From a lofty perch1 Tarzan viewed the village of thatched huts across the intervening plantation2.
He saw that at one point the forest touched the village, and to this spot he made his way, lured3 by a fever of curiosity to behold4 animals of his own kind, and to learn more of their ways and view the strange lairs5 in which they lived.
His savage6 life among the fierce wild brutes7 of the jungle left no opening for any thought that these could be aught else than enemies. Similarity of form led him into no erroneous conception of the welcome that would be accorded him should he be discovered by these, the first of his own kind he had ever seen.
Tarzan of the Apes was no sentimentalist. He knew nothing of the brotherhood8 of man. All things outside his own tribe were his deadly enemies, with the few exceptions of which Tantor, the elephant, was a marked example.
And he realized all this without malice9 or hatred10. To kill was the law of the wild world he knew. Few were his primitive11 pleasures, but the greatest of these was to hunt and kill, and so he accorded to others the right to cherish the same desires as he, even though he himself might be the object of their hunt.
His strange life had left him neither morose12 nor bloodthirsty. That he joyed in
