“the man i killed” begins with a list of physical attributes and possible characteristics of the man whom o’brien killed with a grenade in my khe. o’brien describes the wounds that he inflicted. the man’s jaw was in his throat, he says, and his upper lip and teeth were missing. one eye was shut, and the other looked like a star - shaped hole. o’brien imagines that the man he killed was born in
for friendship, tavia ,
i replied ;
for the best friend that a man ever had .
the man stitches up his leg and they press on. the man grows weaker, his cough worsening and becoming even bloodier than before. the man' s dreams soften and he knows he' s going to die. they make camp and the man tells the boy not to cover him because he wants to see the sky. the boy brings his father water, and the man sees a light surrounding the boy. the man tells the boy to go on, to leave him, but the boy refuses. eventually, the man dies. the boy stays with his father' s body for three days, then a man with a shotgun finds him. the man invites the boy to come along with them. the man says that he' s one of the good guys and that he' s carrying the fire, too. he also says that they' ve got a little boy with them and a little girl, too. eventually, the boy decides to go, but not before he says goodbye to his father. the boy leaves his father covered in a blanket .
heigh - oo! then you hate him, too ,
exclaimed the old man .

while the boy sleeps, the man reflects upon one of his dreams of a creature with dead eyes. the man' s dreams play a large role throughout the novel; the man tells both himself and the boy that good dreams are to be feared because they indicate a form of acceptance, and that death would inevitably be near. bad dreams, on the other hand, are reassuring because they demonstrate that the man and boy are still persevering in the world they inhabit .
we are in your hands, phao ,
said nur an .
if there is to be fighting, though, i should like to accompany hadron .
they walk through another barren town, and the man gets shot in the leg by an arrow. he shoots a flare through the window from which the arrow came and hits the man who shot him. it' s unclear whether he kills the man, but when the boy asks, his father tells him that the arrow shooter lived .
he returns to town to find the thief and the woman who was with the man with the bow .
another guest to share the hospitality of tjanath ,
said a voice that came from the blurred figure beside me. it was a clear voice—the voice of a man—and there was a quality to its timbre that i liked .
the man' s interest in her story, which had seemed wholly perfunctory, seemed suddenly altered and galvanized .
a slave dispatched into the palace returned with stimulants, and when some of these had been forced between his lips, the man revived slightly .
from the shore, the man and boy see a boat in the water. the man swam to the boat and explores it, finding supplies, including some food, a first - aid kit, and a flare gun. he and the boy make their camp close to the beach, plundering the ship each day to see what else they can find. the man' s cough worsens and then the boy gets sick, too. the man believes the boy will die and he is terrified and enraged. the boy, though, recovers .
the man, too, is all the boy has. when the boy wakes, they set out on the road yet again, making their way through a
nuclear winter
that follows them from start to finish as they make their way south to the coast, hoping to find a better life there, although the man knows there' s no reason for him to hope that things will be different for them there. they have a grocery cart with them, filled with their belongings and supplies for their journey. they are running low on food, and the man is fighting a bad cough, one that sprays blood on the gray snow .
such creatures we have to put up with in times of peace, but when war comes and the great warlord takes command it is the fighting men who rank and riches do not count .
from the start, it' s clear that the boy is all the man worries about. he is all the man has, and the man believes that he' s been entrusted by god to protect the boy. he keeps a pistol with him at all times, unless he goes inside a house. then he gives the pistol to the boy. the pistol, though, only has two bullets .
never before had i seen a woman fight and i should have thought that i should have been chagrined to have one fighting at my side, but instead i felt a strange thrill that was partly pride and partly something else that i could not analyze .
the boy asks his father about the sea. he wants to know if it' s blue. the man says it used to be. the man has a fever, which causes the two to camp in the woods for over four days. the boy is afraid his father is going to die, and the man' s dreams turn to dead relatives and better times in his life. the boy' s dreams continue to be bad, and the man encourages him, saying that his bad dreams mean he hasn' t given up. the man says he won' t let his son give up .
she looked tired and that worried me, but i think she was suffering more from the nervous strain of the eternal stalking than from physical fatigue. i know that it affected me and how much more might it affect a young girl than a trained fighting man. she lay very close to me, as though she felt safer thus and was soon asleep, while i watched .
heigh - oo !
cackled the old man in a high falsetto .
who cometh from the high heavens who knows old phor tak ?
confine the woman in the east tower ,
he said ,
and send the man to the pits .
