exhibition ["eksI'bIS(q)n], endeavor [In'devq], oblivion [q'blIvIqn]
If ever Martians had an exhibition of jumping, it was granted those astonished warriors on that day long years ago, but while it led them away from Dejah Thoris it did not distract their attention from endeavoring to capture me.
They raced wildly after me until, finally, my foot struck a projecting piece of quartz, and down I went sprawling upon the moss. As I looked up they were upon me, and although I drew my long-sword in an attempt to sell my life as dearly as possible, it was soon over. I reeled beneath their blows which fell upon me in perfect torrents; my head swam; all was black, and I went down beneath them to oblivion.

consciousness ['kOnSqsnIs], surprise [sq'praIz], render ['rendq]
It must have been several hours before I regained consciousness and I well remember the feeling of surprise which swept over me as I realized that I was not dead.
I was lying among a pile of sleeping silks and furs in the corner of a small room in which were several green warriors, and bending over me was an ancient and ugly female.
As I opened my eyes she turned to one of the warriors, saying,
"He will live, O Jed."
"'Tis well," replied the one so addressed, rising and approaching my couch, "he should render rare sport for the great games."
And now as my eyes fell upon him (ΠΈ ΡΠ΅ΠΏΠ΅ΡΡ, ΠΊΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° ΠΌΠΎΠΉ Π²Π·Π³Π»ΡΠ΄ ΡΠΏΠ°Π» Π½Π° Π½Π΅Π³ΠΎ), I saw that he was no Thark (Ρ ΡΠ²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅Π», ΡΡΠΎ ΠΎΠ½ Π½Π΅ Π±ΡΠ» ΡΠ°ΡΠΊΠΎΠΌ), for his ornaments and metal were not of that horde (ΡΠ°ΠΊ ΠΊΠ°ΠΊ Π΅Π³ΠΎ ΡΠΊΡΠ°ΡΠ΅Π½ΠΈΡ ΠΈ Π·Π½Π°ΠΊΠΈ ΡΠ°Π·Π»ΠΈΡΠΈΡ Π½Π΅ ΠΏΡΠΈΠ½Π°Π΄Π»Π΅ΠΆΠ°Π»ΠΈ ΡΡΠΎΠΌΡ ΠΏΠ»Π΅ΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈ).

