Had
the
opportunity
presented
itself
he
would
have
escaped
,
but
solely
because
his
judgment
told
him
he
was
no
match
for
the
great
thing
which
confronted
him
.
And
since
reason
showed
him
that
successful
flight
was
impossible
he
met
the
gorilla
squarely
and
bravely
without
a
tremor
of
a
single
muscle
,
or
any
sign
of
panic
.
In
fact
he
met
the
brute
midway
in
its
charge
,
striking
its
huge
body
with
his
closed
fists
and
as
futilely
as
he
had
been
a
fly
attacking
an
elephant
.
But
in
one
hand
he
still
clutched
the
knife
he
had
found
in
the
cabin
of
his
father
,
and
as
the
brute
,
striking
and
biting
,
closed
upon
him
the
boy
accidentally
turned
the
point
toward
the
hairy
breast
.
As
the
knife
sank
deep
into
its
body
the
gorilla
shrieked
in
pain
and
rage
.
But
the
boy
had
learned
in
that
brief
second
a
use
for
his
sharp
and
shining
toy
,
so
that
,
as
the
tearing
,
striking
beast
dragged
him
to
earth
he
plunged
the
blade
repeatedly
and
to
the
hilt
into
its
breast
.
The
gorilla
,
fighting
after
the
manner
of
its
kind
,
struck
terrific
blows
with
its
open
hand
,
and
tore
the
flesh
at
the
boy
's
throat
and
chest
with
its
mighty
tusks
.
For
a
moment
they
rolled
upon
the
ground
in
the
fierce
frenzy
of
combat
.
More
and
more
weakly
the
torn
and
bleeding
arm
struck
home
with
the
long
sharp
blade
,
then
the
little
figure
stiffened
with
a
spasmodic
jerk
,
and
Tarzan
,
the
young
Lord
Greystoke
,
rolled
unconscious
upon
the
dead
and
decaying
vegetation
which
carpeted
his
jungle
home
.
A
mile
back
in
the
forest
the
tribe
had
heard
the
fierce
challenge
of
the
gorilla
,
and
,
as
was
his
custom
when
any
danger
threatened
,
Kerchak
called
his
people
together
,
partly
for
mutual
protection
against
a
common
enemy
,
since
this
gorilla
might
be
but
one
of
a
party
of
several
,
and
also
to
see
that
all
members
of
the
tribe
were
accounted
for
.
It
was
soon
discovered
that
Tarzan
was
missing
,
and
Tublat
was
strongly
opposed
to
sending
assistance
.
Kerchak
himself
had
no
liking
for
the
strange
little
waif
,
so
he
listened
to
Tublat
,
and
,
finally
,
with
a
shrug
of
his
shoulders
,
turned
back
to
the
pile
of
leaves
on
which
he
had
made
his
bed
.
But
Kala
was
of
a
different
mind
;
in
fact
,
she
had
not
waited
but
to
learn
that
Tarzan
was
absent
ere
she
was
fairly
flying
through
the
matted
branches
toward
the
point
from
which
the
cries
of
the
gorilla
were
still
plainly
audible
.
Darkness
had
now
fallen
,
and
an
early
moon
was
sending
its
faint
light
to
cast
strange
,
grotesque
shadows
among
the
dense
foliage
of
the
forest
.
Here
and
there
the
brilliant
rays
penetrated
to
earth
,
but
for
the
most
part
they
only
served
to
accentuate
the
Stygian
blackness
of
the
jungle
's
depths
.
