Kerchak
,
seizing
a
huge
club
from
the
pile
which
lay
at
hand
for
the
purpose
,
rushed
furiously
upon
the
dead
ape
,
dealing
the
corpse
a
terrific
blow
,
at
the
same
time
emitting
the
growls
and
snarls
of
combat
.
The
din
of
the
drum
was
now
increased
,
as
well
as
the
frequency
of
the
blows
,
and
the
warriors
,
as
each
approached
the
victim
of
the
hunt
and
delivered
his
bludgeon
blow
,
joined
in
the
mad
whirl
of
the
Death
Dance
.
Tarzan
was
one
of
the
wild
,
leaping
horde
.
His
brown
,
sweat-streaked
,
muscular
body
,
glistening
in
the
moonlight
,
shone
supple
and
graceful
among
the
uncouth
,
awkward
,
hairy
brutes
about
him
.
None
was
more
stealthy
in
the
mimic
hunt
,
none
more
ferocious
than
he
in
the
wild
ferocity
of
the
attack
,
none
who
leaped
so
high
into
the
air
in
the
Dance
of
Death
.
As
the
noise
and
rapidity
of
the
drumbeats
increased
the
dancers
apparently
became
intoxicated
with
the
wild
rhythm
and
the
savage
yells
.
Their
leaps
and
bounds
increased
,
their
bared
fangs
dripped
saliva
,
and
their
lips
and
breasts
were
flecked
with
foam
.
For
half
an
hour
the
weird
dance
went
on
,
until
,
at
a
sign
from
Kerchak
,
the
noise
of
the
drums
ceased
,
the
female
drummers
scampering
hurriedly
through
the
line
of
dancers
toward
the
outer
rim
of
squatting
spectators
.
Then
,
as
one
,
the
males
rushed
headlong
upon
the
thing
which
their
terrific
blows
had
reduced
to
a
mass
of
hairy
pulp
.
Flesh
seldom
came
to
their
jaws
in
satisfying
quantities
,
so
a
fit
finale
to
their
wild
revel
was
a
taste
of
fresh
killed
meat
,
and
it
was
to
the
purpose
of
devouring
their
late
enemy
that
they
now
turned
their
attention
.
Great
fangs
sunk
into
the
carcass
tearing
away
huge
hunks
,
the
mightiest
of
the
apes
obtaining
the
choicest
morsels
,
while
the
weaker
circled
the
outer
edge
of
the
fighting
,
snarling
pack
awaiting
their
chance
to
dodge
in
and
snatch
a
dropped
tidbit
or
filch
a
remaining
bone
before
all
was
gone
.
Tarzan
,
more
than
the
apes
,
craved
and
needed
flesh
.
Descended
from
a
race
of
meat
eaters
,
never
in
his
life
,
he
thought
,
had
he
once
satisfied
his
appetite
for
animal
food
;
and
so
now
his
agile
little
body
wormed
its
way
far
into
the
mass
of
struggling
,
rending
apes
in
an
endeavor
to
obtain
a
share
which
his
strength
would
have
been
unequal
to
the
task
of
winning
for
him
.
At
his
side
hung
the
hunting
knife
of
his
unknown
father
in
a
sheath
self-fashioned
in
copy
of
one
he
had
seen
among
the
pictures
of
his
treasure-books
.
At
last
he
reached
the
fast
disappearing
feast
and
with
his
sharp
knife
slashed
off
a
more
generous
portion
than
he
had
hoped
for
,
an
entire
hairy
forearm
,
where
it
protruded
from
beneath
the
feet
of
the
mighty
Kerchak
,
who
was
so
busily
engaged
in
perpetuating
the
royal
prerogative
of
gluttony
that
he
failed
to
note
the
act
of
LESE-MAJESTE
.