the man and boy decide to leave their camp on the beach, and they pare down their food stores so that the cart is more manageable. they hike up and down the shore, and when they return to their camp they see that all of their belongings have been stolen. they take off after the thief and find him. the man makes the thief take off all of his clothes, leaving him there for dead, which is what the man tells the boy the thief did to them. the boy begs his father not to hurt the man, and when they leave the boy cries and convinces his father to take the man' s clothes back to him. they can' t find the man, but leave his clothes in the road. the boy tell the man that they' re responsible for that other man, that they killed him, and it makes the boy question their role as the good guys. he says they should be helping people .
in one grocery store, the man finds a pop machine that has a single coca - cola in it. he retrieves it for the boy and lets him drink it. the man likes to offer whatever he can to his son to make his world a bit more pleasant and to give him glimpses into the world that existed before him .
by the time they come upon a once grand house, the boy and man are starving. there are suspicious items in the house, such as piles of blankets and clothes and shoes and a bell attached to a string, but the man these. he finds a door in the floor of a pantry, and breaks the lock. the boy becomes frightened and repeatedly asks if they can leave. in the basement, the man and boy find naked people who are being kept alive for others to eat. the man and boy flee just as the roadagents return. they hide in the woods through the freezing night, the man feeling certain that this is the day when he' s going to have to kill his son. but they survive the night and go undiscovered .
we were to have little time, however, for sentimental regrets, for almost immediately a head appeared through a small opening in the roof upon which we stood. the head was followed by the body of a man, whose harness was so scant as to leave him almost nude. he was an old man with a finely shaped head, covered with scant, gray locks .
man has but one life ,
i replied ;
if he is permitted to give it in a good cause, he should not complain .
as they walk, they keep track of their location on a worn and tattered map that they must piece together like a puzzle each time they use it. while on the road, they come upon a man who' s been struck by lightning. they pass the burnt man and the boy wants to help him, but his father says they' ve got nothing to give him. the boy cries for the man, showing his kind heart and his compassionate nature in a world where very little humanity exists .
she laughed .
i ran away from the richest man in the world ,
she said .
at least i guess he must have been the richest man in the world, for who could be richer than tul axtar, jeddak of jahar ?
featured on the beggars' banquet album, “street fighting man” was in part inspired by the riots on the left bank in paris of 1968. “sleepy london town” was jagger commenting how paris upheaval and the u. s. presence in vietnam, made london seem sleepy in comparison. ironically, the song came about after jagger witnessed a massive anti - war protest in grosvenor square .
with the desperation of caged animals nur an and i were fighting for our lives. there could be no question here of the scrupulous observance of the niceties of combat. it was his life or ours. realizing this, nur an snatched the short sword from the corpse of the fallen warrior and an instant later the second man was lying in a pool of his own blood .
don' t be a fool ,
snarled the man .
haj osis has given you to me. you will lead a better life as my slave than most free women live .
the boy whose head was bleeding is believed to have been hit repeatedly with the butt of the gun, while a bullet grazed the back of the older man filming .
a truck full of roadagents comes upon the man and the boy, who hide in the woods. the truck breaks down and one of the bad men finds them in the woods. the bad man grabs the boy, and the boy' s father shoots the man in the head and both escape into the woods. now the pistol has only one bullet left, and the man knows that this bullet is for his son should the time come. the boy wants to know if they are still the good guys, despite his father' s committing a murder. his father assures him that they are .
a moment later tul axtar entered the room, followed by half a dozen of his female courtiers. he was a gross man with repulsive features, which reflected a combination of strength and weakness, of haughty arrogance, of pride and of doubt—an innate questioning of his own ability .
it is a one - man flier ,
she replied ,
but it will carry both of us, though both its speed and altitude will be reduced .
the picture of grace, mccarthy said she' s been in sudbury a week working on the damien lee film a fighter man. it stars james caan, kim coates, lou gossett jr. and mccarthy .
it is a mad plan ,
said the girl ,
but is a brave one. if we are discovered, there will be fighting and i am unarmed. give me your short sword, warrior, that we may at least make the best account of ourselves that is possible .
the scene that met my gaze sent the hot fighting blood surging through my frame. in the center of the room a young warrior in rich trappings had tavia in his grasp and was dragging her across the room toward the doorway. tavia struggled, striking at him .
when they set out again, the man is even weaker than before. they come upon numerous burned bodies and melted roads that have reset in warped shapes. there are people following them: three men and a pregnant woman. the man and boy hide and let the group pass. later, the man and boy come upon their camp and discover the baby skewered over a fire. the boy doesn' t speak for over a day. then, he asks about the baby; he doesn' t understand where it came from .
