White Magic

Dents, beautiful jungle. Birds of every hue. Ropes of vines interlacing giant trees. Synuous, slimy rivers. Steaming swamp. Barren desert. Undergrowth. Peering, beady eyes. The scream of death. Black laughter. This is Africa. In the village of the Leopardman, the professor and his party saw a farby, a beautiful native girl, apparently transformed herself into a leopard.

This girl, known also as the Witch of the Moon, has peculiar golden skin, yellow eyes, and is a mistress of the art of hypnotism. One of the warriors, jealous of the interest Jack, has aroused in a farby, persuades the Witch Doctor to cast a spell of death on the boy.

which Dr. Fashions an image of Jack. Performs a mysterious ceremony, and the warrior Adako begins piercing the image slowly with a long needle working ever toward the heart. In the hut, Jack complains of pains.

Gradually they creep down his right side. The professor has at a loss until he discovers a few small indentations in the boy's arm and leg. Then the cause dawns on him. Witchcraft. But how can it be, Witchcraft father?

Who'd want to harm Jack? Is it if I'll be the girl? No, not this time. But if I'm not mistaken, it's because of her. How do you feel now, Jack? I... I can't move out of my legs.

Where's McGurrow? Perhaps he can do something. Me? Follow this year? Well, if I'll be, then vanished. You never know where he is. Oh, here he is. Melini, Melini, he'll make fordible talk for little Bwana.

Oh, you know what, Melini? Waria, him speak Malini, for his work of Poteza, Alikkini. I knew it. One of the warriors is jealous of Jack, at least of the interest if Abi takes him. He's got Malini to make a witch charm, and a deadly one at that.
