There
was
yet
a
slight
chance
of
reaching
the
cabin
.
He
turned
and
ran
toward
it
,
shouting
an
alarm
to
his
wife
to
run
in
and
close
the
great
door
in
case
the
ape
cut
off
his
retreat
.
212
Lady
Greystoke
had
been
sitting
a
little
way
from
the
cabin
,
and
when
she
heard
his
cry
she
looked
up
to
see
the
ape
springing
with
almost
incredible
swiftness
,
for
so
large
and
awkward
an
animal
,
in
an
effort
to
head
off
Clayton
.
213
With
a
low
cry
she
sprang
toward
the
cabin
,
and
,
as
she
entered
,
gave
a
backward
glance
which
filled
her
soul
with
terror
,
for
the
brute
had
intercepted
her
husband
,
who
now
stood
at
bay
grasping
his
ax
with
both
hands
ready
to
swing
it
upon
the
infuriated
animal
when
he
should
make
his
final
charge
.

"
Close
and
bolt
the
door
,
Alice
,
"
cried
Clayton
.
215
"
I
can
finish
this
fellow
with
my
ax
.
"
216
But
he
knew
he
was
facing
a
horrible
death
,
and
so
did
she
.
217
The
ape
was
a
great
bull
,
weighing
probably
three
hundred
pounds
.
His
nasty
,
close-set
eyes
gleamed
hatred
from
beneath
his
shaggy
brows
,
while
his
great
canine
fangs
were
bared
in
a
horrid
snarl
as
he
paused
a
moment
before
his
prey
.

Over
the
brute
's
shoulder
Clayton
could
see
the
doorway
of
his
cabin
,
not
twenty
paces
distant
,
and
a
great
wave
of
horror
and
fear
swept
over
him
as
he
saw
his
young
wife
emerge
,
armed
with
one
of
his
rifles
.
219
She
had
always
been
afraid
of
firearms
,
and
would
never
touch
them
,
but
now
she
rushed
toward
the
ape
with
the
fearlessness
of
a
lioness
protecting
its
young
.
220
"
Back
,
Alice
,
"
shouted
Clayton
,
"
for
God
's
sake
,
go
back
.
"