a door at one side of the throne opened and a file of warriors entered. at first i was surprised because tavia had told me that no men other than tul axtar ever were permitted upon this level, but presently i saw that the warriors were women dressed in the harness of men, their hair cut and their faces painted, after the fashion of the fighting men of barsoom. after they had taken their places on either side of the throne, a courtier entered by the same door—another woman masquerading as a man .
no ,
i said ,
that makes no difference. i myself, am only a poor padwar, not rich enough to afford a slave. perhaps you are the one to be sorry that you were not rescued by a rich man .
from below came the sounds of renewed fighting. if the mob broke through i knew that we should all be lost. there was but one hope for even temporary safety and that was the slender tower above the women' s quarters .
give us a light ,
cried a voice, and a moment later ,
that is better .
it is not because of you ,
i said quickly .
it is the other conditions which no man of honor could accept .
the dear girl, as quick to seize upon the fortuitous opportunities as any trained fighting man, did not pause to question, but swung herself upward to the deck with the agility of an athlete, and as i seized the mooring ring and drew myself upward she lay flat upon her belly and reaching down assisted me; nor was the strength in that slender frame unequal to the task .
[ * note: a karad is equivalent to a degree of longitude. ]
for years the best minds of jahar labored with the problem until at last one of our most eminent scientists, an old man named phor tak, developed a rifle of amazing properties .
they continue their journey, exhausted and still starving. the man leaves the boy to sleep while he explores, and he finds an old apple orchard with some dried out apples. he continues to the house that' s adjacent to the orchard, where he finds a tank of water. the man fills some jars with water, gathers the dried apples, and takes them back to the boy. the man also found a dried drink mix, grape flavored, which he gives the boy. the boy enjoys the drink and their spirits are lifted for a moment .
sanoma tora and phao had been sent at once to a cabin by the warlord, for the deck of a man - of - war on duty is no place for women. i was about to depart when a messenger came saying that sanoma tora wished to see me .
i waited but a moment, and then i, too, entered the apartment. it was a gloomy room without windows. upon its walls hung keys of every imaginable size and shape. behind a large desk sat a coarse - looking man, who looked up quickly and scowled at the interruption as i entered .
totally forgot about this project! ! another variety show with your favorite stars in the mix, up and ready to jump over obstacles thrown at them! boran jing, nick wang kai, jackson wang, bai jing ting, jam hsiao, and yang shuo are the members for the latest jiangsu variety show called fighting man (我们战斗吧). this is something i’ll watch purely for the bromance. lol .
you will need help ,
i could hear the other man say in a pleading tone .
i can give you help; you shall have every ship of my great fleet .
a thousand times since then have i given thanks to my first ancestors that i did not follow my natural impulse, for, in response to my admonition a voice whispered :
do not thrust, red man; i am of your own race and a prisoner ,
and the voice was that of a girl .
as i paused at the top of the spiral ramp i felt quickly of my weapons to see that each was in its place. john carter had fitted me out anew. once more i stood in the leather and metal of helium, with a full complement of weapons such as belong to a fighting man of barsoom. my long sword was of the best steel, for it was one of john carter' s own. beside this, i carried a short sword and a dagger, and once again a heavy radium pistol hung at my hip. i loosened the latter in its holster as i started down the spiral ramp .
as they continue moving south, the man and boy run into other towns and landscapes that act as skeletons of the old world, both literally and metaphorically. they see bones of creatures and humans alike, as well as empty houses, barns, and vehicles. they find a train in the woods, and the man shows the boy how to play conductor .
as i walked around the edge of the building hurriedly, looking for some means of descent to the roof below, i saw something one level below me that instantly charged my attention. it was a man' s leg protruding from a window, as though he had thrown one limb across the sill. a moment later i saw an arm emerge, and the top of a man' s head and his shoulders were visible as he leaned out. he reached down and up and i saw something appear directly beneath him that had not been there before, and at the same instant i caught a glimpse of a girl, lying a few feet further down, and then i saw the man slide over the sill quickly and drop down and disappear, and all that lay below me was the flagging of a courtyard .
