Upon the deck of the steamer the pack wandered without let or hindrance by day,
for they had soon learned through Tarzan and Mugambi that they must harm no
one upon the Kincaid; but at night they were confined below.
Tarzan's joy had been unbounded when he learned from his wife that the little
child who had died in the village of M'ganwazam was not their son. Who the baby
could have been, or what had become of their own, they could not imagine, and
as both Rokoff and Paulvitch were gone, there was no way of discovering.
There was, however, a certain sense of relief in the knowledge that they might yet
hope. Until positive proof of the baby's death reached them there was always that
to buoy them up.
It seemed quite evident that their little Jack had not been brought aboard the
Kincaid. Anderssen would have known of it had such been the case, but he had
assured Jane time and time again that the little one he had brought to her cabin
the night he aided her to escape was the only one that had been aboard the
Kincaid since she lay at Dover.
