For many minutes before they came in sight of Fort O' God Miki heard the growing sound.

It amazed him, and he stood up on his feet in his cage, rigid and alert, utterly unconscious of the men who were pulling him.

He was looking ahead of them, and Durant chuckled exultantly as they heard him growl, and his teeth click.
"Oui, he will fight! He would fight NOW," he chuckled.
They were following the shore of a lake.

Suddenly they came around the end of a point, and all of Fort O' God lay on the rising shelf of the shore ahead of them.

The growl died in Miki's throat.
