As Carthoris, Xodar, Tars1 Tarkas, and I stood gazing at the magnificent vessel2 which meant so much to all of us, we saw a second and then a third top the summit of the hills and glide3 gracefully4 after their sister.
Now a score of one-man air scouts5 were launching from the upper decks of the nearer vessel, and in a moment more were speeding in long, swift dives to the ground about us.
In another instant we were surrounded by armed sailors, and an officer had stepped forward to address us, when his eyes fell upon Carthoris. With an exclamation6 of surprised pleasure he sprang forward, and, placing his hands upon the boy's shoulder, called him by name.
"Carthoris, my Prince," he cried, "Kaor! Kaor! Hor Vastus greets the son of Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, and of her husband, John Carter. Where have you been, O my Prince? All Helium has been plunged7 in sorrow. Terrible have been the calamities8 that have befallen your great-grandsire's mighty9 nation since the fatal day that saw you leave our midst."
"Grieve not, my good Hor Vastus," cried Carthoris, "since I bring not back myself alone to cheer my mother's heart and the hearts of my beloved people, but also one whom all Barsoom loved best—her greatest warrior10 and her saviour11—John Carter, Prince of Helium!"
