And in the end he had to face Thuba Mleen, whose weak ferocity he had not imagined. For one day the sailor told me he had found a ship, and I met him no more after that in the tavern drinking rum.

r I wanted to know for certain what it was that had made desolate that beautiful city, Bethmoora, and why they fled from it swiftly in a day. "Was it because of the Desert's curse?" I asked. And he said, "Partly it was the fury of the Desert and partly the advice of the Emperor Thuba Mleen, for that fearful beast is in some way connected with the Desert on his mother's side." And he told me this strange story: "You remember the sailor with the black scar, who was there on the day that you described when the messengers came on mules to the gate of Bethmoora, and all the people fled. I met this man in a tavern, drinking rum, and he told me all about the flight from Bethmoora, but knew no more than you did what the message was, or who had sent it. However, he said he would see Bethmoora once more whenever he touched again at an eastern port, even if he had to face the Devil. He often said that he would face the Devil to find out the mystery of that message that emptied Bethmoora in a day. HER BUT I INTERRUPTED HIM FOR I WANTED TO KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT IT WAS THAT HAD MADE DESOLATE THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY BETHMORA AND WHY THEY FLED FROM IT SWIFTLY IN A DAY WAS IT BECAUSE OF THE DESERT'S CURSE I ASKED AND HE SAID PARTLY IT WAS THE FURY OF THE DESERT AND PARTLY THE ADVICE OF THE EMPEROR THUBENEEN FOR THAT FEARFUL BEAST IS IN SOME WAY CONNECTED WITH THE DESERT ON HIS MOTHER'S SIDE AND HE TOLD ME THIS STRANGE STORY YOU REMEMBER THE SAILOR WITH THE BLACK SCAR WHO WAS THERE ON THE DAY THAT YOU DESCRIBED WHEN THE MESSENGERS CAME ON MULES TO THE GATE OF BETHMORA AND ALL THE PEOPLE FLED I MET THIS MAN IN A TAVERN DRINKING RUM AND HE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT THE FLIGHT FROM BETHMORA BUT KNEW NO MORE THAN YOU DID WHAT THE MESSAGE WAS OR WHO HAD SENT IT HOWEVER HE SAID HE WOULD SEE BETHMORAH ONCE MORE WHENEVER HE TOUCHED AGAIN AT AN EASTERN PORT EVEN IF HE HAD TO FACE THE DEVIL HE OFTEN SAID THAT HE WOULD FACE THE DEVIL TO FIND OUT THE MYSTERY OF THAT MESSAGE THAT HAD EMPTIED BETHMORA IN A DAY
