? ? ? ? All day Tarzan followed Kulonga, hovering above him in the trees like some malign spirit. Twice more he saw him hurl his arrows of destruction--once at Dango, the hyena, and again at Manu, the monkey. In each instance the animal died almost instantly, for Kulonga's poison was very fresh and very deadly.
? ? ? ? Tarzan thought much on this wondrous method of slaying as he swung slowly along at a safe distance behind his quarry. He knew that alone the tiny prick of the arrow could not so quickly dispatch these wild things of the jungle, who were often torn and scratched and gored in a frightful manner as they fought with their jungle neighbors, yet as often recovered as not.
? ? ? ? No, there was something mysterious connected with these tiny slivers of wood which could bring death by a mere scratch. He must look into the matter.
? ? ? ? That night Kulonga slept in the crotch of a mighty tree and far above him crouched Tarzan of the Apes.
? ? ? ? When Kulonga awoke he found that his bow and arrows had disappeared.
