The following morning, Tarzan, lame1 and sore from the wounds of his battle with Terkoz, set out toward the west and the seacoast.
He traveled very slowly, sleeping in the jungle at night, and reaching his cabin late the following morning.
For several days he moved about but little, only enough to gather what fruits and nuts he required to satisfy the demands of hunger.
In ten days he was quite sound again, except for a terrible, half-healed scar, which, starting above his left eye ran across the top of his head, ending at the right ear. It was the mark left by Terkoz when he had torn the scalp away.
During his convalescence2 Tarzan tried to fashion a mantle3 from the skin of Sabor, which had lain all this time in the cabin. But he found the hide had dried as stiff as a board, and as he knew naught4 of tanning, he was forced to abandon his cherished plan.
Then he determined5 to filch6 what few garments he could from one of the black men of Mbonga’s village, for Tarzan of the Apes had decided7 to mark his evolution from the lower orders in every possible manner, and nothing seemed to him a more distinguishing badge of manhood than ornaments8 and clothing.
To this end, therefore, he collected the various arm and leg ornaments he had taken from the black warriors9 who had succumbed11 to his swift and silent noose12, and donned them all after the way he had seen them worn.
