He instantly saw the three motionless figures, Brett, Winter, and Robert Hume-Frazer.
They sprang forward.

Robert was quickest, and reached the open window first.

The Japanese jumped back and made for the door, but it opened in his face, and David entered the room.

Behind him was Holden, who made no secret of the fact that he carried a revolver.
Ooma caught the astounded man-servant by the waist, lifted him as though he were a truss of straw, and threw him bodily at Robert Frazer and Winter, bringing both to the ground by this singular weapon.
It was a fatal mistake to attack the readiest means of exit.

Had he used his human battering ram against Holden and David he might have escaped.
But now he looked into the muzzle of another revolver, and heard Brett's stern demand: "Hands up, Ooma! If you move you are a dead man ?" Nevertheless, he did move.
