The fleet sailed directly for Hooja’s island, coming to anchor at its north-eastern extremity1 before the flat-topped hill that had been Hooja’s stronghold. I sent one of the prisoners ashore2 to demand an immediate3 surrender; but as he told me afterward4 they wouldn’t believe all that he told them, so they congregated5 on the cliff-top and shot futile6 arrows at us.

In reply I had five of the feluccas cannonade them. When they scampered8 away at the sound of the terrific explosions, and at sight of the smoke and the iron balls I landed a couple of hundred red warriors9 and led them to the opposite end of the hill into the tunnel that ran to its summit. Here we met a little resistance; but a volley from the muzzle11-loaders turned back those who disputed our right of way, and presently we gained the mesa. Here again we met resistance, but at last the remnant of Hooja’s horde12 surrendered.

Juag was with me, and I lost no time in returning to him and his tribe the hilltop that had been their ancestral home for ages until they were robbed of it by Hooja. I created a kingdom of the island, making Juag king there. Before we sailed I went to Gr-gr-gr, chief of the beast-men, taking Juag with me. There the three of us arranged a code of laws that would permit the brute-folk and the human beings of the island to live in peace and harmony. Gr-gr-gr sent his son with me back to Sari, capital of my empire, that he might learn the ways of the human beings. I have hopes of turning this race into the greatest agriculturists of Pellucidar. When I returned to the fleet I found that one of the islanders of Juag’s tribe, who had been absent when we arrived, had just returned from the mainland with the news that a great army was encamped in the Land of Awful Shadow, and that they were threatening Thuria. I lost no time in weighing anchors and setting out for the continent, which we reached after a short and easy voyage.
