The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: them their lives if they would do so. At last there
were but ten boatloads left. These turned in flight.
They thought they could paddle away from us--
it was pitiful! I passed the word from boat to boat
to cease firing--not to kill another Hoojan unless they
fired on us. Then we set out after them. There was
a nice little breeze blowing and we bowled along after
our quarry as gracefully and as lightly as swans upon
a park lagoon. As we approached them I could see not
only wonder but admiration in their eyes. I hailed the
nearest dugout.
