The tallest, lean bodied but broad\u003cbr\u003eshouldered, black of hair and gray of eye, held himself in soldierly\u003cbr\u003efashion and gazed unmoved. His two mates--one stocky, red faced and red\u003cbr\u003eheaded; the other slender, bronzed and blond--betrayed their thoughts in\u003cbr\u003etheir blue eyes. The red man squinted quizzically at the smoke feather\u003cbr\u003eas if it mattered little to him where he was. The blond watched it with\u003cbr\u003ethe wistfulness of one who sees the last sign of his own world fade out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBehind them, at a respectful distance, a number of swarthy individuals\u003cbr\u003eof both sexes in nondescript garments smoked and stared at the trio with\u003cbr\u003ethe interest always accorded strangers by the dwellers of the Out\u003cbr\u003ePlaces. They eyed the uncompromising back of the tall one, the easy\u003cbr\u003elounge of the red one, the thoughtful attitude of the light one. The\u003cbr\u003ecopper-faced men peered at the rifles hanging in the right hands of the\u003cbr\u003enewcomers, their knee boots, khaki clothing, and wide hats. The women\u003cbr\u003elet their eyes rove over the boxes and bundles reposing in the mud\u003cbr\u003ebeside the three.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"_Ingles?_\" hazarded a woman, speaking through the stem of the black\u003cbr\u003epipe clutched in her filed teeth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"_Notre-Americano_,\" asserted a man, nodding toward the broad hats.\u003cbr\u003e\"Englishmen would wear the round helmets of pith.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"_Mercadores?_ Traders?\" suggested the woman, hopefully running an eye\u003cbr\u003eagain over the bundles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"_Exploradores_,\" the man corrected. \"Explorers of the bush. Have you no\u003cbr\u003eeyes? Do you not see the guns and high boots?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe woman subsided. The others continued what seemed to be their only\u003cbr\u003eoccupation--smoking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe smoke streamer in the north vanished. As if moved by the same\u003cbr\u003eimpulse, the three strangers turned their heads and looked\u003cbr\u003esouth-westward, upriver. The red-haired man spoke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"So we've lit at last, as the feller said when him and his airyplane\u003cbr\u003elanded in a sewer. Faith, I dunno but he was better off than us, at\u003cbr\u003ethat--he wasn't two thousand miles from nowheres like we are. The\u003cbr\u003esteamer's gone, and us three pore li'l' boys are left a long ways from\u003cbr\u003ehome.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071052628208,"sku":"2940015888430","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015888430","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
