Your faithful Waziri will rejoice indeed with the
coming ofthat moment, said Usula.
One of the askari saw him and recognized him as
Esteban.
In all the world there is no otherlike him, no
other like Tarzan of the Apes.
The chances are that he could use arifle no better
than he uses his spear and arrows. Kraski had not spoken, but had sat with eyes upon
theground, listening to the others.
The Bolgani have taken them away, cried the
woman.
A similar accident has befallen me, said Esteban.
And by working them in shifts we willtravel much faster and there will be no
grumbling. Im sick of all this grousin, said Throck. I should not besurprised if he
were watching us this minute. No, she said, we mustnot think or speak of anything of
that kind.
We havent a chance in the world,she said. Where
game is plentiful we will hunt and rest. They came,then, and threatened and tortured
our people, until at lastthe warriors told them all. He said that he hadkilled one
of your number who had dared to call himselfTarzan of the Apes.
And by working them in shifts we willtravel much
faster and there will be no grumbling. I should not besurprised if he were watching
us this minute.
I should not besurprised if he were watching us
this minute. Shut up, growled Throck, or well have forty-threethousand pounds more
to divide.
I haint nohigh-brow, I haint nothin but a pug.
Throck is right, said Kraski, quickly, weve beenmuddling long enough. Stow the guff,
Dick, roared Peebles; it wasnt nobodysfault, as far as I can see. The idea is his;
thats the reason I know, replied Kraski. You vouldkill vun of your friends to get
more money. With equal easewill he carry the corpse through the trees of the
forest,far above the ground. Now, thought the ape-man, let them guess who slew
theirfellow if they can.
Fifty stalwart Waziri stepped into viewfrom the
concealing verdure of the surrounding jungle.
Throck is right, said Kraski, quickly, weve
beenmuddling long enough.
He said that he hadkilled one of your number who
had dared to call himselfTarzan of the Apes.
Slowly they filed through thegate way and
disappeared from sight. Do not shoot, cautioned Esteban, or we shall slay youall. I
should not besurprised if he were watching us this minute.
There, said the girl, with a sigh of relief, I
believethat we can see light ahead at last.
I vill say it myself dot tings look brighter,
saidBluber.
