The look of surprise on the savage face was almost comical, and before Tarzan could unsling his bow the fellow had turned and fled down the path crying out in alarm as though to others before him.

Bosen's mate, take a bight of the flying jib sheet stand over him, and start him if he dailies with it."

"If I wanted to I could unsling my bow, string it, and bring you down with an arrow; but I don't want to. Why can't you both be as tame as my fawn?"
And all the while, across the gulf out of which golden vapours curled more thickly as the sun's burning searchlight spread out across the world, the man in Swiss uniform stood on the chasm's edge, as though awaiting some further word or movement from McKay. And, after awhile, the word came, clear, startling, snapped out across the void: "Unsling that haversack! Don't touch the flap!
