Tarzan the Ape Man Page #4

- Those are the Ubangis...

one of the most feared

and courageous tribes.

Yet they're afraid

of the Mutier escarpment.

It may not be fear. It may be superstition.

To some of them,

the elephant is sacred even alive.

How much more so in death?

- Have they gone?

- Far enough.

One good turn deserves another.

He'll tell us now.

Come on, get up.

He's dead.

Anyone would die

who look at Mutier escarpment.

Poor fellow.

- He died too soon.

- Did he? I wonder.

He was crazy with fear,

yet he managed to point.

And that's the direction

in which he pointed.

And that's the Mutier escarpment, eh?

Yeah, and all we've got to do now

is climb it.

Mother Earth must have

some very particular secret up there...

putting up a wall like that.

Here.

- Why? Is this going to be dangerous?

- No.

All has to be done

according to Hoyle, though.

Look out back there.

It's a bit tricky here.

You all right, Jane?

At the moment.

Be careful.

Steady, Jane. Don't lose your nerve.

We're all right.

What was in that pack, Parker?

Medicines, trade goods.

Poor devil.

That's too bad.

I don't suppose it could be helped.

You all right, now?

Yeah, I'm all right.

How are the rest of the boys?

- All right, bwana.

- All right. Start them going.

Now, Jane, take it easy.

Easy now.

Give me your hand.

Hold her, Holt!

- Parker. Riano.

- Yes, bwana.

Quiet, now.

All right.

- Give me your hand.

- Easy, now.

Give me your hand, dear.

Good girl!

Aren't I a fool, Harry? I'm sorry.

I'll promise to forgive you

if you don't do it again.

Would you like to sit down and rest

for a while?

No, really. I'd rather go on.

- You're quite sure?

- Sure.

Good girl. Come on.

- How are the rest of the boys, Riano?

- All right, bwana.

I don't think we need this anymore.

Let me help you.

Darling, you mind if I flop

for a little while?

It'd do us all good to flop

for a little while.

Anything you want?

Yes, a nice hot bath.

What was that?

Can't say.

- What do you make of it, Riano?

- Maybe hyena, bwana.

Maybe.

Come on.

- That was a human cry.

- Human?

Say, Parker, how do you feel about...

- going on?

- I've had enough.

I know why you're saying that.

And I'm not going to be made

an encumbrance of.

I'm not frightened of a few weird cries.

Now let's get that ivory.

- Riano, come on.

- Yes, master.

- All right, Riano, come on.

- Yes, bwana.

- What's the matter?

- Boys scared, bwana.

You've got your whip.

Give them something else to think about.

- Let's be on our way, come on.

- Quick.

Another barrier.

Does that mean

we lose the elephant tracks?

Yes, but with good luck

we'll pick them up on the other side.
