Captain Carter of Virginia.
p20
Within an instant from the moment
the scene broke upon my view
I had whipped out my revolvers
and was charging down
upon the entire army of warriors.
p27
There upon me was the point of that huge spear,
tipped with gleaming metal. p36
Gathering myself together I
'saaked' with such marvelous success
that I cleared a good hundred
and fifty feet. p42
Just as she was disappearing
through the portal of the building
which was to be her prison,
she turned, and her eyes met mine. p59
Sola instructed me in the mysteries
of the various weapons. p18/61
As I approached the captive
girl she gave me one haughty glance
and turned her back full upon
me. p66
Springing upward, I struck him
full in the face
as he turned at my warning cry.
p69
Dejah shrank against me and I felt
her two little hands fold tightly over my arm. p73
She moved of the carriage of
the queen that she was. p88
I promised to tell you my story.
p96
I sprang upward until I grasped
the sill of a second-story window.
p107
I grasped Dejah Thoris by the
hand and sped noiselessly
from the chamber and to the
floor above. p111
Kantos Kan and I were not pitted
against each other. p122
The building in which I found
myself contained the machinery
which produces the artificial
atmosphere which sustains life on Mars. p127
We made our way through
the maze of low flying vessels
until we hung over the Jeddak
of Zodanga. p138
As my machine sank among them
I realized that it was fight or
die. p154
We travelled by night, timing
our marches so that we
camped during the day at deserted
cities. p157
My sword found the spot that made
Sab Than jeddak of Zodanga. p161
He tried a dozen times to express
his gratitude to me,
but his voice choked with emotion
and he could not speak. p168
I can see her shining in the
sky through the little window by my desk. p175
