Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


We had stumbled upon a two-man flier. Its ray tanks were charged
only with sufficient repulsive energy to lift two ordinary men.
The Thark's great weight was anchoring us to our doom.


The blacks were nearly upon us. There was not an instant to be
lost in hesitation or doubt.


I pressed the button far in and locked it. Then I set the lever
at high speed and as the blacks came yelling upon us I slipped from
the craft's deck and with drawn long-sword met the attack.
