Slaves, interestingly, do not count as one of the major products in Schendi, in spite of the fact that the port is the headquarters of the Leque of Black Slavers. The black slavers usually sell their catches nearer the markets, both to the north and south. One of the their major markets, to which they generally arrange for the sipment of girls overland, is the Sardar Fairs, in particular that of En'Kara, which is the most extensive and finest.

Some fifty yards into the jungle I stopped. There, ringing a depression, were more than a dozen small men. They wore loincloths with vine belts. From loops on the belts hung knives and small implements. They carried spears and nets. I do not think any of them were more than five feet in height. I doubt that any of them weighted more than eighty pounds. Their features were negroid but their skins were more coppery than dark brown or black. They did not seem to be one of the black races, which are usually tall, long-limbed and supple, but their racial affinities seemed clearly to aligned with one or more of those groups than any others.

There were now some eight canoes behind us. In each canoe there were five or six girls. In the prow of the first canoe was the blond girl who had seemed to be chained at the post. In the prow of the second was the slender-legged, dark-haired girl whom we had seen earlier. She still had the dangling ropes knotted on her wrists.
"Will they overtake us?" cried Alice.
"It is unlikely," I said. "In no canoe there are there more than six paddlers. In this canoe, too, there are six paddlers, and three of these are men."
In less than a quarter of an Ahn we had condsiderably lengthened our lead on our pursuers.
"Do you not recall, Janice," I asked, "in one of the vilages long ago, one of the men inquired if you were taluna?"
"Yes," she said.
"Those behind us," I said, "are talunas."
