Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? So quickly the virus worked that at the end of a dozen leaps the deer plunged headlong into the undergrowth, dead. Again did Tarzan feast well, but this time he did not sleep.


? ? ? ? Instead, he hastened on toward the point where he had left the tribe, and when he had found them proudly exhibited the skin of Sabor, the lioness.


? ? ? ? "Look!" he cried, "Apes of Kerchak. See what Tarzan, the mighty killer, has done. Who else among you has ever killed one of Numa's people? Tarzan is mightiest amongst you for Tarzan is no ape. Tarzan is--" But here he stopped, for in the language of the anthropoids there was no word for man, and Tarzan could only write the word in English; he could not pronounce it.


? ? ? ? The tribe had gathered about to look upon the proof of his wondrous prowess, and to listen to his words.


? ? ? ? Only Kerchak hung back, nursing his hatred and his rage.


? ? ? ? Suddenly something snapped in the wicked little brain of the anthropoid.
