"It was there, on the right, from which the cry came!" In a few minutes they were not more than half a verst from the river. A second bark was heard, but, although more feeble, it was certainly nearer. Nadia stopped. "Yes!" said Michael. "It is Serko barking!... He has followed his master!" "Nicholas!" called the girl. Her cry was unanswered. Michael listened.
Buildings, spires, and bridges formed fantastic geometrical designs, at which Nadia exclaimed in delight. "I've just thought of what that reminds me of it's snowflakes!" "Sure I knew it was something familiar. Snowflakes no two are ever exactly alike, and yet every one is symmetrical and hexagonal. We're going to land on the public square see the crowds? Let's put on our suits and go out."
Michael, on his side, thought that if his mother was there, if Ogareff had brought her with him, it was to make her suffer with the sight of his own punishment, or perhaps some frightful death was reserved for her also. As to Nadia, she only asked herself how she could save them both, how come to the aid of son and mother.
On the way back across the foothills Stevens shot another hexaped, and upon the plateau above the river Nadia bagged several birds and small animals, but it was not until they were actually in their own little canyon that their rapid pace slackened and their vigilance relaxed. "After this, ace, we hunt together and we go back to wearing armor while we're hunting.
It was now an enormous full moon, almost five degrees in apparent diameter, its visible surface an expanse of what they knew to be billowing cloud, shining brilliantly white in the pale sunlight, broken only by a dark equatorial band. "Those rings were such a gorgeous spectacle a little while ago!" Nadia mourned. "It's a shame that Titan has to be right in their plane, isn't it?
Steve exclaimed involuntarily, and Nadia smiled as Barkovis answered with a thought, clearer than any spoken words. "It is a thought-exchanger. I do not know its fundamental mechanism, since we did not invent it and since I have had little time to study it.
To this was added the thought of his mother, of Nadia, the one a prisoner at Omsk; the other dragged on board the Irtych boats, and no doubt a captive, as Marfa Strogoff was. He could do nothing for them. Should he ever see them again? At this question, to which he dared not reply, his heart sank very low.
Of course, none of you will have anything worse than a stray bullet to fear, but the side walls of the Nadia would offer no protection against that." Van Lew nodded understandingly. "Call it settled," he said. "Shall I use my own judgment as to the proper moment to make the break, or will you pass us the word?" Lidgerwood took time to consider.
Stevens located the Titanian space-ship, and the two vessels once more hurtling together through the ether toward Titan, he turned to his companion. "Take the controls, will you, Nadia? Think I'll finish up the tube. I brought along a piece of platinum from the power plant, and something that I think is tantalum from Barkovis' description of it.
Incited by these words, the boatmen again worked manfully but it soon become evident that they could not escape the Tartars. It was scarcely probable that they would pass without attacking them. On the contrary, there was everything to be feared from robbers such as these. "Do not be afraid, Nadia," said Michael; "but be ready for anything." "I am ready," replied Nadia.
