Of the Englishman and his fancee was
n continual nightmare of horror, and
yet they lived on in hope of ultimate
rescue.
Jane Porter's thoughts often reverted
to her other experience on this savage
shore. All. If the invincible forest god
Of that dead past were but with them
now. She could not well refrain from
comparing the scant protection afford
ed her by Clayton with what she might
have expected had Tarzan Of the Apes
been for a single instant confronted by
the sinister and menacing attitude Of
NJ. Thuran.
A scant five miles north Of their rude
shelter, all unknown to them and prac-
tically as remote as though separated
by thousands of miles Of impenetrable
jungle, lay the snug little cabin Of Tar
IAN Of the Apes. while farther up the
coast. a few miles beyond the cabin. In
crude but well built shelters. lived a
little party Of eighteen souls-the occu
pants Of the three boats from the Lady
Alice from which Clayton's boat had
become separated.
Over a smooth sea they had rOwed to
the mainland in less than three days.
None Of the horrors Of shipwreck had
been theirs, and. though depressed by
sorrow and suffering from the shock
Of the catastrophe and the unaccus-
toned hardships of their new exist
ence. there vas none much the worse
for the experience.
All were buoyed by the hope that the
fourth boat had been picked up and
that a thorough search Of the coast
would be quickly made. AS all the
firearms and ammunition on the yacht
had been placed in Lord Tennington's
boat. the party was well equipped for
defense and for hunting the larger
game for food.
Professor Archimedes Q. Porter was
their only immediate anxiety. Fully
assured in his own mind that his
daughter had been picked up by a pass
ing steamer. he gave over the last yes
tige Of apprehension concerning her
welfare and devoted his giant intellect
solely to the consideration Of those
momentOus and abstruse scientific
problems which he considered the only
proper food for thought in one of his
erudition. His mind appeared blank to
the influence of all %extraneous matters.

Samuel T. Philander to Lord Tenning-
ton. ''never has Professor Porter been

winding passage until at length they
came to n closed door. Here he heard
her fumbling with Il key. and present
ly came the sound of a metal bolt graf
ing against metal. The door swung in
on scraping hinges, and they entered.

Then she went II and. closing the

Where TarZan stood it was dark as

could penetrate the utter blHckness.

ground. Small pieces of granite OF
various sizes were ~ingeniously laid to-
gether without mortar to construct
these ancient foundations.
The first time around the walls Tar.
zan thought he detected a strange phe.
nomenon for a room with no windows
and but a single door. Again he crept
carefully around close TO the wall. No,
he could not be mistaken! He paused
before the center Of the wall opposite
the door. For a moment he stood quite
~motionless, then he moved a few feet
to one side. Again he returned, only
to move a few feet to the other side.
There was no doubt Of It. A distinct
draft of fresh air was blowing into the
chamber through the interstices of the
masonry at that particular pOint-and
nowhere else.
Tarzan tested several pieces OF the
granite which made up the wall at this
spot and finally was rewarded by find
ing one which lifted out readily. II

corridors of gloom, until finally they
came to IA small chamber into which a
little light filtered through a stone graf
ing in the ceiling.

the crumbling walls until she gained
the chamber. Through the stone graf

to illuminate the interior.
"They are furious were her first
