Ukundo and ’Bulala, • swift men of the jungle, had to slacken their pace so that Dick and Doc might .keep up with them, for the boys had been seriously weakened by their captivity and vile food. They were already tired and hungry before the day had fully dawned. Their bare feet, sore and bleed ing, tramped painfully along dim trails. And the naked flesh of their bodies was torn and scratched by the cruel thorns that seemed to reach out to seize them. , . . —■ ... Meanwhile, Tarzan. mounted on Tantor the ele phant, directed his Wajiri warriors In a frantic search for the boys. Through their alert eyes, he scoured vast sections of the gloomy forest, and their many feet were as his own in traveling many trails. . , . . . . But the searchers had not yet reached that territory through which the Bagalla pursued the hapless Tarzan Twins. These fleet cannibals suf fered no handicaps of weakness or tender flesh. And their savage bloodlust was fuel to their power ful muscles. BEN WEBSTER’S CAREER.
