  Speaker 1: Chapter nine. Far away, at the edge of the jungle,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: fifty Eben warriors were camped in a grassy clearing. They
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: were fine, stalwart men, with regular features and strong white teeth.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: One of them was strumming upon a crude, strained instrument,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: while two of his fellows were dancing in the firelight
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that gleamed back from the glossy velvet of their skin.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Their weapons, laid aside, were within easy reach, and many
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of them still wore the plumed head dress of their tribe.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Their stern faces were lighted by smiles, for this was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: their hour of relaxation following a hard day of fruitless search.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: A giant white man, swinging through the trees approached the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: camp of the fifty warriors. He was naked but for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a leopard skin, and armed only with a long rope
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and a hunting knife. Through the darkness of the jungle,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he moved with perfect sureness and an utter silence. Numa,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the hunting lion down wind from him, caught his scent
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and growled. It was a scent that Numa knew well
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and feared. It was not alone the scent of man.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It was the scent of the man. Presently he dropped
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: lightly to the ground beside the camp. Instantly the warriors
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: were upon their feet, their weapons ready in their hands.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It is I, my children, said the man. It is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I Tarzan of the apes. The warriors tossed aside their weapons.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Welcome big Banna, Welcome Tarzan. They called. What luck Muviro,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: demanded the ape man. None, master replied, a mighty black.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: We have searched in all directions, but we have seen
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: no spoor of the white boys, nor, I said Tarzan.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I am half convinced that the Mugala whom we questioned
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a week ago, lied to us when he said that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they had come to his village, and that Gala Gala,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: their chief, had sent them on towards my country with
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: some friendly Carindo traders. Tomorrow we shall set out for
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the village of Galagala. End of Chapter nine eight
