The Jungle Ant Hill Torture

famous explorer in person. While searching for their father, a famous archaeologist, becomes stranded in a remote part of the Brazilian wild, owing to an

accident to the amphibian plain which carried the party. Mr. Noisse, the famous explorer, comes to the rescue of the children, but inadvertently becomes involved in an Indian uprising, aggravated through the wiles of a pair of white renegades, Butch Grogan and his partner, Lamy Scroggen. Mr. Noisse, Pedro, the two children, and and the planet of the plane are taken prisoners.

A valuable map showing the way to a fabled ink treasure of hidden gold and a secret code belonging to the Brady family are stolen by Grogan. The children, however, manage to gain access to the secret code and destroy it.

Grogan is furious. And in order to compel the children to make a new code from memory, he threatens torture and failed torture. Right now, the children are with Mr. Noise in a little Indian village prison hut.

I'm Mr. Noet. You went to blame because we, Jim and me, tore the secret code and ate it. Tell me, I just wanted Grogan to say when he found out that the secret code was destroyed.

Gosh, Mr. Noist, he hardly said anything. That is, I mean, at first, he was just so mad he couldn't talk. I'll say, his face was as reddish by, and he just sort of puttered, but after he did get some control of himself, well, that was when he promised vengeance on you.

He thinks it was you, Mr. Noise, who put it up to us. He thinks you told us to destroy the code. Huh? Then he decided to make use of the ant hill, huh? Yes, that's Mr. Grogan, all right.
