kill another
Hoojan unless they fired on us. Then we
set out after them. Thoro was n nice little
breeze blowing, nnd wo bowled along after
our quarry us gracefully and as lightly ns
swaps .upon a park lagoon As we' np
ptoached them I could see not only wonder
but ndmiiatlon In their ecs. 1 hailed the
nearest dugout.
"Tbtow down our arms and come nboard
us," I cried, "and you shall not be harmed.
Wo will feed you nnd return you to the
mnlnland Then ou shall go free upon
your promise never to benr arms agalrfst
the Emperor of Pellucldar ngaln!"
I think It was the promise of food that
Interested them most. They could scarce
believe that wo would not kill them. But
when I exhibited the prisoners we already
had taken nnd showed thenvthat they were
alive and unharmed, n great Sagoth In
one of the boats asked mo what guarantee
I could give that I would keep .my word.
"None other than my word," I replied.
"That I do not break."
The Pellucldarlans themselves are rather
punctilious about this same matter, so the
Sagoth could understand that 1 might pos
sibly be speaking the truth. But he could
not understand why we should not kill
them unless we meant to enslave them
which I had as much as denied already
when 1 had promised to set them free
Ja couldn't exactly seo the wisdom of my
plan, either. He thought that we ought to
follow up the ten remaining dugouts and
sink them all; but I Inslsteti that we must
free ns many as possible of our enemies
upon the mainland.
