Tarzan and His Mate Page #2

I don't mind helping you kidnap your lady

as long as we get the other first.

- I'll get it for you, sir. Just a moment.

- Thanks.

You know, if you have money,

women aren't hard to get.

No harm intended, sir.

How much ivory is there really up there?

More than the largest safari

can carry back.

Strange instinct

that leads elephants to one spot to die.

- Fortunate one for us, though.

- I'm not complaining...

if you're sure

you can find the burial ground again.

I made a map of it on the way back.

14-day trek, you say?

With luck,

to the foot of the Mutia Escarpment.

What's that?

The Mutia Escarpment, I mean.

It's a mountain barrier

that divides the Africa we know...

from a country that no white man has

ever seen and come back, except myself.

Natives hold it sacred.

- Taboo?

- Deadly.

It's the Juju of the Masai,

the Wakabaranda...

and all the tribes

from the east to the west coast.

We came across a Zulu warrior once

that had been killed by his tribe...

because he tried to climb it.

What about our safari? How will they feel?

They're mostly village boys.

They'll be frightened.

But I got one safari across.

- How many did you get back?

- Myself.

Promises to be

something more than a pleasure jaunt.

Yes, indeed.

Yes, Saidi.

Need safari boy, bwana. Make new pick.

What are you saying?

We have 50 first-class boys.

The chiefs have promised 200 more

runners once you drum out the call.

- Fifty boy "mu/u,"bwana.

- Gone?

All boy gone make safari

with Bwana Pierce and Bwana Van Ness.

- Pierce and Van Ness?

- What's the matter?

The map!

- Beamish!

- Coming, sir.

- They looked like slippery customers.

- That they were.

- Were Pierce and Van Ness in here again?

- Only for a moment, sir.

Saidi, send out the runners,

drum up the tribes. Get 300 boys.

- How long ago did they leave?

- Sun here, bwana. Three, four hours.

- How soon can we get started, Harry?

- With equipment, six hours.

They'll have 10 hours' start.

Let's go without safari.

We'd be outnumbered

and wouldn't have a chance.

Suppose we don't catch them.

What happens then?

I think I can find the barrier again.

But above that, Tarzan is our only hope.

- Come on, Saidi, keep them going.

- Yes, bwana.

- Saidi!

- Yes, bwana.

Give me a hand here. Here we go, boy.

Take him over here. Take that box.

Tell the boys to take a rest.

- What's the trouble?

- Bearers are done in.

I thought

we'd better give them a breather here.

Tell those boys to keep

the ammunition boxes out of the water.

Yes, bwana.

- How many men have we lost?

- Eight.

We figured 10 for the whole trek.

We didn't figure this pace.

Look at the condition they're in.
