A stands for Archer
? ? ? ? How wonderful! Tarzan almost betrayed his presence in the deep excitement of his discovery.
? ? ? ? But things were commencing to happen below him. The sinewy black arm had drawn the shaft far back; Horta, the boar, was charging, and then the black released the little poisoned arrow, and Tarzan saw it fly with the quickness of thought and lodge in the bristling neck of the boar.
? ? ? ? Scarcely had the shaft left his bow ere Kulonga had fitted another to it, but Horta, the boar, was upon him so quickly that he had no time to discharge it. With a bound the black leaped entirely over the rushing beast and turning with incredible swiftness planted a second arrow in Horta's back.
? ? ? ? Then Kulonga sprang into a near-by tree.
? ? ? ? Horta wheeled to charge his enemy once more; a dozen steps he took, then he staggered and fell upon his side.
