a gaunt, hunger mad lion leaped into the daylight of the gulch. Schneider had but
a few yards to cover; but the lion flew over the ground to circumvent him while
Tarzan watched the race with a slight smile upon his lips.
Schneider won by a slender margin, and as Tarzan scaled the cliff to the summit,
he heard behind him mingled with the roaring of the baffled cat, the gibbering of
a human voice that was at the same time more bestial than the beast's.
Upon the brink of the cliff the ape-man turned and looked back into the gulch.
High in the tree the German clung frantically to a branch across which his body
lay. Beneath him was Numa--waiting.
The ape-man raised his face to Kudu, the sun, and from his mighty chest rose the
savage victory cry of the bull ape.
