Today comes Frau Nirlanger by me and she says: 'Frau Knapf, I wish to buy clothes, aber echt Amerikanische. Myself, I do not know what is modish, and I cannot go alone to buy." "That's a grand idea," said I, recalling the gray basque and the cannon-ball beads. "Ja, sure it is," agreed Frau Knapf.
"If so, he will go back alone," said the Vrouw Prinsloo. "He will not go back with us, for we will elect a field-cornet and shoot him the stinkcat, who left us to starve and afterwards tried to kill little Allan Quatermain, who saved our lives"; and the chorus behind her echoed: "Ja, ja, we will shoot him."
They listened attentively to my story, which included a narrative of the events leading to the formation of the federated kingdoms, the battle with the Mahars, my journey to the outer world, and my return to Pellucidar and search for Sari and my mate. Ja told me that the Mezops had heard something of the federation and had been much interested in it.
The ape-man rose and shook himself, even as might ja, the leopard-coated lion of Pal-ul-don, had he been the one to survive. O-dan advanced quickly toward Tarzan. Placing a palm upon his own breast and the other on Tarzan's, "Tarzan the Terrible," he said, "I ask no greater honor than your friendship."
"Ja!" repeated Charlie, quoting the Dutch "Yes" of the other; "are you a Dutchman?" "I am; at least I am a Cape colonist descended from Dutchmen. Why are you surprised?" "Because," replied his companion, while he prepared another steak over the embers, "you speak English so well that I could not have known it. How came you to learn the language so perfectly?"
"You walked?" The youth nodded. "I have seen you before, here." "Yes." The old man watched him a minute. "You ought to have some beer with that bread and cheese," he said. "Have you no coppers?" The youth shook his head. "Reinken is my beer," he said, after a little. His face was lighted with a sweet smile. The old man chuckled. "Ja, ja!" He limped from the room.
I gave them their freedom, and returned their weapons to them after they had sworn loyalty to me and friendship and peace with Ja, and I made the old fellow, who had had the good sense to surrender, king of Luana, for both the old chief and his only son had died in the battle.
It was evident his slow moving peasant's mind was grappling with the bloody fact of a hell-ship. It was something new in his experience. He was trying to fathom it. Why were he and his mates thumped, when they willingly did their work? What for? "Nils iss goot boy," he said to us. "So hard he vork, ja."

"Boks! are they?" said I, applying my spur and making a leap over an ant-bear hole. Rob Roy stretched his legs with a will, but a howl from Michael caused me to look round. He was trending off in another direction, and pointing violently towards something. He spoke nothing but Dutch. My acquaintance with that tongue was limited to the single word "Ja."
