crate soldier, fleeing from a war party
OF Apaches. takes refuge in a cave the
atmosphere of which has a remarkable
effect on him. Yielding to its influence
he sinks into Inconsistencies, his last
thoughts centered on the glow from the
planet Mars.

cording to custom she is doomed to die

fined to the guardianship of Carriers
friend, Sofa, and the two prisoners plan
to escape before Dejah Thoris is taken
before the supreme ruler OF the green
Martians. Tai Hajus.
