“I found one of the Brabos that you wounded three days ago.”
“Did he tell you where we were?”
“Yes; without him, I should have returned to the Professor last night.”
“Where is the Professor now?”
“He is probably near the Brabos, or southeast of the position now occupied by the Osagas.”
“Why did you leave the Professor?”
“I came with Ralsea to find the Osagas, but when we came up, found that the Kurabus were coming from the north and had joined the Illyas, so that my route to the Osagas was cut off.”
“Why did the Professor try to follow the Osagas?”
“Because he was told at the Osaga village that they had gone to capture the wagon.”
“Why should the Osagas be at enmity with us?”
