The 10th shot brought down the rest of the rock masses. The added obstruction served to completely dam up the mountain stream. The waterfall farther down stream dried up to a mere rivulet.

After that I did nothing but run for all I was worth. It was a race against time in two senses of the word. On the one hand I had lost too much time and on the other hand it was healthy to put as much distance as possible between myself and the white-glowing base of that cannon. If it exploded, a synthetic sun would rise above the primeval forest.Almost completely exhausted, I finally reached Tirako Gamno. He asked no superfluous questions. Naturally he had been able to observe what had happened. He had already shoved my boat into the water, ready for a quick departure. He was sitting at the oars. The insuperable wall of water had disappeared. The powerful main stream had carried away the last of the frothing eddies.

As Tirako began to row I stopped him. I had to do that part myself. He relinquished his place without a word and I started to row toward the middle of the river. Once there we were gripped by the full current. Moments later we passed the place where the water barrier had thwarted our further progress

“That’s a top-grade performance,” said Tirako with genuine praise, once I had caught my breath. “I’d never have thought of it. May I hear directly from the source, oh man of action? What went on there in the dimness of the forest?”

“A real drama, sonny,” I told him, taking a deep breath. “I know now, that nobody’s gotten this far yet. No Hertaso entered that tank before me.”

“Tank…?”

I described it to him. He nodded thoughtfully. An ironic smile played about his lips. “Seems to me the serpent creature was unforeseen. Wait and see, Commander, what surprises may yet be lying in wait for us!”

I looked back anxiously upstream. The hovercraft’s cannon didn’t seem to be acting up as I had expected. Otherwise we’d know it by now. Luck! Or was it?
