Lieutenant
D'Arnot
was
in
the
lead
and
moving
at
a
quick
pace
,
for
the
trail
was
comparatively
open
.
Immediately
behind
him
came
Professor
Porter
,
but
as
he
could
not
keep
pace
with
the
younger
man
D'Arnot
was
a
hundred
yards
in
advance
when
suddenly
a
half
dozen
black
warriors
arose
about
him
.
D'Arnot
gave
a
warning
shout
to
his
column
as
the
blacks
closed
on
him
,
but
before
he
could
draw
his
revolver
he
had
been
pinioned
and
dragged
into
the
jungle
.
His
cry
had
alarmed
the
sailors
and
a
dozen
of
them
sprang
forward
past
Professor
Porter
,
running
up
the
trail
to
their
officer
's
aid
.
They
did
not
know
the
cause
of
his
outcry
,
only
that
it
was
a
warning
of
danger
ahead
.
They
had
rushed
past
the
spot
where
D'Arnot
had
been
seized
when
a
spear
hurled
from
the
jungle
transfixed
one
of
the
men
,
and
then
a
volley
of
arrows
fell
among
them
.
Raising
their
rifles
they
fired
into
the
underbrush
in
the
direction
from
which
the
missiles
had
come
.
By
this
time
the
balance
of
the
party
had
come
up
,
and
volley
after
volley
was
fired
toward
the
concealed
foe
.
It
was
these
shots
that
Tarzan
and
Jane
Porter
had
heard
.
Lieutenant
Charpentier
,
who
had
been
bringing
up
the
rear
of
the
column
,
now
came
running
to
the
scene
,
and
on
hearing
the
details
of
the
ambush
ordered
the
men
to
follow
him
,
and
plunged
into
the
tangled
vegetation
.
In
an
instant
they
were
in
a
hand-to-hand
fight
with
some
fifty
black
warriors
of
Mbonga
's
village
.
Arrows
and
bullets
flew
thick
and
fast
.
Queer
African
knives
and
French
gun
butts
mingled
for
a
moment
in
savage
and
bloody
duels
,
but
soon
the
natives
fled
into
the
jungle
,
leaving
the
Frenchmen
to
count
their
losses
.
Four
of
the
twenty
were
dead
,
a
dozen
others
were
wounded
,
and
Lieutenant
D'Arnot
was
missing
.
Night
was
falling
rapidly
,
and
their
predicament
was
rendered
doubly
worse
when
they
could
not
even
find
the
elephant
trail
which
they
had
been
following
.
