harness ['hQ:nIs], chariot ['tSxrIqt], vehicle ['vi:Ikl]
After a breakfast, which was an exact replica of the meal of the preceding day and an index of practically every meal which followed while I was with the green men of Mars, Sola escorted me to the plaza, where I found the entire community engaged in watching or helping at the harnessing of huge mastodonian animals to great three-wheeled chariots. There were about two hundred and fifty of these vehicles, each drawn by a single animal, any one of which, from their appearance, might easily have drawn the entire wagon train when fully loaded.
The chariots themselves were large, commodious, and gorgeously decorated (ΡΠ°ΠΌΠΈ ΠΏΠΎΠ²ΠΎΠ·ΠΊΠΈ Π±ΡΠ»ΠΈ Π±ΠΎΠ»ΡΡΠΈΠ΅, ΡΠ΄ΠΎΠ±Π½ΡΠ΅ ΠΈ ΡΠΎΡΠΊΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎ ΡΠΊΡΠ°ΡΠ΅Π½Π½ΡΠ΅; commodiousβ ΠΏΡΠΎΡΡΠΎΡΠ½ΡΠΉ, ΡΠ΄ΠΎΠ±Π½ΡΠΉ).

commodious [kq'moudjqs], perch [pWtS], gorgeously ['gO:dZqslI], fur [fW]
The chariots themselves were large, commodious, and gorgeously decorated. In each was seated a female Martian loaded with ornaments of metal, with jewels and silks and furs, and upon the back of each of the beasts which drew the chariots was perched a young Martian driver. Like the animals upon which the warriors were mounted, the heavier draft animals wore neither bit nor bridle, but were guided entirely by telepathic means.

This power is wonderfully developed in all Martians, and accounts largely for the simplicity of their language and the relatively few spoken words exchanged even in long conversations. It is the universal language of Mars, through the medium of which the higher and lower animals of this world of paradoxes are able to communicate to a greater or less extent, depending upon the intellectual sphere of the species and the development of the individual.

As the cavalcade took up the line of march in single file, Sola dragged me into an empty chariot and we proceeded with the procession toward the point by which I had entered the city the day before. At the head of the caravan rode some two hundred warriors, five abreast, and a like number brought up the rear, while twenty-five or thirty outriders flanked us on either side.

Every one but myself β men, women, and children β were heavily armed, and at the tail of each chariot trotted a Martian hound, my own beast following closely behind ours; in fact, the faithful creature never left me voluntarily during the entire ten years I spent on Mars. Our way led out across the little valley before the city, through the hills, and down into the dead sea bottom which I had traversed on my journey from the incubator to the plaza. The incubator, as it proved, was the terminal point of our journey this day, and, as the entire cavalcade broke into a mad gallop as soon as we reached the level expanse of sea bottom, we were soon within sight of our goal.
On reaching it the chariots were parked with military precision on the four sides of the enclosure (ΠΊΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° ΠΌΡ Π΄ΠΎΡΡΠΈΠ³Π»ΠΈ Π΅Π΅, ΠΏΠΎΠ²ΠΎΠ·ΠΊΠΈ ΡΠ°ΡΠΏΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠΆΠΈΠ»ΠΈ Ρ Π²ΠΎΠ΅Π½Π½ΠΎΠΉ ΡΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΡΡΡΡ Ρ ΡΠ΅ΡΡΡΠ΅Ρ ΡΡΠΎΡΠΎΠ½ Π·Π°Π³ΠΎΡΠΎΠ΄ΠΊΠΈ; to park β ΡΡΠ°Π²ΠΈΡΡΠ½Π°ΡΡΠΎΡΠ½ΠΊΡ; ΡΠ°ΡΠΏΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠΆΠΈΡΡΡΡ), and half a score of warriors, headed by the enormous chieftain (ΠΈ Π΄Π΅ΡΡΡΠΎΠΊ Π²ΠΎΠΈΠ½ΠΎΠ², Π²ΠΎΠ·Π³Π»Π°Π²Π»ΡΠ΅ΠΌΡΡ Π³ΠΈΠ³Π°Π½ΡΡΠΊΠΈΠΌ Π²ΠΎΠΆΠ΄Π΅ΠΌ; score β Π΄Π²Π°Π΄Π΅ΡΡΡΠΊΠ°), and including Tars Tarkas and several other lesser chiefs (Π²ΠΊΠ»ΡΡΠ°Ρ Π’Π°ΡΡΠ° Π’Π°ΡΠΊΠ°ΡΠ° ΠΈ Π½Π΅ΡΠΊΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΈΡ Π΄ΡΡΠ³ΠΈΡ ΠΌΠ΅Π½Π΅Π΅ Π·Π½Π°ΡΠΈΡΠ΅Π»ΡΠ½ΡΡ Π²ΠΎΠΆΠ΄Π΅ΠΉ), dismounted and advanced toward it (ΡΠΏΠ΅ΡΠΈΠ»ΠΈΡΡ ΠΈ Π½Π°ΠΏΡΠ°Π²ΠΈΠ»ΠΈΡΡ ΠΊ Π½Π΅ΠΉ).
