I
leave
the
matter
to
your
discretion
.
"
Then
,
after
a
long
pause
,
he
added
:
"
The
king
of
the
ape-men
was
really
a
creature
of
great
distinction
--
a
most
remarkably
handsome
and
intelligent
personality
.
Did
it
not
strike
you
?
"
"
A
most
remarkable
creature
,
"
said
I.
And
the
Professor
,
much
eased
in
his
mind
,
settled
down
to
his
slumber
once
more
.
We
had
imagined
that
our
pursuers
,
the
ape-men
,
knew
nothing
of
our
brush-wood
hiding-place
,
but
we
were
soon
to
find
out
our
mistake
.
There
was
no
sound
in
the
woods
--
not
a
leaf
moved
upon
the
trees
,
and
all
was
peace
around
us
--
but
we
should
have
been
warned
by
our
first
experience
how
cunningly
and
how
patiently
these
creatures
can
watch
and
wait
until
their
chance
comes
.
Whatever
fate
may
be
mine
through
life
,
I
am
very
sure
that
I
shall
never
be
nearer
death
than
I
was
that
morning
.
But
I
will
tell
you
the
thing
in
its
due
order
.
We
all
awoke
exhausted
after
the
terrific
emotions
and
scanty
food
of
yesterday
.
Summerlee
was
still
so
weak
that
it
was
an
effort
for
him
to
stand
;
but
the
old
man
was
full
of
a
sort
of
surly
courage
which
would
never
admit
defeat
.
A
council
was
held
,
and
it
was
agreed
that
we
should
wait
quietly
for
an
hour
or
two
where
we
were
,
have
our
much-needed
breakfast
,
and
then
make
our
way
across
the
plateau
and
round
the
central
lake
to
the
caves
where
my
observations
had
shown
that
the
Indians
lived
.
We
relied
upon
the
fact
that
we
could
count
upon
the
good
word
of
those
whom
we
had
rescued
to
ensure
a
warm
welcome
from
their
fellows
.
Then
,
with
our
mission
accomplished
and
possessing
a
fuller
knowledge
of
the
secrets
of
Maple
White
Land
,
we
should
turn
our
whole
thoughts
to
the
vital
problem
of
our
escape
and
return
.
Even
Challenger
was
ready
to
admit
that
we
should
then
have
done
all
for
which
we
had
come
,
and
that
our
first
duty
from
that
time
onwards
was
to
carry
back
to
civilization
the
amazing
discoveries
we
had
made
.
We
were
able
now
to
take
a
more
leisurely
view
of
the
Indians
whom
we
had
rescued
.
They
were
small
men
,
wiry
,
active
,
and
well-built
,
with
lank
black
hair
tied
up
in
a
bunch
behind
their
heads
with
a
leathern
thong
,
and
leathern
also
were
their
loin-clothes
.
Their
faces
were
hairless
,
well
formed
,
and
good-humored
.
The
lobes
of
their
ears
,
hanging
ragged
and
bloody
,
showed
that
they
had
been
pierced
for
some
ornaments
which
their
captors
had
torn
out
.
Their
speech
,
though
unintelligible
to
us
,
was
fluent
among
themselves
,
and
as
they
pointed
to
each
other
and
uttered
the
word
"
Accala
"
many
times
over
,
we
gathered
that
this
was
the
name
of
the
nation
.
Occasionally
,
with
faces
which
were
convulsed
with
fear
and
hatred
,
they
shook
their
clenched
hands
at
the
woods
round
and
cried
:
"
Doda
!
Doda
!
"
which
was
surely
their
term
for
their
enemies
.
"
What
do
you
make
of
them
,
Challenger
?
"
asked
Lord
John
.
"
One
thing
is
very
clear
to
me
,
and
that
is
that
the
little
chap
with
the
front
of
his
head
shaved
is
a
chief
among
them
.
"
It
was
indeed
evident
that
this
man
stood
apart
from
the
others
,
and
that
they
never
ventured
to
address
him
without
every
sign
of
deep
respect
.
