Many days it was before Tarzan recovered from his victorious battle with Terkoz, the rebellious bull ape. And then, one day, he had another encounter with three of the natives, emerging victor, taking their weapons, ornaments, and wondrous finery. The natives, now thoroughly frightened, believed him some unseen, terrible god.
Unango-Keewati, they called him, the evil spirit of the jungle, believing that those who looked upon him died. So the king ordered arrows and food to be placed just outside the village to appease him. As long as they supplied him with these, they thought, he would not harm them.
cabin. When he came in sight of the beach, a strange and unusual spectacle met his vision. On the placid waters of the land-locked harbor floated a great ship, and on the beach a small boat was drawn up. And men--like himself--were moving about: talking loudly, gesticulating, shaking their fists. Presently a little man laid his hand upon the shoulder of a giant next him, pointing inland. As the big man turned to look, the mean-faced one shot him in the back, tumbling him forward--dead!
The report of the weapon first Tarzan had ever heard, filled him with wonderment. Were such white men his brothers? Presently the men launched the boat, jumped into it and rowed away toward the great ship. Then Tarzan slipped back to the cabin. Everything had been ransacked.
