Side by side we struggled against our enemies, tearing at them with our whole strength, yet always we were driven closer to the wall which would finally stop us. "Oh," she finally gasped, "I didn't want to die!" "No," I answered through set teeth as I hurled down an Orconite only to be confronted by two more; "but I'm afraid we must. Well, we've done away with Leider, anyway." "Yes," she choked.
There was something about his nervous organism that could not stand these sounds! "LeConte," I shouted, "close your key again!" After that the battle was won. By the time I had explained to LeConte why I had given him the order, and he had filled the cabin two or three times with the screech, the Orconite was ready to speak. He trembled in his seat.
But it was good to look at the mountains, because the fact that we were going there meant that at least we should be acting instead of idling. No Orconite was visible anywhere. With the coming of daylight the greenish daylight of Orcon the sea behind us had calmed until its surface was disturbed only by gigantic lazy bubbles which broke with muffled, thudding explosions.
The moment I told the others to come with me, and we all started to walk toward the ship, the whole encircling force of Orconites began to move silently forward. When we were within a few yards of the ship's ladder, a tall lithely built Orconite who seemed to be captain of the guard, flopped his wings, shot across the cavern, and dropped down before us.
By this time every Orconite in the heavy guard was on the spot, and the whole mass was all over us, gasping, burbling, flapping their wings, fighting to clutch at us with their hideous orange hands and waving antennae. Decidedly the fight was on, and I was forced to admit the fact that, though these creatures might be sheep, even sheep have power.
"What a creature!" Virginia Crane cried as I presented her and Koto with my struggling but helpless prize. That was just what I had thought after my first glimpse of the whole brood of them. Close inspection showed, as I had supposed, that the Orconite was a man, and yet not a man.
