"It is a sail," said Lajo presently. "We are saved."
"But suppose the ship is manned by unfriendly people?" asked Jason.
"It is not," said Lajo. "It is manned by Korsars, for no other ships sail the Korsar Az."
"There is another," exclaimed Jana. "There are many of them."
"Come about and run for it," said Tarzan; "perhaps they have not seen us yet."
"Why should we try to escape?" asked Lajo.
"Because we have not enough men to fight them," replied Tarzan. "They may not be your enemies, but they will be ours."
Lajo did as he was bid, nor had he any alternative since the Korsars aboard were only three unarmed men, while there were ten Waziri with rifles.
All eyes watched the sails in the distance and it soon became apparent that they were coming closer, for the longboat, with its small sail, was far from fast. Little by little the distance between them and the ships decreased until it was evident that they were being pursued by a considerable fleet.
"Those are no Korsars," said Lajo. "I have never seen ships like those before."
