"You were kind to me to whom none is now kind, and I have come to warn you in payment of your kindness," answered the old hag. "Warn me of what?" "M'ganwazam has chosen the young men who are to sleep in the hut with you," replied Tambudza. "I was near as he talked with them, and heard him issuing his instructions to them. When the dance is run well into the morning they are to come to the hut.
She saw that the end was near, and though she was terrified at contemplation of her loss, still she hoped that it would come quickly now and end the sufferings of the little victim. The footsteps she had heard without the hut now halted before the door. There was a whispered colloquy, and a moment later M'ganwazam, chief of the tribe, entered.
This man acted as interpreter, and almost from the first question that M'ganwazam put to her, Jane felt an intuitive conviction that the savage was attempting to draw information from her for some ulterior motive.
Therefore I have told you this that you might not waste your time in a long journey if you expected to meet your husband at the end of it; but instead could turn and retrace your steps to the coast." Jane thanked M'ganwazam for his kindness, though her heart was numb with suffering at this new blow.
Before the whites realized what had happened the superstitious fears of the natives had sent them scurrying into the bush their own carriers as well as the messengers from M'ganwazam but even in their haste they had not neglected to take with them every article of value upon which they could lay their hands.
So it was that the runners dispatched by M'ganwazam to warn Rokoff that the white giant was in his village and that he would be slain that night reached the Russian's camp before Tarzan and his ancient guide had covered half the distance. The guides found the white man's camp in a turmoil. Rokoff had that morning been discovered stunned and bleeding within his tent.
But the fear that he might indeed be a devil, and that out there in the jungle behind him his fierce demons waited to do his bidding, kept M'ganwazam from putting his desires into action.
So Tarzan accepted the invitation of old M'ganwazam, insisting, however, that he much preferred sharing a hut with some of the younger men rather than driving the chief's old wife out in the cold.
If this was the case, it would be but a matter of an hour or more before he should be able to wrest her from the Russian. He knew now that M'ganwazam was treacherous and that he might have to fight to regain possession of his wife.
