Chapter 5

Mugambi

By the time that Tarzan had travelled entirely about the coast ofthe island, and made several trips inland from various points, hewas sure that he was the only human being upon it.

Nowhere had he found any sign that men had stopped even temporarilyupon this shore, though, of course, he really knew that so quickly doesthe rank vegetation of the tropics erase all but the most permanentof human monuments that he might be in error in his deductions.

The day following the killing of Numa, Tarzan and Sheeta came uponthe tribe of Akut. At sight of the panther the great apes took toflight, but after a time Tarzan succeeded in recalling them.
