get.'
'But I want to repay you for what you have done for us,' I said.
'No,' he said. 'You owe us nothing. You saved my life; for that I can never repay you. And know,' he added, 'that you are always welcome in the home of the Cloud People.'
I thanked him, and we bade them goodby then, and started off down the canyon.
'And these were the impossible mountains,' I said.
'And those were the man-eaters who would destroy and devour us,' said Duare.
' Banat would be surprised if he knew how easily we had accomplished the impossible,' remarked Ero Shan.
'And we have the tharban to thank,' I said. 'That was certainly a lucky break for us; for without Mor's gratitude we should never have come through. It would have been impossible to have found or negotiated that trail without his help and guidance.'
We went down the canyon to its mouth, where there opened before us a scene that was to us one of exquisite beauty, for I recognized distant landmarks of a terrain over which I had flown many times, and I knew that we had reached Korva; and in the distance I imagined that I could see the towers and spires of Sanara.
We had been gone a year or more. We had suffered appalling vicissitudes. We had survived unspeakable dangers. We had overcome seemingly insuperable obstacles, but at long last we were home.
THE END
