Fires of Tohr 25

Don O'andukar have escaped from the city of Tor. Jannette, quartered in the palace among Ataya's serving women, agrees to find and to give to Wong Thay the key to the Queen's treasure cave, providing that he will, through his influence over Ataya, prevent the combat between Mungal, Chief of the Torian Warriors, and Tarzan.

Don O'andukar locates the camp of the Torian jungle patrol, climb the stockade under cover of night, and make their way cautiously through the sleeping camp toward the picket line of of writing elephants. In the jewel pits to which Tarzan and O'Rourke have been condemned, Kyleuk, a ratorian slave, reports to Tarzan that the ape man's plan of a mutiny among

the slaves has been eagerly accepted by the prisoners who look to Tarzan for leadership. As the ape man and Kyleuk discuss the plan, the huge entrance gates to the pit swing open, seated in a haudas strapped to the back of an enormous elephant, Ataya and Jeanette ride into the enclosure followed by Mungo, Wong Thai and several nobles of the Queen's retinue.

As Aatea paunts the ape man and O'Rourke, the elephant upon which she and Jeanette are mounted takes fright and stampedes directly toward one of the deep open pits. Only St. Patrick's has him. The blutes headed straight for the pit.

The jungle can't stop him. If the best falls into that picture, it'll be killed. Oh, I'm done! I'm done! At the eight-man's call, the stampeding rootlips its trunk, comforting loudly. Slaves and guards alike leap from the powerful frightened beast as it's swiftly nears the edge of the pit.

Oh, I'm done! Then, never lose. I'm done! I'm done! Swift doesn't arrow from a boat, our hands beak along beside the great beast. With almighty bound he leaps into the air, catches a projection on the gilded hada, and the next instant drops a fried the huge neck.
