Bisbee daily review., 1914-05-22

He lay thus for some time. watching the receding and rapidly diminishing lights uf the steamer without it ever once occurring io him to call for help. He never had caIled for help in his life uud SO it is not strange that he did not think of it now Always had he de- pended upon his owu' prowess and re- s0urccfulness. nor had there ever been since the days of KaIa any to answer 8u appeal for succor When 1t did oc- eur Co him lt was too late. There was. thought larzau. a possible one chance iu hundred thousand that he might | be picked mp and an even smaller chance tult he would reach land, so he determined that Go combine what slight chances there were be would swim slowly in the direction of the coast the ship might have been closer in than be bad known
 His strokes were long and easy--it would be many hours before those l giant muscles would commence to feel fatigue As be swan, guided toward the east by the stars. he noticed that he felt the weight of his shoes, and so be removed them His trousers went next, and he would have remov- ed his coat at the same time but for the precious papers in its pocket To ! reassure himself that he still had them ! he slipped his hand iu to feel, but tO his consternation they were gone. l Now he knew that something more than revenge had prompted Rokon to pitch him overheard. The ape-man swore softly and Jet bis coat and shirt sink into the Atlantic. Before many hours he had divested himself of his remaining garments and was swim ming easily and unencumbered toward the east
 The first faint evidence Of dawn was paling the stars ahead of him when the dim outlines of a low lying black mass loomed up directly in his track. A few strong strokes brought him to it's side-it was the bottom of a wave washed derelct. Tarzan clambered upon it-he would rest there until day light at least He curled up upon the slimy tmbers and was soon asleep. 1 The heat of the sun awoke him early in the forenoon. His first conscious ] sensation was of thirst, which grew almost to the proportions of suffering with full returning consciousness, but a moment later 1t was forgotten in the ! joy of two almost simultaneous discOy- i cries. The first was a mass of wreck ] age floating beside the derelict, in the 1 midst of which, bottom up, rose and 1 fell an overturned lifebGt The other was the faint. dim line J1 a far distant l shore showing on the horizon in the east
 Tarzan dove into the water and swan around the wreck to the life
 boat. The cool ocean refreshed him : almost as much as would a draft of water. SO that it was with renewed vigor that he brought the smaller boat alongside the derelict and after many
 herculean efforts succeeded in drag ging it on to the sllmy ships bottom.
 There he righted and examined it.
 The boat was quite sound and a mo-
 ment later d0ated upright alongside
 the wreck Then Tarzan selected sev'
 eral pieces of wreczage that might an swer him as paddles and presently was
 making good headway toward the far
 off shore
 It was late in the afternoon by tho
 hme he came close enough to distin
 guish objects on land or to make ou
 the contour of the shore line. BeforC
 him lay what appeared to be the en
 trance to a little, landlocked harbor
 The wooded point to the north was
 strangely familiar Could it be possi
 hle that fate had thrown him mp u
 the very threshold of his own beloved
 junglel But as the bow of his boat en
 tered the meuth of the harbor the lae
 shred of doubt was cleared away, l0l
 there before him upon the farther
 shore, under the shadows of bis prime
 val forest, stood bis own cabin-buil
