to have about the house.

And all of those.

Oh, aren't they grand?

Captain Fry.

There's your Mutia Escarpment,

Mr. Parker.

All right, push them along, Bomba.

Stir them up with that kaibok.

Captain Fry!

Juju, bwana.

Oh, why not take a tip from their natural

instincts, sir, and let the whole thing go.

- I mean, this is Gaboni country.

- Right.

Till I think of a way to push these boys,

it looks like we'll stay here.

We camp here, Bomba. No tents.

Send one of the boys for water.

Why, you little...

What is it?

You pretty creature.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry I was such a nuisance.

Well, I'd rather not have to do any more

shooting while we're around here.

- Water yet?

- Water not yet, bwana.

Send another boy.

Gabonis. Get the men ready to move.

Still clear on the juju side.

We'll cross the river and make a run for it.

Get them together, Bomba.

Hey, we won't leave that. Quickly!

- What was it? An animal?

- Whatever it was, we should be grateful.

Grateful to the Gabonis too, I suppose,

what's left of us.

We've got no choice now.

Get the men started, Bomba.

We're going up.

Men say no go, bwana. Men say juju.

All right, let them stay.

See how they like the Gabonis.

That was a close thing.

Blinking close.

Blimey. I wouldn't climb another step,

not even to get up to heaven.

Maybe you're nearer than you think.

We camp here, Bomba. Tents.

We're not gonna make

permanent camp here, are we?

The escarpment's a bit too big

to comb end to end...

...for your cousin

and her white ape friend.

So we shall have to devise some means

to get them to come and visit us.

How on earth are we going to do that?

That's a matter to which I've given

considerable thought.

I'll figure it out.

Supposing he does come and try

and set his friends free...

...isn't he liable to be a bit

unpleasant?

That's a question I shall better

be able to answer by tomorrow morning.

- What do you say, Rawlins?

- I never spoke, sir.

I think we better turn in

and give our little plan a chance.

- Yes. Good night, Captain Fry.

- Good night.

I'll just have a last look around

with Rawlins.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Night, Rita.

- Good night.

- Is it ready?

- Ready as butter, sir.

If it's not sprung tonight,

take it down by sunrise.

Yes, sir.

Governor? It was a very good idea,

bringing in this cage.

All he has to do is to step in here

to free this ape...

...the trap will spring and we have him.

- Rawlins, you're a genius.

Yes, sir.

- Captain Fry, do you hear what I heard?

- What did you hear?

Sounded like the cry we heard

below the escarpment.

Don't you think what you both need most

is a good night's sleep?

I shall have a gun tonight.