they press on, enduring more cold, rain, and hunger. nearing death, the man' s dreams turned to happy thoughts of his wife. they come upon another house, and the man feels something strange under his feet as he walks from the house to the shed. he digs and finds a plywood door in the ground. the boy is terrified and begs his father not to open it. after some time, the man tells the boy that the good guys keep trying, so they have to open the door and find out what' s down there. what they discover is a bunker, full of supplies and canned food, cots to sleep on, water, and a chemical toilet. it is a brief sanctuary from the world above. the man realizes that he' d been ready to die, but they would live. this is hard for the man to accept. the man and boy stay in the bunker for days, eating and sleeping. the boy wishes he could thank the people who left these things. he' s sorry that they' re dead, but hopes they' re safe in heaven .
by the end of the fight and the movie... .. we get to really know and like both boxers. we know why they are fighting. we know what the outcome will mean to each boxer. the movie does such a good job of showing both boxers... . that i…
we had traversed about two - thirds of this long corridor when a man stepped into it from a doorway a couple of hundred feet ahead of us. he was an officer, apparently a padwar of the guard. he halted in the middle of the corridor as a file of warriors emerged from the same doorway, and, forming in a column of twos, marched in our direction, the officer bringing up the rear .
all the balance of the night we traveled steadily at the rate of about six hundred haads per zode—a slow speed when compared with that of the good one - man flier that i had brought out of helium .
we had thought that our light, compact, powerful radium motors never could be improved upon and that man never would travel, either safely or economically, at a speed greater than that attained by our swift one - man scout fliers—about eleven hundred haads per zode, [ * ] when a virtually unknown padwar in the navy of helium announced that he had perfected a motor that, with one - half the weight of our present motors, would develop twice the speed .
a man' s knee was upon my chest, pressing me heavily against the deck and one of his hands clutched me by the throat. in the dim light of the cabin i saw that it was tul axtar and that his other hand held a dagger .
what a mighty river ,
he added after a moment' s silence .
could it be a tributary of iss ?
but whatever musing upon the flora of this strange land i may have been indulging in was brought to a sudden termination as we rounded the shoulder of a jutting promontory and came face to face with as hideous a creature as ever i had laid my eyes upon. it was a great white lizard with gaping jaws large enough to engulf a man at a single swallow. at sight of us it emitted an angry hiss and advanced menacingly toward us .

the second man had evidently discovered this simultaneously, for he, too, shrank aside, and with whirling propeller i shot upward from the royal hangar of the jed of tjanath .
the man and boy come upon the house where the man grew up. the boy is scared of this house, as he is of many of the houses. the boy worries they' ll run into someone, like the roadagents or bad guys who eat people in order to survive. the man has decided, too, that should roadagents find them, that he will kill the boy so that they cannot torture him, but he often wonders to himself if he would be able to do it if the time should ever come .

he took me by surprise and would have stabbed me in the back had i not managed to outwit him .

oh jesus, i got shot in the * * * * * back, bro .
jahar must be, indeed, an unhappy country ,
i said ,
ruled over, as she is, by such a man as tul axtar. recently i have heard much of him, but as yet i have not heard him credited with a single virtue .
i had hunted these creatures in thark as a guest of the great green jeddak, tars tarkas, and i knew something of their cunning and resourcefulness as well as of their ferocity. extremely man - like in conformation, they also approach man more closely than any other of the lower orders in the size and development of their brain. occasionally these creatures are captured when young and trained to perform, and so intelligent are they that they can be taught to do almost anything that man can do that lies within the range of their limited reasoning capacity. man has, however, never been able to subdue their ferocious nature and they are always the most dangerous of animals to handle, which probably accounts more even than their intelligence for the interest displayed by the large audiences that they unfailingly attract .
presently, as my eyes became more accustomed to the dim light in my cell, i saw the figure of what appeared to be a man crouching against the wall near me. again i heard a sound as he moved and this time it was accompanied by the rattle of a chain, and then i saw a face turn toward me, but i could not distinguish the features .

angry shouting alerts the men resting on their machines to a throng of soldiers storming past - a man, stripped down to a pair of baggy trousers and his hands tied, is being pushed along. one soldier holds him by the hair, as another kicks him from behind. the captive pleads for mercy as soldiers crowd around him .
if you are lost, i shall not live. i swear it ,
she said ,
so if you can trust me to do the work of a man, let me go with you instead of one of those .
instantly she was the target for a hundred guns, a barrage of shells was bursting about her and then there must have been a dozen hits simultaneously, for the cruiser simply disappeared—a mass of flying debris .
