There
were
no
formalities
.
As
Terkoz
reached
the
group
,
five
huge
,
hairy
beasts
sprang
upon
him
.
At
heart
he
was
an
arrant
coward
,
which
is
the
way
with
bullies
among
apes
as
well
as
among
men
;
so
he
did
not
remain
to
fight
and
die
,
but
tore
himself
away
from
them
as
quickly
as
he
could
and
fled
into
the
sheltering
boughs
of
the
forest
.
Two
more
attempts
he
made
to
rejoin
the
tribe
,
but
on
each
occasion
he
was
set
upon
and
driven
away
.
At
last
he
gave
it
up
,
and
turned
,
foaming
with
rage
and
hatred
,
into
the
jungle
.

For
several
days
he
wandered
aimlessly
,
nursing
his
spite
and
looking
for
some
weak
thing
on
which
to
vent
his
pent
anger
.
It
was
in
this
state
of
mind
that
the
horrible
,
man-like
beast
,
swinging
from
tree
to
tree
,
came
suddenly
upon
two
women
in
the
jungle
.
He
was
right
above
them
when
he
discovered
them
.
The
first
intimation
Jane
Porter
had
of
his
presence
was
when
the
great
hairy
body
dropped
to
the
earth
beside
her
,
and
she
saw
the
awful
face
and
the
snarling
,
hideous
mouth
thrust
within
a
foot
of
her
.
One
piercing
scream
escaped
her
lips
as
the
brute
hand
clutched
her
arm
.
Then
she
was
dragged
toward
those
awful
fangs
which
yawned
at
her
throat
.
But
ere
they
touched
that
fair
skin
another
mood
claimed
the
anthropoid
.

The
tribe
had
kept
his
women
.
He
must
find
others
to
replace
them
.
This
hairless
white
ape
would
be
the
first
of
his
new
household
,
and
so
he
threw
her
roughly
across
his
broad
,
hairy
shoulders
and
leaped
back
into
the
trees
,
bearing
Jane
away
.
Esmeralda
's
scream
of
terror
had
mingled
once
with
that
of
Jane
,
and
then
,
as
was
Esmeralda
's
manner
under
stress
of
emergency
which
required
presence
of
mind
,
she
swooned
.
But
Jane
did
not
once
lose
consciousness
.
