As Tarzan of the Apes hurtled through the trees the discordant1 sounds of the battle between the Abyssinians and the lions smote2 more and more distinctly upon his sensitive ears, redoubling his assurance that the plight3 of the human element of the conflict was critical indeed.
At last the glare of the camp fire shone plainly through the intervening trees, and a moment later the giant figure of the ape-man paused upon an overhanging bough4 to look down upon the bloody5 scene of carnage below.
His quick eye took in the whole scene with a single comprehending glance and stopped upon the figure of a woman standing7 facing a great lion across the carcass of a horse.
The carnivore was crouching8 to spring as Tarzan discovered the tragic9 tableau10. Numa was almost beneath the branch upon which the ape-man stood, naked and unarmed. There was not even an instant's hesitation11 upon the part of the latter—it was as though he had not even paused in his swift progress through the trees, so lightning-like his survey and comprehension of the scene below him—so instantaneous his consequent action.
So hopeless had seemed her situation to her that Jane Clayton but stood in lethargic12 apathy