After a few more words with the female (ΠΎΠ±ΠΌΠ΅Π½ΡΠ²ΡΠΈΡΡ Π΅ΡΠ΅ Π½Π΅ΡΠΊΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΈΠΌΠΈ ΡΠ»ΠΎΠ²Π°ΠΌΠΈ Ρ ΠΆΠ΅Π½ΡΠΈΠ½ΠΎΠΉ), during which she assured him that I was now fully fit to travel (ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠΌΠΈ ΠΎΠ½Π° ΡΠ²Π΅ΡΠΈΠ»Π° Π΅Π³ΠΎ, ΡΡΠΎ Ρ ΡΠΆΠ΅ Π²ΠΏΠΎΠ»Π½Π΅ Π³ΠΎΡΠΎΠ² ΠΏΡΡΠ΅ΡΠ΅ΡΡΠ²ΠΎΠ²Π°ΡΡ; fit β Π³ΠΎΡΠΎΠ²ΡΠΉ, Π·Π΄ΠΎΡΠΎΠ²ΡΠΉ), the jed ordered that we mount and ride after the main column (Π΄ΠΆΠ΅Π΄ ΠΏΡΠΈΠΊΠ°Π·Π°Π» Π½Π°ΠΌ ΡΠ°Π΄ΠΈΡΡΡΡ Π²Π΅ΡΡ ΠΎΠΌ ΠΈ Π΅Ρ Π°ΡΡ ΡΠ»Π΅Π΄ΠΎΠΌ Π·Π° ΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠ²Π½ΠΎΠΉ ΠΊΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠ½Π½ΠΎΠΉ).
dried [draId], purgatory ['pWgqt(q)rI], gehenna [gq'henq]
And now as my eyes fell upon him, I saw that he was no Thark, for his ornaments and metal were not of that horde. He was a huge fellow, terribly scarred about the face and chest, and with one broken tusk and a missing ear. Strapped on either breast were human skulls and depending from these a number of dried human hands.
His reference to the great games of which I had heard so much while among the Tharks convinced me that I had but jumped from purgatory into gehenna.
After a few more words with the female, during which she assured him that I was now fully fit to travel, the jed ordered that we mount and ride after the main column.
I was strapped securely to as wild and unmanageable a thoat as I had ever seen (Ρ Π±ΡΠ» Π½Π°Π΄Π΅ΠΆΠ½ΠΎ ΠΏΡΠΈΠ²ΡΠ·Π°Π½ ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ½ΡΠΌΠΈ ΠΊ Π½Π°ΡΡΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΎ Π΄ΠΈΠΊΠΎΠΌΡ ΠΈ Π½Π΅ΠΏΠΎΠΊΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠΌΡ ΡΠΎΡΡ, ΠΊΠ°ΠΊΠΎΠ³ΠΎ ΠΌΠ½Π΅ ΡΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΎ Π΄ΠΎΠ²ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ»ΠΎΡΡ Π²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅ΡΡ; unmanageable β Π½Π΅ΡΠΏΡΠ°Π²Π»ΡΠ΅ΠΌΡΠΉ, Π΄ΠΈΠΊΠΈΠΉ; to manage β ΡΠΏΡΠ°Π²Π»ΡΡΡ; ΡΠΏΡΠ°Π²Π»ΡΡΡΡΡ), and, with a mounted warrior on either side to prevent the beast from bolting (ΠΏΡΠΈ ΡΡΠΎΠΌ Π΅Π΄ΡΡΠΈΠ΅ Π²Π΅ΡΡ ΠΎΠΌ Ρ ΠΊΠ°ΠΆΠ΄ΠΎΠΉ ΡΡΠΎΡΠΎΠ½Ρ Π²ΠΎΠΈΠ½Ρ /Π΄ΠΎΠ»ΠΆΠ½Ρ Π±ΡΠ»ΠΈ/ ΠΏΠΎΠΌΠ΅ΡΠ°ΡΡ ΠΆΠΈΠ²ΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠΌΡ ΡΠ²Π°Π½ΡΡΡΡΡ Π²ΠΏΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π΄; to bolt β Π±ΡΠΎΡΠ°ΡΡΡΡΠ²ΠΏΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π΄; ΠΏΠΎΠ½Π΅ΡΡΠΈ/ΠΎΠ»ΠΎΡΠ°Π΄ΠΈ/; bolt β ΡΡΡΠ΅Π»Π°, ΠΎΡΠΎΠ±Π΅Π½Π½ΠΎΠ°ΡΠ±Π°Π»Π΅ΡΠ½Π°ΡΡΡΡΠ΅Π»Π°), we rode forth at a furious pace in pursuit of the column (ΠΌΡ ΠΌΡΠ°Π»ΠΈΡΡ Π²ΠΏΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π΄ Π±Π΅ΡΠ΅Π½ΡΠΌ Π³Π°Π»ΠΎΠΏΠΎΠΌ Π² ΠΏΠΎΠ³ΠΎΠ½Π΅ Π·Π° ΠΊΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠ½Π½ΠΎΠΉ; pursuit β ΠΏΡΠ΅ΡΠ»Π΅Π΄ΠΎΠ²Π°Π½ΠΈΠ΅, ΠΏΠΎΠ³ΠΎΠ½Ρ).

