But
now
he
heard
,
outside
,
the
sounds
of
many
voices
,
and
long
mournful
howls
,
and
mighty
wailing
.
He
was
startled
.
732
Had
he
remained
too
long
?
Quickly
he
reached
the
doorway
and
peered
down
the
village
street
toward
the
village
gate
.
733
The
natives
were
not
yet
in
sight
,
though
he
could
plainly
hear
them
approaching
across
the
plantation
.
They
must
be
very
near
.

Like
a
flash
he
sprang
across
the
opening
to
the
pile
of
arrows
.
Gathering
up
all
he
could
carry
under
one
arm
,
he
overturned
the
seething
cauldron
with
a
kick
,
and
disappeared
into
the
foliage
above
just
as
the
first
of
the
returning
natives
entered
the
gate
at
the
far
end
of
the
village
street
.
Then
he
turned
to
watch
the
proceeding
below
,
poised
like
some
wild
bird
ready
to
take
swift
wing
at
the
first
sign
of
danger
.
735
The
natives
filed
up
the
street
,
four
of
them
bearing
the
dead
body
of
Kulonga
.
Behind
trailed
the
women
,
uttering
strange
cries
and
weird
lamentation
.
On
they
came
to
the
portals
of
Kulonga
's
hut
,
the
very
one
in
which
Tarzan
had
wrought
his
depredations
.
736
Scarcely
had
half
a
dozen
entered
the
building
ere
they
came
rushing
out
in
wild
,
jabbering
confusion
.
The
others
hastened
to
gather
about
.
There
was
much
excited
gesticulating
,
pointing
,
and
chattering
;
then
several
of
the
warriors
approached
and
peered
within
.
737
Finally
an
old
fellow
with
many
ornaments
of
metal
about
his
arms
and
legs
,
and
a
necklace
of
dried
human
hands
depending
upon
his
chest
,
entered
the
hut
.

It
was
Mbonga
,
the
king
,
father
of
Kulonga
.
739
For
a
few
moments
all
was
silent
.
740
Then
Mbonga
emerged
,
a
look
of
mingled
wrath
and
superstitious
fear
writ
upon
his
hideous
countenance
.
He
spoke
a
few
words
to
the
assembled
warriors
,
and
in
an
instant
the
men
were
flying
through
the
little
village
searching
minutely
every
hut
and
corner
within
the
palisades
.
