His first night in the jungle was one which the son of Tarzan held longest in his memory. No savage1 carnivora menaced him. There was never a sign of hideous2 barbarian3. Or, if there were, the boy's troubled mind took no cognizance of them. His conscience was harassed4 by the thought of his mother's suffering. Self-blame plunged5 him into the depths of misery6. The killing7 of the American caused him little or no remorse8. The fellow had earned his fate. Jack9's regret on this score was due mainly to the effect which the death of Condon had had upon his own plans. Now he could not return directly to his parents as he had planned. Fear of the primitive10, borderland law, of which he had read highly colored, imaginary tales, had thrust him into the jungle a fugitive12. He dared not return to the coast at this point—not that he was so greatly influenced through personal fear as from a desire to shield his father and mother from further sorrow and from the shame of having their honored name dragged through the sordid13 degradation14 of a murder trial.
With returning day the boy's spirits rose. With the rising sun rose new hope within his breast. He would return to civilization by another way. None would guess that he had been connected with the killing of the stranger in the little out-of-the-way trading post upon a remote shore.
