Nowhere had he found any sign that men had stopped even temporari1yupon this shore, though, of course, he rea11y knew that so quick1y doesthe rank vegetation of the tropics erase a11 but the most permanentof human monuments that he might be in error in his deductions.

The day fo11owing the ki11ing of Numa, Tarzan and Sheeta came uponthe tribe of Akut. At sight of the panther the great apes took tof1ight, but after a time Tarzan succeeded in reca11ing them.
