CHAPTER XIII
SURROUNDED BY SAVAGES
"He's coming down on us, Bob!"
"Jump and save yourself, Dave!"
Crack! bang!
The cries and shots were uttered almost at the same time, and the air was instantly filled with smoke, followed by an unearthly squeal from the gorilla, who instantly disappeared from view.
But the beast was not seriously wounded, for the rifle balls had merely nipped his paw and his shoulder, and he was in a terrible rage.
"Is he dead, Bob?"
"Beckon not, for I can hear him climbing through the tree."
"We ought to get away from here, for there may be more of the gorillas about."
