Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

The black warrior was furious and frightened, but more frightened than furious. He searched the ground below the tree, and he searched the tree above the ground; but there was no sign of either bow or arrows or of the nocturnal marauder.


? ? ? ? Kulonga was panic-stricken. His spear he had hurled at Kala and had not recovered; and, now that his bow and arrows were gone, he was defenseless except for a single knife. His only hope lay in reaching the village of Mbonga as quickly as his legs would carry him.


? ? ? ? That he was not far from home he was certain, so he took the trail at a rapid trot.


? ? ? ? From a great mass of impenetrable foliage a few yards away emerged Tarzan of the Apes to swing quietly in his wake.


? ? ? ? Kulonga's bow and arrows were securely tied high in the top of a giant tree from which a patch of bark had been removed by a sharp knife near to the ground, and a branch half cut through and left hanging about fifty feet higher up. Thus Tarzan blazed the forest trails and marked his caches.
