Have you a proper weapon for me to fight with ?" "I have no weapon at all," confessed Inga.
"Then let us use argument and persuasion instead of fighting.

For instance, if we could persuade the warriors of Regos to lie down, and let me step on them, they would be crushed with ease." Prince Inga had expected little support from the King, so he was not discouraged by this answer.

After all, he reflected, a conquest by battle would be out of the question, yet the White Pearl would not have advised him to go to Regos and Coregos had the mission been a hopeless one.

It seemed to him, on further reflection, that he must rely upon circumstances to determine his actions when he reached the islands of the barbarians.
By this time Inga felt perfect confidence in the Magic Pearls.

It was the White Pearl that had given him the boat, and the Blue Pearl that had given him strength to row it.
