It's spooky, whispered Dan.
gpt
Like passing a haunted house at midnight.
human
Cheer up, said Dick.
gpt
It's going to be worse when we have to cut a path through it.
human
Just the same, I'd go through worse than this to save your father and my sister.
gpt
I don't suppose my Dad worries as much as we do. Being a scientist, he is seeing so many new plants, animals and birds, that he has no time to get scared. But Ray, poor girl, she must be terrified. If only we can get to her before it is too late!
human
The Mahatma said we would save her.
gpt
But you didn't believe a word he said. You were always kidding him.
human
I believe in him now, said Dan.
gpt
Boy, _how_ I believe in him!
human
I would like him better if he would let us have some of his warriors, said Dick.
gpt
He's doing us a good turn by lending the canoes and showing us how to reach the Muta-Gunga camp but what worries me is that the Taharans and Gorols are not used to this country and won't know much about fighting in the jungle.
human
That's so, they will be at a disadvantage in a battle with these jungle savages who know every inch of the ground, said Dan thoughtfully.
gpt
They're brave enough but it would help if they had a few of the natives of the section to show them the way around.
human
Never mind, we will take a chance, said Dick.
gpt
We're going to win out! And come through with flying colors!
