Fires of Tohr 11

Carried through a mountain on the surface of an underground river, Tarzan and his friends are captured by a band of yellow giants. Mounted on elephants, the entire company is transported to the distant city of Tor, where the captives are taken before Artea, queen of the yellow men.

Their audience with Artea is interrupted by the arrival of Tongo, a chief of the clawmen, several of whom have been killed by Tarzan's party. Artea informs Tarzan that the laws of Tor Permit a chief to claim the right of avenging the death of any of his men, by personal combat with the one who has slain them.

She adds that Tongo has come to claim that right. Tarzan accepts the challenge, and stands quietly awaiting the attack of the gigantic yellow clawman. Aah! For the roar of fury, Tongo, his great cudgel raised high above his head, leaps for the ape man.

Reeee! Tarzan's answering challenge echoes through the vast chambers. He springs forward to meet the furious attack of the yellow savage. The heathen's too big for him, Lieutenant. I'm going to give him a hand. No more more.

Keep out. Leave him to Tarzan. Watch. In hissing arc, the giants' cudgel descends toward Tarzan's hit. Nimley, the eight man, sidesteps the blow, causing Tongo to plunge awkwardly past him. Again and again, the giant rushes.

His heavy clump, screaming harmlessly through the air, as Tarzan easily avoids each furious assault. Abruptly, the Thormann changes his tactic. Aah! With a howl of gaveled rage, Tongo springs to the side of one of the watching yellow men, With the long double edged sword from its chief of the side and leaps back to renew the attack.
