Recaptured

Tarzan of the Apes, from the novels by Edgar Rice Burrows, with Mr. James H. Pierce as Tarzan, Mr. Juan Burrows as Jane Porter. Professor Porter's party posing as powerful medicine men before the cannibals who have captured them escaped from the cave temple where the witch doctor tried to trap them.

Meanwhile Jane Porter has persuaded Tarzan to let her accompany him on his visit to the Cannibal Crawl in quest of arrows. They are surprised by the blacks and take shelter in a hut. The cheap sun shoots a flaming arrow into the hut.

Letting it on fire. Now, are you ready? Hold your breath. Facing huts cast a lurid glow over the compound.

The blacks leap and yell as they circle the fire trap. At last they've crossed this white double guard of the jungle. Wilder and wilder grows the dance. At last their gods will be appeased. At last the rain gods will send the saving rain.

Inside the hut, Tarzan and Jane sets back from the opening. The roof above them is a blazing inferno. The heat is intense. Tarzan glances through the opening. The natives are in front, dancing and yelling, waiting for them to make their break for safety.

The rows of up-rays, glittering spears and pointed arrows show the eight-man the futility of any attempts should leave that way. Tarzan does not answer. A quick glance at the roof shows him that in a few seconds it will fall in on him.

He grants the strands, tying the pieces of matting to the upright holes. Tails almost the matting away and looks outside. The path to the rear of the hut is clear. In a moment he has the hole big enough to crawl through.
