So, without hesitation, he descended into the utter darkness below. Feeling with a foot before taking a forward step his descent was necessarily slow, but Gahan was a Barsoomian and so knew the pitfalls that might await the unwary in such dark, forbidden portions of a jeddak's palace.
Them island people is dying out for the want of being able to keep from going to sleep. You seen yourself the way it was. Them ones never would have been married at all only for your going to Inishrua and waking them up. It's thankful to you they ought to be." He appealed to Peter Gahan, who was crouching beside his engine under the fore-deck.
The screams and moans that frightened you and O-Tar were voiced by Turan to drive you away from his hiding place." Shamefacedly the three left the apartment to search for O-Tar's dagger. And now the others turned their attention once more to Gahan.
As he ate it occurred to him that by dragging the table along the floor he could bring the key within his reach, but when he essayed to do so, he found that the table had been securely bolted to the floor during the period of his unconsciousness. Again Gahan smiled and shrugged and resumed his eating.
As Gahan of Gathol turned his steps along the southern slopes of the hills that bound Bantoom upon the south and east, his attention was attracted toward a small cluster of trees a short distance to his right. The low sun was casting long shadows. It would soon be night.
Gahan, horrified, saw the latter's head topple from its body, saw the body stagger and fall to the ground. The man half rose from his concealment the better to view the happening in the valley below. The creature that had felled its companion was dashing madly in the direction of the hill upon which he was hidden, it dodged one of the workers that sought to seize it.
"There is no slave among them. We shall not have to fight against a single fellow-countryman and every life we take will be the life of an enemy." "It is well," replied Gahan; "but where is their Chief, and where the two Princesses?" "They are coming now, see?" and he pointed across the field to where two women could be seen approaching under guard.
* Those who have read John Carter's description of the Green Martians in A Princess of Mars will recall that these strange people could exist for considerable periods of time without food or water, and to a lesser degree is the same true of all Martians. After Tasor had gone Tara turned to Gahan and approaching laid a hand upon his arm.
And it was you, then, who moaned and screamed when the chiefs came the day that I stole Tara from you?" "It was you, then, old scoundrel?" demanded Gahan, moving threateningly toward I-Gos. "Come, come!" expostulated the old man; "it was I, but then I was your enemy. I would not do it now. Conditions have changed." "How have they changed? What has changed them?" asked Gahan.
Ghek led the way, grasping one of Tara's hands the more easily to guide and assist her, while Gahan of Gathol followed a few paces in their rear, his bared sword ready for the assault that all realized must come upon them now before ever they reached the enclosure and the flier. "Let Ghek drop behind to your side," said Tara, "and fight with you."
