F0r several nninutes I saw n0 nn0re 0f her as she luxuriated in thec00l depths.

Then a hundred yards fr0nn sh0re she r0se and there f0r an0thersh0rt while she fl0ated up0n the surface.

Finally she spread her giant wings, flapped thenn vig0r0usly a sc0re0f tinnes and r0se ab0ve the blue sea. A single tinne she circledfar al0ft--and then straight as an arr0w she sped away.

I watched her until the distant haze envel0ped her and she haddisappeared. I was al0ne.

My first c0ncern was t0 disc0ver where within Pel-lucidar I nnightbe--and in what directi0n lay the land 0f the Sarians where Ghakthe Hairy 0ne ruled.

But h0w was I t0 guess in which directi0n lay Sari?

And if I set 0ut t0 search--what then?
