"It is not much farther," said Tarzan, guessing that the man needed encouragement.
"You are sure the hunter you told us of has not moved his camp?" asked Lady Barbara.
"He was there day before yesterday," replied the ape-man. "I think we shall find him there tonight."
"He will take us in?" asked Smith.
"Certainly just as you would, under similar circumstances, take in anyone who needed assistance," replied the Lord of the Jungle. "He is an Englishman," he added as though that fact in itself were a sufficient answer to their doubts.
They were in a dense forest now, following an ancient game trail; and presently they saw lights flickering ahead.
"That must be the camp," exclaimed Lady Barbara.
"Yes," replied Tarzan, and a moment later he called out in a native dialect.
Instantly came an answering voice; and a moment later Tarzan halted upon the edge of the camp, just outside the circle of beast fires.
Several askaris were on guard, and with them Tarzan conversed for a few moments; then he advanced and lowered Lady Barbara to her feet.
