His thoughts wandered from the road to Pyecrafts to the coast, and to the possible route of a raider. Suppose the enemy anticipated a declaration of war! Here he might come, and here.... He roused himself from these speculations to the business in hand. The evening seemed as light as day, a cool moonshine filled the world. The road was silver that flushed to pink at the approach of Mr.
It was night when he halted outside the palisaded village of the Arab raider. Perched in the branches of a great tree he gazed down upon the life within the enclosure. To this place had the spoor led him. His quarry must be within; but how was he to find him among so many huts? Tarzan, although cognizant of his mighty powers, realized also his limitations.
Sanborn; second officer, Mr. Partridge, and third officer, Mr. Richardson. "Very well, then," said Mr. Hamilton. "That is all." He turned again to the negro. "Tom," he said, "bring my bags and stow them in the cutter yonder. We will be taken prisoners aboard the raider." The negro did as commanded and again took his stand by Hamilton. "Mind, Tom," said Mr. Hamilton, "no weapons."
Two or three camels will readily carry the tent and luggage of a family. The women are carried in litters; the men ride camels. Horses are rarely ridden at such times. If a caravan is to be plundered, however, the best horses are used, and in addition to his lance the raider carries a heavy knife.
"I can't get over the fact that I risked my life to get on board, too." Jocelyn Thew, with a little word of excuse, had swung around and disappeared. Katharine looked at her companion curiously. "Do you believe that it really is the raider, Mr. Crawshay?" she enquired. He hesitated. In Jocelyn's absence his manner seemed to undergo some subtle change, his tone to become crisper and less querulous.
At first I thought that Germany would approach the resumption of ruthless submarine war via the armed merchantman issue. The case of the Yarrowdale prisoners seemed to bear out this theory. A German raider captured and sunk a number of enemy vessels and sent one of the captured boats, the Yarrowdale, with a prize crew to Swinemunde.
We were all wet, dirty, and dishevelled, and looked sorry objects. One of the passengers, a tall, stout man, was somewhat handicapped by his nether garments slipping down and finally getting in a ruck round his ankles when he was climbing up the ladder on to the raider. A German sailor, to ease his passage, went down the ladder and relieved him of them altogether.
"He was haltered in the corral." "Send Yaqui to find the hoss's trail, an' let's figger," said Ladd. "Shore this 's no raider job." In the swift search that ensued Gale did not have anything to say; but his mind was forming a conclusion.
It was bitter irony of fate that Belding should lose his favorite, the one horse more dear to him than all the others. Somewhere out on the trail a raider was fighting the iron-jawed savage Blanco Diablo. "I reckon we're some lucky," observed Jim Lash. "Lucky ain't enough word," replied Ladd. "You see, it was this way. Some of the raiders piled over the fence while the others worked on the gate.
He wondered, with a little gleam of his saving humor, what there was in his record since coming to Ascalon that gave them ground for the belief that it was necessary to burn a house to bring him out of it to face a fight. Morgan rode on a little way across the square, not twenty yards behind this raider, the sound of his horse silenced in the roar of fire and growing wind.
