“I believe so. At least we will try.”
“Antarctic natives!” cried Professor Gaston, at once interested. “Well, that settles one important point, don’t it, that the South Pole regions are inhabited?”
“It does!” agreed Frank. “And yonder are mountains and a volcano!”
The scientist was, however, just now interested in the barbarians.
A visit was made to the spot where the electric bomb had exploded.
Some of the primitive weapons of the barbarians were secured. Several of them had escaped mutilation and a look was taken at their features.
“Of the Aryan type!” declared Professor Gaston. “Barbarians in every sense of the word. The shape of the skull precludes anything but low intellect.”
The remaining or surviving barbarians had vanished.
Where they had gone was something of a mystery. Certain it was they were not in sight anywhere.
It was decided to follow their trail as well as possible through the snow.
