Edgar Burroughs - Llana of Gathol

As I was approaching it, the effects of the invisibility sphere diminished rapidly; and I materialized before the astounded gaze of Hin Abtol.

"Who are you? What are you?" he demanded.

"I am the man whose flier you stole at Horz," I replied. "I am the man who took it from beneath your nose in Pankor, and with it Llana of Gathol-I am John Carter, Prince of Helium; have you ever heard of me?"

Nearing the fleet, I broke out my colors-the colors of the Prince of Helium; and a great cheer rose from the deck of every ship that could distinguish them.

The rest is history now-how Helium's great fleet destroyed Hin Abtol's fleet, and the army of Helium routed the forces which had for so long invested Gathol.

When the brief war was over, we set free nearly a million of the frozen men of Panar; and I returned to Helium and Dejah Thoris, from whom I hope never to be separated again.

I had brought with me Jad-han and Pan Dan Chee, whom we had found among the prisoners of the Panars; and though I was not present at the assured me that the dangers and vicissitudes he had suffered for love of the fair Gatholian had not been in vain.
