 Tarzan and the diamond of our share The Tarzan party is searching for Brian Gregory a lost archaeologist Atom Tom and Lyle Tosk who believe Tarzan to be Brian Gregory are following During Dono's recital of Tarzan's past the expedition is endangered by stampeding elephants Tarzan leads the elephants away from the encampment and returns riding the leader of the herd After the other members of the party have gone to bed Wolf apparently convinces Magra that she must steal the map of our share from Helen Gregory Magra consents and cautiously enters Helen's tent Helen Helen by Magra by what's the matter keep your voice low and listen You have a map. What's that? How do you know wait, please? You have a map which shows the city of our share You must not keep that paper or in your tent. What do you know of the map? Who told you never mind who? It is enough that I know of it and if I know there may be others who know You must give this map to Tarzan if you wish to preserve it and keep yourself out of danger. What? Myself out of danger. Oh, why who would want to harm me out here in the jungle? Please Helen? Do as I say but suppose I gave this map to Tarzan Wouldn't that be placing him in this danger danger to Tarzan? Danger to a man who kills lions with a knife Who makes elephants obey his commands? Well, I suppose you're right, but still I don't see. I ask you to trust me Helen You must give this map to Tarzan Well, all right. Have it your own way. I will and you will give it to him in the presence of a sword Yes, I'll do that too if you insist. One thing more. It is better. I do not appear in this You will not mention my name very well. It's all a deep mystery to me But but if it'll make you sleep easier, I'll do as you say now do go to bed a Strange murky flavor hangs in the sultry air of the African night The jungle seems to murmur and breathe its scented breath across the soft dark world Presently over the sleeping camp the night shadows melt into the early gray of daybreak Which in equatorial Africa is almost as short as the lighting of a candle The patterned roof of the forest is etched in the timid green of dawn as the expedition once more gets underway Wolf strides along beside Magra or taking up his post at the rear of the column Oh, you missed again last night What do you suppose take if you don't knife for I searched the tent the map was not there The woman Where you had the knife I didn't you use and rouse the entire camp Magra is no fool And so we start all over again Well, if the map wasn't in that tent, there is it. I do not know But I am sure Helen is not carrying it and it must be the old man If he's got it leave it to me. I will have that map before tomorrow morning Now you know that my friend Phew, this is hot It's worse than Chicago in July. I can't get used to it Yeah, that's not all you will have to get used to in the jungle mr. Piccadilly Yes, I admit this is all new to me, but I'm willing to learn you will Well, I am going back where I belong Some of these boys are inclined to lay down on the job Margaret you've been in the jungle before is it always necessary to break trail like this it slows us up terribly That depends on the region one is in near the equator the vegetation is heavy like this There are sections where it is on this well, I hope we strike better going soon I am anxious to get to this two and Baca country By the way, how far do you go with us? My destination is also in the two and Baca valley In the rear of the column wolf box guttural commands at the sweating bearer He frowns dark lay as his brain grapples with the problem of how to get the map from Helen's father Exasperated he drops to a seat on a great moss covered limb beside the trail and wipes the sweat from his eyes with the back of a Hairy hand behind him a dry twig snaps. He whirled on the back What are you doing here told an unnecessary question wolf? You know why I am here What have you and Margaret done about the map well Margaret search the girls tingles night But no law and you nothing they watch me like a hoe. Oh, have you ever heard of Confucius wolf? Chinaman hmm, what about it? Confucius once said Peek in there's only one gate, but many roads lead to it. Yeah. Yeah, I understand I have tried I show you I get that map tonight. No You will listen to me now and you will do exactly as I say What is it? Is there a medicine man a witch doctor with these natives? Well, of course with a crowd of bearers like we have there's always one He is a valuable man to us wolf That's the idea Suppose with his influence he were to incite the bearers to desert your safari and join mine Then I Am communicating to you one of the roads leading to the begin Wolf I want the Gregory party left alone and unprotected in the jungle This river we're coming to Tarzan do we cross tomorrow? Yes Full of crocodiles the emerald attack us but keep the natives away from the water Yeah, it seems to be some excitement among the natives I hope we're not going to have another such experience as we had the first night out No, they're probably getting ready to hold a ceremony in honor of the river god. It's the u-ling. Yeah But that's nothing on a long safari. What kind of ceremony wolf moves just what their heathen Mumbo trombones It's supposed to drive the crocodiles away. I have seen it often. Mr. Gregory. It is interesting Another beautiful jungle night after a square me like that anything look beautiful Yes, even the boys, but look at them. What are they doing around the big fire? They seem to be putting on some sort of ceremonial garb Look at that old fellow wearing the horn the headdress and prancing around like an Apache chief That is the witch doctor. Mr. Gregory He has more influence with the natives of his tribe, but even their head chief No, yes, I know among our Indians at home the medicine man is a very important person in the jungle The witch doctor is a sub-chief, but as Dono says his influence is great The big fellow leading the dance isn't he the one you calm down the other night? Yes He looks terribly savage in that crocodile headdress and paint You know, he acts as if he might go mad again. I have no fear mums are alien He is merely working himself up to the proper religious excitement. What's in that big today which doctor's making passes over That's what they call it a mum chai chai the voodoo fellow been fixing to put Tarzan's friend to sleep What is this fun chai a dirty mess cooked up from roots and herbs They bark from the pot of garbage tree. It's rotten stuff. I'm strong ever tasted it Now watch the medicine man and the big black will drink from the gourd the old man has hold his hands Then he'll go to sleep and then the fireworks and the big fellow falls down The bitch doctor will start working on You see that he's down already Stop is strong those drums So weird Man has taken a stone from the fire in his bear hat while he's putting it on big fellow's chest He doesn't even seem to feel it. He does not feel it. Mr. Gregory That's it. What I'm going to get some of that stuff from the bitch doctor Give it to the old man The rest will be easy They give this voodoo business been supposed to keep crocodiles away. It ain't much good tonight Look, they're crawling out to the water the crocodile in spite of their monkey business a big fellow to you Stimmin it they get my gun and they come back Larson pays no attention to Tarzan's warning as the hunter approaches the crocodile stops faces the hunter a Bull like war issues from its walk through Get closer and assure himself of a better aim of the dark the sweet leaps over a boulder in his path Fighting he slips and falls the rifle flies from his hands Head strikes the stone days He slumps to the ground with a rush the great saurians up to jaws open and slavering Closes in on its helpless victim in one liking like movement Tarzan leaps to his feet and hurls himself to the
