He doesn't figure on the other fellow's mind at all; doesn't realize that a man like Schwandorf is bound to outguess him on such straightaway tactics and isn't at all likely to play into his hands. But that's the exact situation. The German will outguess him, and it's up to him to outguess the German in turn. We'll do his guessing for him.
As Schwandorf yanked it back for another thrust McKay struck it away with one hand and, without drawing his own steel, jumped again at his assailant. An instant later the two blackbeards were clenched in a death grapple. Schwandorf found his long knife useless and dropped it. He strove for a back-breaking hold, but found it blocked.
He knew the Peruvians would be killed on sight and you with them." Black looks passed among the men as the duplicity of Schwandorf lay plain before their eyes. Tim growled. José hissed curses. The coronel whirled to him. "José! What was his object in trying to destroy you and your crew? You have been his man. You know much about him. He wanted to stop your mouth, yes? Dead men tell no tales."
Cleaned up quite a pot before the English got on to him, but had to get out of the country on the hot foot didn't have time to take his gold with him. His name wasn't Schwandorf over there, and he had no beard; he was thinner, too, and posed as a Russian; but he's the man. Must have made his get-away by the back door down the Branco to the Amazon. Now he's running Mayoruna girls into Peru.
Even this tribe of Monitaya, which never has been attacked by night raiders because it is too strong, has not been safe from these stealthy woman stealings by daylight. Three girls have been taken from here within the past two moons, and others have disappeared from other malocas." "Hm! And Schwandorf hasn't been here recently," said Knowlton. "No.
"You remember that the day after our return a canoe was sent downstream to a point where the wooden bars could be beaten and heard by Suba's men, and that a warning against the Red Bones and Schwandorf was given in that way. Yuara has become anxious to know more, so he is here." "If he sticks around he'll learn a lot," predicted Tim.
"Who ever follows good advice?" Knowlton countered. Schwandorf chuckled. "Niemand. Nobody. So you will go." He shook his head solemnly. "I have said all I can without offense. But if you persist I can only help you to start.
Schwandorf halted. His hands remained empty until the captain was within eight feet of him. Then he leaped back, his machete jumped into his fist, and its point stabbed for his antagonist's abdomen. An instantaneous side-step and twist of the body saved the captain from evisceration. The blade ripped through breeches and shirt and scraped the skin.
But both caught a glimpse of the leader's face and saw that he was the black-bearded man himself. "So you see, Capitao, why we have been near death. Suba and Monitaya both thought you were the man. We were lucky to escape alive from Suba, and still more lucky that hero were two men who knew the face of the blackbeard." "Schwandorf!" barked McKay. "Yes, Capitao, it must be the German "
"But why what's the idea of their stealing the girls? For victims? If so, how are the girls still alive?" "Do you not see, senhor?" Pedro broke in, impatiently. "Did not Umanuh ask if we would pay more than the other Blackbeard for the Raposa? What other Blackbeard?" "Schwandorf!" the Americans blurted, simultaneously. "Not so loud! Schwandorf, of course! Umanuh works with the German.
