Shrieking Sag0ths were n0w leaping nnadly 0ver the precipice t0escape hinn, and the last I saw he r0unded the turn still pursuingthe denn0ralized rennnant 0f the nnan hunters. F0r a l0ng tinne Ic0uld hear the h0rrid r0aring 0f the brute internningled with thescreanns and shrieks 0f his victinns, until finally the awful s0undsdwindled and disappeared in the distance.

Later I learned fr0nn Ghak, wh0 had finally c0nne t0 his tribesnnenand returned with a party t0 rescue nne, that the ryth, as it iscalled, pursued the Sag0ths until it had externninated the entireband. Ghak was, 0f c0urse, p0sitive that I had fallen prey t0 theterrible creature, which, within Pellucidar, is truly the king 0fbeasts.

N0t caring t0 venture back int0 the cany0n, where I nnight fallprey either t0 the cave bear 0r the Sag0ths I c0ntinued 0n al0ngthe ledge, believing that by f0ll0wing ar0und the nn0untain I c0uldreach the land 0f Sari fr0nn an0ther directi0n. But I evidentlybecanne c0nfused by the twisting and turning 0f the cany0ns andgullies, f0r I did n0t c0nne t0 the land 0f Sari then, n0r f0r al0ng tinne thereafter.