o’brien describes the reaction of his platoon - mates—insensitive azar compares the young man to oatmeal, shredded wheat, and rice krispies, while kiowa rationalizes o’brien’s actions and urges him to take his time coming to terms with the death. all the while, o’brien reflects on the boy’s life, cut short. he looks at the boy’s sunken chest and delicate fingers and wonders if he was a scholar. he imagines that the other boys at school might have teased this boy because he may have had a woman’s walk and a love for mathematics. a butterfly lands on the corpse’s cheek, which causes o’brien to notice the undamaged nose. despite kiowa’s urging to pull himself together, to talk about it, and to stop staring at the body, o’brien cannot do so. kiowa confesses that maybe he doesn’t understand what o’brien is going through, but he rationalizes that the young man was carrying a weapon and that they are fighting a war. he asks if o’brien would rather trade places with him. o’brien doesn’t respond to kiowa .
one of the earliest investigations into u. s. war crimes took place in 1902, when a senate committee agreed to examine mounting allegations of misconduct in the philippine - american war. the conflict cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians, and though many of these deaths were from disease, veterans testified at congressional hearings about rampant brutality by american soldiers. years later, the ongoing violence in the philippines would inspire a young george c. marshall, on his first assignment fresh out of military school, to tell a fellow officer: “once an army is involved in war, there is a beast in every fighting man which begins tugging at its chains. and a good officer must learn early on how to keep the beast under control, both in his men and himself. ”
before us lay a long vaulted corridor at the far end of which i could discern a moonlit archway, through which we presently passed onto a broad avenue .
she forced a smile to her beautiful lips, but i thought that a shudder ran through her frame .
it was not the apartment of a jeddara; it was little better than the cell of a slave .

o’brien notices that the young man’s head is lying by tiny blue flowers and that his cheek is peeled back in three ragged strips. he imagines that the boy began studying at the university in saigon in
we moved cautiously along the winding trail, not knowing at what moment we might be confronted by some new menace in the form of man or beast. presently we saw ahead of us what appeared to be an opening in the forest and a moment later we emerged into a clearing. looming in front of us at a distance of perhaps less than a haad was a towering pile of masonry. it was a gloomy pile, apparently built of black volcanic rock. for some thirty feet above the ground there was a blank wall, pierced by but a single opening—a small doorway almost directly in front of us. this part of the structure appeared to be a wall, beyond it rose buildings of weird and grotesque outlines and dominating all was a lofty tower, from the summit of which a wisp of smoke curled upward into the quiet air .
the boy is very concerned with making sure they are
carrying the fire ,
assuring himself that he and his father are the good guys as opposed to the bad guys (who eat dogs and other people). the man tells the boy stories of justice and courage from the old world in the hopes that such stories will keep the fire alive in the boy. the man hopes for a future that might again also harbor courage, justice, and humanity .
what could i have done under like circumstances burdened with sanoma tora? i doubt that she could have walked a dozen haads, while tavia swung along at my side with the lithe grace of perfect health and strength. it takes a good man to keep up with me on a march, but tavia never lagged; nor did she show signs of fatigue more quickly than i .
i am a slave girl ,
she said ;
just a slave girl who has run away from her master. perhaps that will make a difference ,
she added a little sadly .
perhaps you will be sorry that you have defended just a slave girl .
i am tan hadron of hastor, my father is had urtur, odwar of the 1st umak of the troops of hastor. he commands the largest ship of war that hastor has ever contributed to the navy of helium, accommodating as it does the entire ten thousand men of the 1st umak, together with five hundred lesser fighting ships and all the paraphernalia of war. my mother is a princess of gathol .
men had been searching the grounds of tor hatan and that portion of the city adjacent to his palace, and now several approached bearing a man, whom they laid upon the sward at our feet. his broken and mangled body was entirely naked, and as he lay there gasping feebly for breath, he was a pitiful spectacle .
i was upon the point of springing the catch and opening the panel when my attention was attracted by voices from the room beyond. i heard a man' s voice and that of a woman, but i could understand no words. cautiously, i opened the panel sufficiently to permit me to view the interior of the apartment .
as we emerged from the ravine at its upper end i glanced back, and again i saw the creature looking at us and once again he tried to hide himself from us. as we moved on i kept glancing back and occasionally i would see him—one of the hunting men of u - gor. he was stalking us as the wild beast stalks its prey. the very thought of it filled me with disgust. had he been a fighting man stalking us merely to kill, i should not have felt as i did, but the thought that he was stealthily trailing us because he desired to devour us was repellent—it was horrifying .
if we succeed there will be no fighting ,
replied the girl. she stepped quickly across the room to a door, which she opened, revealing a large closet .
here, nur an ,
she said ,
is where you must remain until we return. there is no reason why anyone should open this door, and in so far as i know, it never has been opened since i have occupied these quarters, except by me .
a fine mouth spread into a smile that revealed strong, white teeth .

