 Tarzan of the apes brought to you from out the pages of medgar rice borrows fascinating book Let me support close that door someone what was it? I'm not sure I believe it's an arrow mr. Clayton is right. It is an arrow me no moment your professor Do not touch it the natives in these parts use poison arrows wherever it was must be Fearless come so close to the hut with all these sailors moving about me here at the beach not fearless, mr. Milly cautious What is it? Oh, pardon me come come Clayton out with it You're not the man to pass remarks without reason. I prefer not to say anything But mr. Clayton surely in a matter of such importance to mr. The professor very well This arrow is like a dozen others I saw in Tarzan's quiver of course Clayton you're entitled to your opinion that this jungle man who has Arrested us is Tarzan But on the other hand how do you explain the fact that the jungle man neither? Understands nor talks English yet yet. We have here a Tangible evidence in the shape of a printed warning signed by himself, but Tarzan does Understand English and and quite well, too. I don't pretend to be able to explain it. I feel it Incidentally, I'm probably wrong in all of my deductions If this jungle man is not the one who fired the arrow Then who is this is my explanation? Then if the cannibal shot the arrow and since I myself have seen similar arrows in the eight man's quiver It seems reasonable to assume that the eight man has some contact with the cannibal as to that of course we cannot answer no Exactly, I shall go and question the man as to whether or not any of them saw anything But I think not if they had I feel sure they would have mentioned it You bring up a very important point Clayton Very important very disconcerting very disconcerting because it disconcerted me was the reason I was low to mention it But we might as well face the fact all very puzzling For the life of me I cannot see why this man should have been so solicitous about our welfare and then acting the manner you suggest Except that of course Clayton fired at him last night and he may have returned to revenge himself No, sorry for lander, but that is not the answer either You see the fellow when I fired at him disappeared into the tree if he had wished to kill me He would have done it then Comfortably without fear of detection. Yes. Yes, Clayton. You're right and that makes it all the more reasonable That the arrow was shot by one of the black but great Scott professor We've been here for weeks and have never seen hide nor hair of the black and now because of two or three footprints on a poisoned Arrow we jumped at the conclusion that the jungle is infested with cannibals very true Clayton and very puzzling very Very puzzling of course Phil and of course we mustn't discount that drumming We heard the day before Jane was captured. That's quite right And also we have done those words for it, but there are cannibals quite close with him all that puzzles me is Why have we not seen or hurt them before? A Demand saw and heard nothing, but we have discovered footprints under many of them Then if Jane is in the hands of the blacks, she must be nearby in a very short time It will be daylight. We shall follow them the trail and I pray the bond your wealth grant us success For the jungle the topic dawn flings myriad fingers of iridescent life Jane for her in the root shelter built for her by Tarzan weeks And lies listening to the muted voice of the wakening jungles Fog of the night before has disappeared and the patch of sky above shows hard and bright down by the water hole Jungle beasts make way for the majestic bulk of Tantor the elephant Jane brushes aside the leafy screen of her resting place and looks out Tarzan is gone She rises and moves out onto the platform looks about her there coming through the middle terrace his arms piled high with fruit His Tarzan. Good morning. Why skin you're up early Early the eighth man lays the fruit on the mossy carpet and springs into the branches Tender day he lifts Jane and gracefully easily carries her to the ground Jane hungry eat. Yes, why skin Jane hungry eat Together they sit down to a breakfast of wild fruit the heir to the gravestoke land and titles and this American girl Jane Porter who believes that Cecil Clayton is the heir to gravestoke and that somewhere in this wild jungle Clayton her father and Philander are searching for her Jane holds a wild plum toward Tarzan Plum white skin plum plum plum plum plum plum plump plump plump plump plump white skin White skin you learn easily quickly quick quickly Quickly yes white skin, but you have a little difficulty with that one one. Yes one Jane holds up one finger then two and repeats the numbers alternately one two one two one two one two one two Jane one white skin one Jane White skin to Count no no no no no no no no that's too hard Jane picks up the quiver of arrows that Tarzan has laid aside when he sat down to eat the eight man quickly takes them from her Drawing one of the arrows from the quivery points to the darkness mudged tip kill Kill quick kill Poisoned Tarzan looks puzzled. He has just learned the word kill used it as he believes in the proper sense and now He looks inquiringly at Jane. Yes white skin Kill Jane makes a gesture of repugnance as she crossed the arrow from her But Tarzan springs to his feet turns and helps Jane to hers He takes the bow and fitting an arrow to the string motions to the girl to stand in front of it Jane grips the bow Tarzan faces his hand about hers one Two I understand one Two and Tarzan repeats the one two as he places Jane's first finger above the arrow the second below it And pulls the boat string taught While Jane is receiving her first lesson in archery Cleetan professor Porter Philander and the sailors under lieutenant darno start on their safari Well in some ways, I'm sorry to see the end of this hut and another I'm glad inactivity drives me wild Can't find Jane hanging around this hut. Yes, Cleetan doing doing anything no matter how useless it appears is better than Hinking Hinking Hinking all the time. Abbey out. Are we ready? The ship will leave in just a little time to go back down the course Quite ready. I will close the door. I think it's better. Yes, Belanda Although there is something final about closing a door Till I think perhaps We had better leave it as We found it. Come on. You don't want to get separated While Jane Porter is being practicing the flow and arrow She's been actively turning her over in her mind phrases words with which she can convey to white skin She calls Tarzan not knowing that he is Tarzan Phrases that will let him understand her wish that she must return to the hot Jane Tarzan lowers the bow Jane steps close to him She pretends to struggle with him raising and lowering her arm as our hand held a knife She unacts the scene of Tarzan killing a Turcars white skin kill is White skin go go quickly white skin kill Turcars Jane fight can go go quickly. Yes. Yes, but oh if I could only make you understand For the moment James stands undecided if only she had some way to get white skins mind directed toward the hot Quickly she thinks again of the various words white skin has learned Fire it couldn't have been the hot white skin would have been upset. What could it have been? The beacon the beacon Clayton built that's it then then there must be a ship Jane go fire fire fire Tarzan indicate the fire was blown out. Yes. Yes fire out Jane white skin go fire Tarzan grasps the meaning he bends down picks Jane gently from her feet and leaps into the low-hanging branches Swiftly unerring me from branch to branch fine divine the ape man carries the girl upward and onward Maybe rescued after all. Oh hurry white skin hurry hurry. Yes go go quickly and Tarzan Understanding Jane's excitement speeds with all in his arms toward the hut and the ship
