As
the
light
in
the
amphitheater
increased
the
females
augmented
the
frequency
and
force
of
their
blows
until
presently
a
wild
,
rhythmic
din
pervaded
the
great
jungle
for
miles
in
every
direction
.
Huge
,
fierce
brutes
stopped
in
their
hunting
,
with
up-pricked
ears
and
raised
heads
,
to
listen
to
the
dull
booming
that
betokened
the
Dum-Dum
of
the
apes
.
Occasionally
one
would
raise
his
shrill
scream
or
thunderous
roar
in
answering
challenge
to
the
savage
din
of
the
anthropoids
,
but
none
came
near
to
investigate
or
attack
,
for
the
great
apes
,
assembled
in
all
the
power
of
their
numbers
,
filled
the
breasts
of
their
jungle
neighbors
with
deep
respect
.
As
the
din
of
the
drum
rose
to
almost
deafening
volume
Kerchak
sprang
into
the
open
space
between
the
squatting
males
and
the
drummers
.
Standing
erect
he
threw
his
head
far
back
and
looking
full
into
the
eye
of
the
rising
moon
he
beat
upon
his
breast
with
his
great
hairy
paws
and
emitted
his
fearful
roaring
shriek
.
One
--
twice
--
thrice
that
terrifying
cry
rang
out
across
the
teeming
solitude
of
that
unspeakably
quick
,
yet
unthinkably
dead
,
world
.
Then
,
crouching
,
Kerchak
slunk
noiselessly
around
the
open
circle
,
veering
far
away
from
the
dead
body
lying
before
the
altar-drum
,
but
,
as
he
passed
,
keeping
his
little
,
fierce
,
wicked
,
red
eyes
upon
the
corpse
.
Another
male
then
sprang
into
the
arena
,
and
,
repeating
the
horrid
cries
of
his
king
,
followed
stealthily
in
his
wake
.
Another
and
another
followed
in
quick
succession
until
the
jungle
reverberated
with
the
now
almost
ceaseless
notes
of
their
bloodthirsty
screams
.
It
was
the
challenge
and
the
hunt
.
When
all
the
adult
males
had
joined
in
the
thin
line
of
circling
dancers
the
attack
commenced
.
