THE ATTACK OF THE PTERODACTYLS ~ 1932.09.11
"We'll trail the dinosaur when we're better prepared said Tarzan, indicating his fractured arm. "And how about your own wound? Was it in dinosaur's blood you wrote to me for help?"

"No, my own," said von Harben, showing his scar. He led the ape-man back to the spot where he had fought the strange maniac. "This man shot me before I killed him," von Harben explained. "If I thought  the wound would have healed itself I would not have sent Nkima for you."

Tarzan knelt and looked into the face of  his old enemy, Lieutenant von Werper, who had gone mad in the jungle in his quest for wealth and who having found it, perished. "Let us go," said Tarzan. But at that moment von Harben fell, swept by the wing of one of the great pterodactyls. Lying on the ground, he fired at the flying reptile. The sound of the shot was followed by wild h hissing cries. The pterodactyls flew high and circled about in the air. Then swept down swiftly to the attack. A long neck shot out and a fierce beak made a thrust at von Harben. Tarzan leaped high and met the pterodactyl. Then the ape-man pushed the explorer to the protection of an elephant's skeleton. Here for a moment they were safe.
