The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs: The sentry was pointing in this direction, and the corporal,
through narrowed lids, was searching the distance. Captain Jacot
rose to his feet. He was not a man content to see through the eyes
of others. He must see for himself. Usually he saw things long
before others were aware that there was anything to see--a trait
that had won for him the sobriquet of Hawk. Now he saw, just
beyond the long shadows, a dozen specks rising and falling
among the sands. They disappeared and reappeared, but always
they grew larger. Jacot recognized them immediately. They were
horsemen--horsemen of the desert. Already a sergeant was running
toward him. The entire camp was straining its eyes into the distance.
