“Who is Suros?”
“Big chief of Berees.”
“Are all the fights about the land?”
“No; when one gets too much the other want it. If Saboros get captive, Kurabus want it; when Kurabus get three or four captive, Brabos want some of them.”
“Yes; the Tuolos, and the Kurabus, and the Illyas.”
“Who are the Illyas?”
“Mean men; we can reach them; close to. Big fighters, and nobody likes them.”
“Are they near the mountain?” he asked, pointing to the east.
He nodded an assent. Here, at last, were the people that John had long tried to find out about.
