Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

Several human skulls lay upon the floor.


? ? ? ? Tarzan of the Apes felt of each article, hefted the spears, smelled of them, for he "saw" largely through his sensitive and highly trained nostrils. He determined to own one of these long, pointed sticks, but he could not take one on this trip because of the arrows he meant to carry.


? ? ? ? As he took each article from the walls, he placed it in a pile in the center of the room. On top of all he placed the cooking pot, inverted, and on top of this he laid one of the grinning skulls, upon which he fastened the headdress of the dead Kulonga.


? ? ? ? Then he stood back, surveyed his work, and grinned. Tarzan of the Apes enjoyed a joke.


? ? ? ? But now he heard, outside, the sounds of many voices, and long mournful howls, and mighty wailing. He was startled. Had he remained too long? Quickly he reached the doorway and peered down the village street toward the village gate.


? ? ? ? The natives were not yet in sight, though he could plainly hear them approaching across the plantation.
