THE UNKNOWN TERROR ~ 1932.08.28

---

When Tarzan came to the graveyard of the elephants, little Nkima went nearly mad with excitement. But at the entrance to the canyon Tarzan paused; and the apes hesitated , looking to one another in inquiry. A strange animal scent had come to them down wind. Only hair-brained little Nkima ventured through the passageway, but in a few moments the monkey was back screeching in wildest terror. When Nkima told of a dread animal larger than any in the world, Tarzan ordered the great ape, Akut, to go back to retrieve the weapons that he had lost in his fall. Akut found them at the food of the cliff. 

Then he scrambled up the walls of the great canyon. When Tarzan received his weapons back one of the more venturesome apes went warily into the passageway. But, like Nkima, he returned in a moment, shrieking in terror, calling to everyone to flee. Tarzan was not ape enough to join in the panic flight, and as a man he had to carry through his plan to rescue von Harben. Nkima clung to his legs screeching wildly for him not to go, but Tarzan shook  him off and entered the graveyard. What he saw made his heart stand still. 

WHAT DREAD THING WAS IT THAT PUT THE BRAVEST OF BEASTS TO FLIGHT AND STOPPED THE LORD OF THE JUNGLE IN HIS TRACKS?
