Hazy in the minds of their
hosts was the location of heaven and equally so the means by which
the gods traveled between their celestial homes and the haunts
of men and so no questionings arose when it was found that the
Dor-ul-Otho with his mate and son would travel overland across the
mountains and out of Pal-ul-don toward the north.
They went by way of the Kor-ul-ja accompanied by the warriors of
that tribe and a great contingent of Ho-don warriors under Ta-den.
The king and many warriors and a multitude of people accompanied
them beyond the limits of A-lur and after they had bid them good-bye
and Tarzan had invoked the blessings of God upon them the three
Europeans saw their simple, loyal friends prostrate in the dust
behind them until the cavalcade had wound out of the city and
disappeared among the trees of the nearby forest.
They rested for a day among the Kor-ul-ja while Jane investigated
the ancient caves of these strange people and then they moved on,
avoiding the rugged shoulder of Pastar-ul-ved and winding down the
opposite slope toward the great morass. They moved in comfort and
in safety, surrounded by their escort of Ho-don and Waz-don.
In the minds of many there was doubtless a question as to how
the three would cross the great morass but least of all was Tarzan
worried by the problem.
