CHAPTER XIV
Gore and Dreams

VI WAS a twomasted felucca with lateen
i sails, The craft was long and low In
n were more than fifty men, twenty or
thirty of whom were at oars with which
the craft was being propelled from the lee
of the land. l was dumfounded
Could it be that the savage, painted ma
t,yes I had seen on shore had so perfected

as this craft proclaimed? IT seemed I'M

They were cutting in between Hooja's fleet
and our little dugout
When they came bit closer my eyes
fairIv nopped from head at what ] saw, for
in tbs eve of the leading felucca stood a
van with n sea glass leveled upon us. Who
could they be? Was there civilization

CHAPTER NIII-Continued


TTOOJA was drawing closer TO us There
IL was no wind. We could not hope to
outpaddle him And, with our sail gone, no
wind would help us. though as II in derislon
at our plight. a steady breeze was now
blowing. But we had no intention OF SIT
ting idle while our fate overlook us. 50 we
bent to our paddles and. keeping parallel
with the coast. did our best to. pull away
from our pursuers.
1t was a grueing experience. We were
weakened by lack of food. We were sur
ferng the pangs of thirst. Capture and
death were close at hand. Yet think that
we gave good account of ourselves in our
final effort to escape. our boat was so
much smaller and lighter than any OF
Hooja's that the three of us forced II ahead
almost as rapidly as his larger craft could
go under twenty paddles.
As we raced along the coast for one OF
those seemingly intermnable periods that
may draw hours into eternities where the
labor is soul-searng and there is no way
to measure time. | saw what ! took tor 'he
opening to "A bay or the mouth OF great
river a short distance ahead of us. l wish
ed that we might make for it but with the
menace of iiooja close behind and the
screaming natives who raced along the
shore parallel to us. | dared not attempt IT,
We we're not far from shore in that mad
flight from death. Even as | padded
found opportunity to glance occasionally to-
ward the natives. They were white, but
hideously painted From their gestures
and weapons | took them to be most
feroclous race. I was rather glad that we
had not succeeded in landing among them
Hooia's fleet had been in much more
compact formation when we sighted them
this time than on the occasion following the
tempest Now they were moving rapidly
in pursuit of us. all well within the radius
OF a mile Five of them were leading, all
abreast and were scarce two hunderd
wards from us. When | glanced over my
shoulder | could that the archers had
already fitted arrows to their bows in read
mess to fire upon us the moment that they
should draw within range.
Hope was low in my breast. I could
not see the slightest chance of escaping
them for they were overhauling us rapidly
now since they were able to work their
paddles in relays. while we three were rap
dly swearying beneath the constant strain
that had been put upon us.
IL was then that Juag called my atten-
t;on tn the rift in the shore-ine which
had thought either a bay or the mouth OF
great river. There / saw moving slowly
ont into the sea that which filled my soul
with wonder.