unmanageable [An'mxnIdZqbl], exercise ['eksqsaIz], therapeutic ["Terq'pju:tIk], injury ['IndZ(q)rI]
I was strapped securely to as wild and unmanageable a thoat as I had ever seen, and, with a mounted warrior on either side to prevent the beast from bolting, we rode forth at a furious pace in pursuit of the column. My wounds gave me but little pain, so wonderfully and rapidly had the applications and injections of the female exercised their therapeutic powers, and so deftly had she bound and plastered the injuries.
Just before dark we reached the main body of troops (ΠΊΠ°ΠΊ ΡΠ°Π· ΠΏΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π΄ Π½Π°ΡΡΡΠΏΠ»Π΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ΠΌ ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ½ΠΎΡΡ ΠΌΡ Π΄ΠΎΠ³Π½Π°Π»ΠΈ ΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠ²Π½ΠΎΠΉ ΠΎΡΡΡΠ΄ Π²ΠΎΠΉΡΠΊ) shortly after they had made camp for the night (Π²ΡΠΊΠΎΡΠ΅ ΠΏΠΎΡΠ»Π΅ ΡΠΎΠ³ΠΎ, ΠΊΠ°ΠΊ ΠΎΠ½ΠΈ ΡΠ°Π·Π±ΠΈΠ»ΠΈ Π»Π°Π³Π΅ΡΡ Π½Π° Π½ΠΎΡΡ).

Just before dark we reached the main body of troops shortly after they had made camp for the night. I was immediately taken before the leader, who proved to be the jeddak of the hordes of Warhoon.
Like the jed who had brought me, he was frightfully scarred, and also decorated with the breastplate of human skulls and dried dead hands which seemed to mark all the greater warriors among the Warhoons, as well as to indicate their awful ferocity, which greatly transcends even that of the Tharks.
The jeddak, Bar Comas, who was comparatively young (ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠΉ Π±ΡΠ» ΡΡΠ°Π²Π½ΠΈΡΠ΅Π»ΡΠ½ΠΎ ΠΌΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠ΄), was the object of the fierce and jealous hatred of his old lieutenant (Π±ΡΠ» ΠΏΡΠ΅Π΄ΠΌΠ΅ΡΠΎΠΌ Π»ΡΡΠΎΠΉ ΠΈ ΡΠ΅Π²Π½ΠΈΠ²ΠΎΠΉ Π½Π΅Π½Π°Π²ΠΈΡΡΠΈ Π΅Π³ΠΎ Π±ΠΎΠ»Π΅Π΅ ΡΡΠ°ΡΠΎΠ³ΠΎ Π·Π°ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΈΡΠ΅Π»Ρ), Dak Kova, the jed who had captured me (ΠΠ°ΠΊΠ° ΠΠΎΠ²Ρ, ΡΠΎΠ³ΠΎ Π΄ΠΆΠ΅Π΄Π°, ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠΉ Π·Π°Ρ Π²Π°ΡΠΈΠ» ΠΌΠ΅Π½Ρ), and I could not but note the almost studied efforts (ΠΈ Ρ Π½Π΅ ΠΌΠΎΠ³ Π½Π΅ Π·Π°ΠΌΠ΅ΡΠΈΡΡ ΡΠ΅ ΠΏΠΎΡΡΠΈ ΠΏΡΠ΅Π΄Π½Π°ΠΌΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π½Π½ΡΠ΅ Π΄Π΅ΠΉΡΡΠ²ΠΈΡ; studied β ΠΎΠ±Π΄ΡΠΌΠ°Π½Π½ΡΠΉ, ΠΏΡΠ΅Π΄Π½Π°ΠΌΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π½Π½ΡΠΉ) which the latter made to affront his superior (ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠ΅ ΠΏΠΎΡΠ»Π΅Π΄Π½ΠΈΠΉ ΠΏΡΠ΅Π΄ΠΏΡΠΈΠ½ΠΈΠΌΠ°Π», ΡΡΠΎΠ±Ρ ΠΎΡΠΊΠΎΡΠ±ΠΈΡΡ ΡΠ²ΠΎΠ΅Π³ΠΎ Π½Π°ΡΠ°Π»ΡΠ½ΠΈΠΊΠ°; to affront β ΠΎΡΠΊΠΎΡΠ±Π»ΡΡΡ).

The jeddak, Bar Comas, who was comparatively young, was the object of the fierce and jealous hatred of his old lieutenant, Dak Kova, the jed who had captured me, and I could not but note the almost studied efforts which the latter made to affront his superior.
He entirely omitted the usual formal salutation as we entered the presence of the jeddak, and as he pushed me roughly before the ruler he exclaimed in a loud and menacing voice:
"I have brought a strange creature wearing the metal of a Thark whom it is my pleasure to have battle with a wild thoat at the great games."
