ance through which we had come, through which we had thought lay safety, streamed other armored men. We were outflanked.
“To the fissure!” shouted Ventnor. Drake heard, for he changed his course to the crevice at whose mouth Ruth had said the — Little Things — had lain.
After him streaked Chiu-Ming, urging on the pony. Shouting out of the tunnel, down over the lip of the bowl, Norge Fodboldtrøjer leaped the soldiers. We dropped upon our knees, sent shot after shot into them. They fell back, hesitated. We sprang up, sped on.
All too short was the check, but once more we held them — and again.
Now Ruth and Dick were a scant fifty yards from the crevice. I saw him stop, push her from him toward it. She shook her head.
Now Chiu-Ming was with them. Ruth sprang to the pony, Brasilien Børn Fodboldtrøjer lifted from its Naisten Barcelona Pelipaidat back a rifle. Then into the Rusland Fodboldtrøjer mass of their pursuers Drake and she poured a fusillade. They huddled, wavered, broke for cover.
“A chance!” gasped Ventnor.
Behind us was a wolflike yelping. The first pack had re-formed; had crossed the barricade the dynamite had made; was rushing upon us.
I ran as I had never known I could. Over us whined the bullets from the covering guns. Close were we now to the mouth of the fissure. If we could but BVB Dortmund reach it. Close, close were our pursuers, too — the arrows closer.

The springs of ancient Persia’s long dead power, these. Men of Xerxes’s ruthless, Sveitsi Pelipaidat world-conquering hordes; the lustful, ravening wolves of Darius whom Alexander scattered — in this world of ours twenty centuries Gremio beyond their time!
Swiftly, accurately, even as I scanned them, we had been drilling into them. They advanced deliberately, heedless of their fallen. Chile Their arrows had ceased to fly. I wondered why, for now we were well within their range. Had they orders to take us alive — at whatever cost to themselves?
“I’ve got Herre Parajumpers Gobi Parka only about ten cartridges left, Martin,” I told him.
“We’ve saved Ruth anyway,” he said. “Drake ought to be able to hold that hole in the wall. He’s got lots of ammunition on the pony. But they’ve got us.”
