The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Monster Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs: that Barunda possessed the power to rob him of it all,
so at last he acquiesced, though with poor grace.
Bulan had stood near during this conversation, unable,
of course, to understand a single word of the native tongue.
"What does the man say?" he asked Barunda. "Has he
seen anything of the prahu bearing the girl?"
"Yes," replied the Dyak. "He says that two hours ago
such a war prahu passed on its way up river--he saw the
white girl plainly. Also he knows whither they are bound,
and how, by crossing through the jungle on foot, you may
intercept them at their next stop."