she said .

where was tavia? where was nur an? perhaps this man alone knew where tavia was and phor tak was about to destroy him. with a cry of warning i leaped into the room. tul axtar and phor tak looked at me quickly, surprise large upon their countenances .
it is all right ,
she said presently, and simultaneously she pushed a wooden panel ajar and in the opening i saw a portion of the interior of a circular apartment with narrow windows heavily barred. opposite the opening, upon a pile of sleeping silks and furs, i saw a woman reclining. only a bare shoulder, a tiny ear and a head of tousled hair were visible. at the first glance i knew that they were tavia' s .
the man and boy are cold and starving, as they are for most of the novel. as they travel, they are on a constant lookout for food, clothing, shoes, supplies, and roadagents. in one town, the boy thinks he sees a dog and a little boy and tries to chase after them. he worries about the other little boy for the rest of the novel .
an officer approached tor hatan excitedly .
my men have just found six more bodies close to the point at which we discovered this man ,
he said .
they are all naked and similarly broken and mangled .
it is all a plot ,
cried sil vagis .
do you take the word of a slave, tor hatan, against that of a noble of helium ?
they come upon towns and cities that are mere shells of what they once were. remnants of the old world often — like houses, billboards, and hotels — clash with the reality of the new world, reminding the man of the life he once lived. the man remembers an evening spent on the lake with his uncle. and he remembers his wife — who left him and the boy, presumably to kill herself and escape this horrible new world .
they come upon a waterfall and the man and boy swim together, the man teaching the boy how to float. it' s a tender moment that suggests lessons that fathers would have taught their sons in the old world. throughout the novel there are moments like this one at the waterfall, scenes that prove the bond between fathers and sons still exist in this new world. it exists, in many ways, just as it did before. the father cares for his son, and teaches his son, and worries about his son' s future under such uncertain circumstances .
this is not such a depressing place as you thought ,
i said in a low voice to nur an .
we were now close above the outer wall of the city and our conversation was interrupted by the appearance of a flier, evidently a patrol, bearing down upon us. she was sounding an alarm—the shrill screaming of her horn shattering the silence of the early morning. almost immediately the warning was taken up by gongs and shrieking sirens throughout the city. the patrol boat changed her course and rose swiftly above us, while from landing stages all about rose scores of fighting planes until we were entirely surrounded .
the man has flashbacks about leaving his billfold behind earlier in the journey, after his wife left him and the boy. he recalls that he also left behind his only picture of his wife, and ponders whether he could have convinced her to stay alive with them. the man remembers the night that his son was born, after the clocks all stopped, how he' d delivered the baby himself, marking the beginning of their intense father / son bond .
the 22 - year - old recorded around a dozen people getting into a massive brawl at a shell, but around three minutes into the clip, someone yelled :
gun

idling in the guard room, the warriors then off duty were engaged in various pursuits. some where cleaning their harness and polishing their metal; two were playing at jetan, while others were rolling tiny numbered spheres at a group of numbered holes—a fascinating game of chance, called yano, which is, i presume, almost as old as barsoomian civilization. the room was filled with the laughter and oaths of fighting men. how alike are warriors the world over! but for their harness and their metal they might have been a detachment of the palace guard at helium .
on may 2, during the mission to the small village of qualaday, winfield was told he would be going in with gibbs. while first lt. stefan moye met with a local resident, gibbs led a team on a search of the surrounding area. (by this time, ligsay had been transferred to a staff position at headquarters .) shortly after separating from the rest of the platoon, winfield and morlock both claim, they found an unarmed man inside a compound. gibbs asked them if they wanted to kill him, and they agreed .
portions of many of these ancient, deserted cities are inhabited by the great white apes of barsoom, which are in many respects more to be feared than the green warriors themselves, for not only are these man - like creatures endowed with enormous strength and characterized by intense ferocity, but they are also voracious man - eaters. so terrible are they that it is said that they are the only living creatures that can instill fear within the breasts of the green men of barsoom .
nur an came toward us, with a firm step, his head high and a glance of haughty contempt for our captors .
again i felt above me. by issus, there was something there! my fingers passed over a smooth surface—a familiar surface .
the hangar guards sought to detain and question me. i do not recall what i told them; i know that i must have lied to them, for they let me run out a swift one - man flier and an instant later i was racing through the night toward the palace of tor hatan.
