You might be very happy elsewhere and there a hundred thousand girls as beautiful and sweet as Virginia Maxon remember that you have never seen another, so you can scarcely judge." "Why did he ever bring me into the world?" exclaimed the young man suddenly. "It was wicked wicked terribly cruel and wicked."
It was the treasure alone which kept him to the search for Virginia Maxon, and he made it a point to direct the hunt always in the vicinity of the spot where it was buried, for a great fear consumed him that Ninaka might return and claim it before he had a chance to make away with it.
You have no soul, and the soul is all that raises man above the beasts. Jack, poor boy, you are not a human being you are not even a beast. The world, and Miss Maxon is of the world, will look upon you as a terrible creature to be shunned a horrible monstrosity far lower in the scale of creation than the lowest order of brutes.
Long-houses had become more and more infrequent until for some time now no sign of human habitation had been visible. The jungle undergrowth was scantier and the spaces between the boles of the forest trees more open. Virginia Maxon was almost frantic with despair as the utter helplessness of her position grew upon her.
"But the chest!" expostulated the other. "What in the world would he want of that enormous and heavy chest?" "He might have thought that it contained treasure," hazarded von Horn, in an innocent tone of voice. "Bosh, my dear man," replied Professor Maxon.

In another instant Bulan and the three bulls were rolling and tumbling about the ground, a mass of flying fur and blood from which rose fierce and angry roars and growls, while Virginia Maxon lay quietly upon the sward where her captor had dropped her.
"The pirates might but hold her for ransom, but should that soulless fiend possess her my prayer is that she found the strength and the means to take her own life before he had an opportunity to have his way with her." "Amen," agreed von Horn. Sing Lee said nothing, but in his heart he hoped that Virginia Maxon was not in the power of Rajah Muda Saffir.
There he met the Malay pirates, and together they formed an alliance under terms of which Number Thirteen is to have the girl, and the pirates the chest in return for transporting him and his crew to Borneo. Why it is all perfectly simple and logical, Professor Maxon; do you not see it now?" "You may be right, doctor," answered the old man. "But it is idle to conjecture.
Along the stretch of black river that the prahu and her consort covered that night Virginia Maxon saw no living thing other than a single figure in a small sampan which hugged the shadows of the shore as the two larger boats met and passed it, nor answered their hail. Where von Horn and his two Dyak guides had landed, Muda Saffir's force disembarked and plunged into the jungle.
