into view not three yards from the
bow Of his own craft.
At the same instant the occupants
OF the stranger discovered the prox =

did not at first recognize the nature
OF the fearful crew. A man In the
bow Of the oncoming boat challenge ed
them just a. the two duNouts were
about to touch.
For answer came tho uenacing
growl OF a panther. and the fellow
found himself gazing into the flaming
eyes OF Shecta. who had raised him

occupants Of the other craft.
Instantly Rokon realized the peril
that confronted him and his fellows.
He gave a quick command'Ao fire upon
the occupants OF the othS canoe. and
II was this volley and ths scream of

With ready revolver to compel obe-

searching them carefully for con-
cealed weapons a. they stood with
hands aevated above their heads.
Once satisfied that they were un-
armed, she set them to work cutting
the cable which held the Kincaid to
her anchorage. for her bold plan was
nothing less than TO set the steamer
adrift and float with her out into the
open sea, there to trust to the mercy
dent would be no more inerc!leS3 than
Nikolas Rokon should he again cap
ture her.
There was. too. the chance that the
kincaid might be sighted by some
passing ship, and a. she was we'll
stocked with provisions and water
tho mon had assured her OF this fact
and as the season or storms was well
over. she had every reason to hope Tor
the eventual success OF her plan.
The night was deeply overcast.
heavy clouds riding low above the
jungle and the water--only to tho
west, where the broad ocean spread
beyond the rivers mouth. was there
a suggestion OF lessening gloom.
1t was q perfect night for the pur.
poses OF tho work in hand.
Her enemies could not see the nc
tivity aboard the ship nor mark her
course a. the swift current bore her
outward into the ocean. Before day
light broke the ebb-tide would have
carried the Kincaid well into the Ben
guela current which flows northward
along the coast Of Africa, and. a. n
south wind was prevailing. Jane
hoped to be out OF sight OF the mouth
become aware Of the departure Of the
steamer.
Standing over the lsboring seamen.
the young woman breathed a sigh OF
relief as the last strand OF the cable
parted and she knew that the vessel
was on It's way out Of the NAV Of the
savage Ugambl.
With her two prisoners still be-
meath the coercing influence OF her
rifle. she ordered them upon deck
with the intention OF again imprison-
ing them In tho forecastle; but at
length she permitted herself to be In
fuenced by their promises OF loyalty
and the arguments which they put
forth that they could be Of service to
her. and permitted them to remain

then. with powerful strokes, he swan
out into the impenetrable night with
no guide save the memory Of An
Elusive cry, and for company the
hideous denixens OF an equatorial
river
The boat that had attracted James
the deck OF the Kincaid had been per-
ceived by Rokoff uron one bank and
Mugambi and the horde upon the
other. The cries OF the Russian had
brought the dugout FIRST to him. and
then, after q conference. II had been
turned toward the Kincaid. but be-
fore ever II covered half the distance
between the shore and the steamer a
rife had spoken from the latter's deck
and one OF the sailors In the bow OF
the canoe had cruInpled and fallen
into the water.
After that they went more slowly,
and presently. when James rife had
found another member OF the party.
the canoe withdrew to the shore.
where it lay as long rs daylight
lasted.
The savage. snarling pack upon the
opposite shore had been directed In
their pursuit by the black warrior.
Mugambi. Only he knew which might
be foe and which friend Of their lost
master.
Could they have reached either the
canoe or the Kincaid they would have
found there. but the gulf Of black
water Intervening shut them OF from
further advance as effectually AZ
though 10 had been the broad ocean
that separated them from their prey.
Mugambi knew something Of tho
occurrences which had led up to the
landing Of Tarzan upon Jungle Island
and the pursuit of the whites up the
Ugambi. He knew that his savage
master sought his wife and child who
had been stolen by the wicked white
>uan whom they had followed far into
thu interior and now back again to
the sea.
He believed also that this same
man had kQled the great white glart
whom he had come to respect and
love as he had heyfr loved the great
est chiefs OF his own people. And so
in the Wild breasf>of Mugambi
burned an iron resolve town to the
side of the wicked ono and wrsak a
terrible vengeance upon him for ma
murder of the apeman.
But when he saw the canoe come
Sdown the river and take In Rokoff;
caid;Sks realized that only by pos
sessing hSpself OF canoe could no
hope tn tffSasport the beasts OF the
enemy.
SO 1t happened thasSsyen before
Jane Clayton fired the first>azAot into
Rokof''s canoe the beasts Of TdfxAa
had disappeared into tho jungle.
After the Russian and his party,
which consisted Of Paulvtch and
the several men ne had left upon the
kincaid to attend to the matter OF
coaling. had retreated before her Are.
Jane realized that IL would be but a
temporary respite from their atten-
tions which she had gained. and with
the conviction came a determination
to make bold and final stroke for
freedom from the menacing threat OF
Rokoff's evil purpose
With this idea In view she opened
negotiations with the two sailors she
had imprisoned In the forecastie. and
having forced their consent to her
plans. upon pain of death should
they attempt disloyalty. che released

the pack he had u definite
purpose In view. II was to
obtain a dugout wherewlth to trans
port the beasts Of Tarzan to the side
of the Kincaid. Nor was he long IN
coming upon the object which he
sought
just at dusk ne found canoe
moored to the bank of a small trlbu-
tary OF the Ugambi at n point where
he had felt certain that he should
find one.
without loss Of time he piled his
hideous fellows into the craft and
showed out into the stream. SO quick
Iy had they taken possession OF the
canoe that the warrior had not no
ticed that 1t was already occupied.
The huddled figure sleeping in the
bottom had entirely escaped his oh
servation In the darkness of the night
that had now fallen.
But no sooner were they afloat than
a savage growing from one OF tle
apeY directly ahead of him In tho
dX> put attracted his attention to-d
ering and covering ng&srr that
.embled betWesu- mn and the great
-au-+rvpUfd. To the Mugambi's aston
ishment he saw that It was a native
woman. With difficulty he kept the
ape from her throat and after "A time
succeeded in ouelling her fears.
1t seemed that she had been fleeing
from marriage with an old man she
loathed and had taken refuge for Ihe
night In the canoe she had found
upon the rivers edge.
Mugambi did not M1AA%HeT pres
epca. hui iihan1s=wHr- Was. and rather
fhan lose time by returning her to
the shore the black permitted her to
remain on board the canoe.
AS quickly as his awkward COM
panions could paddle the dugout
down stream toward the Ugambi and
the Kincaid they moved through tht
darkness. II was with difficulty that
Mugambi could make out the shad-
owy form OF the steamer, but as he
had II between himself and the ocean,
II was much moro apparent to one
upon either shore Of the river.
AZ II approached he was amazed to
note that II seemed to DO receding
from him. and finally he was con.
