THE SACRED SAURIAN ~ 1932.11.27
32.11.27
As Tarzan indicated that he was hungry, the monkey-man repeated the gesture. Every gesture that Tarzan made the monkey-man repeated until Tarzan swung off through the trees to rescue Von Harben and then to hunt for food. But always the monkey-man did exactly as Tarzan did. At the river bank Tarzan repaired the broken end of the fibre rope and hurled it across to his friend Von Harben. When the rope was made fast at both ends, Von Harben swung himself hand over hand across the perilous stream. After the explorer landed safely and greetings were exchanged, Tarzan pointed to the stream of crocodiles.

"We need go no farther for food," he said. Swinging his fibre rope lasso the ape-man caught the crocodile, and, as the rope tightened and held fast in the notches of the saurian's skin, Tarzan pulled hard ashore. With Von Harben's aid, he tied the crocodile until it was helpless. Tarzan was abouit to cut the crocodile steaks for the explorer  and the monkey-man but when he indicated that the stranger should join them the monkey-man, in a frenzy of rage picked up the knife and made as if to strike!
