Where they were now in relation to Wass' camp or that of the safari, Vye had no idea, and he guessed that Hume could not be too certain. Hume switched on the flitter's com unit, tried a channel search until he picked up a click of signal the automatic reply of the safari camp.
Some day you'll know why I do this," and Monty felt easier when his friend agreed to abide by his wishes. He discharged the "Flitter's" crew, with five months' pay and the reward promised on the night of Peggy's rescue, which was productive of touching emotions.
Everybody gasped, for it was the first time any of them ever had seen one of those wings near enough to know just what it was like. Flitter's arm was long, especially from his elbow to his hand. But the surprising thing was the length of his three fingers. Each finger appeared to be about as long as the whole arm.
"She did, lad, she did, God bless her," and a huskiness came into Mr. Flitter's voice as he spoke. "If she were alive now you would know as much as any boy of your age, for your mother was a smart one, and I guess you take after her, Dan. "I wish I had her now," and the boy gave a deep eigh. "She'd help me every night, and I wouldn't be stupid any more." Mr. Flitter made no reply to these words.

The "Flitter's" boats were in the water and manned by sturdy oarsmen before the glad cry went up that the robber fleet had been discovered. They were so near the yacht that it was evident the dusky tribesmen were poor oarsmen. In the clear light from the ship's deck they could be seen paddling wildly, their white robes fluttering as though inspired by fear.
But would any Police cruiser have the hardihood to follow him into the Big Burn? He hoped that the radiation would hold them back. There was no navigation to be done. The flitter's "memory" should deposit them at the Queen. Dane wondered at what his silent companion was now thinking.
