? ? ? ? When Tarzan came in sight of the beach where stood his cabin, a strange and unusual spectacle met his vision.
? ? ? ? On the placid waters of the landlocked harbor floated a great ship, and on the beach a small boat was drawn up.
? ? ? ? But, most wonderful of all, a number of white men like himself were moving about between the beach and his cabin.
? ? ? ? Tarzan saw that in many ways they were like the men of his picture books. He crept closer through the trees until he was quite close above them.
? ? ? ? There were ten men, swarthy, sun-tanned, villainous looking fellows. Now they had congregated by the boat and were talking in loud, angry tones, with much gesticulating and shaking of fists.
? ? ? ? Presently one of them, a little, mean-faced, black-bearded fellow with a countenance which reminded Tarzan of Pamba, the rat, laid his hand upon the shoulder of a giant who stood next him, and with whom all the others had been arguing and quarreling.
