now it's time for River Escape Route. Safe on Shore
(00:52):
and Mungo, leader of the Yellow Giants.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
While resting on the bank of a swift flowing stream
in an uncharted section of the south central African Jungle,
Tarzan and Darno, Major Burton, Ashley, Jeanette Burton, doctor Wong Tie,
and Terence O'Rourke are captured by a band of half
human giants. They escape and take to the river in
a crude dugout carried around the bend a precipitous wall
(01:17):
of rock towering one hundred feet above the stream confronts them.
Crawling from cave like openings with which the cliff is honeycombed,
are scores of the yellow savages.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yelling fiendishly.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The half human monsters scramble down the face of the
precipice to congregate on the high banks of the river.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Rushed forward in the fearful drip of the.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Current, menaced on all sides by the yellow skinned monsters,
the dugout speed straight and swift.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
As an arrow toward a narrow, black opening in the
base of the wall. Why so we're going to hit
that holes fremendous street. Watch out for rocks overhead. They're
going to drop them.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Down on us.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
See rifles speak or or specially bomb fire. Look, how
here comes to rock as big as a house. If
(02:19):
that's are going to that's a use your.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Rifles, man, Hey, all of you stuck your heads. Here
comes a tunnel down down at the bottom of the boat.
Host tight turn it and if we don't get out,
what time, my dear?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's reply is drowned in the roar as the craft
shoots into black, a nutter darkness. The rushing of the
waters echoes and reverberates from the rocky walls with a
noise like thunder. Onward they speed through the stidium darkness,
or what seems an eternity pouched in the bottom of
the dugout, carried at the will of the blood, fearful
that each moment will pun them over the brink of
(03:10):
a cataract, or grind them to bits on jutting rocks
through the bowels of the mountain, They rush.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Right ahead. We're almost through.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Hey, And that hole, it looks a long way from it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It looks like a pinpoint. We must be traveling at
terrific speed.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
See how that opening is growing in size.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I can see smooth water beyond, Thank Heaven. We can
only reach the ground again. Hey, the sun was shining
when we came in here. Look at that reflection on
the water. Seas not sunlight, the moon. O' roarck.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
We've been in this tunnel a long time, Tarzan, have
you any idea where we are?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
No more than you have?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Donald?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
That opening is pretty low. Better get down on the
bottom of the boat again. We're going through in a second.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
Ooh, that clear sweet hair the sky. I was afraid
i'd never see it again.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Where's the jungle nothing but ball cliffs on both sides
of it, no place to land.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
As the boat shoots out of the roaring cavern, they
occup them skis around in wonder. At their backs is
the cliff with the narrow opening through which they've just come.
They pour them through a narrow gorge stretches the swift
flowing river. On every side rise tall cliff tower like pinnacles,
polluted an ornate column, slender pillar. There's bare titanic boulders
(05:01):
and great slabs balanced on their summits. Straight from the riverside,
the fantastic rock formations rise, many of them sheer for
half a thousand feet, Nature's minarets and spires, visible as
though viewed through a sheet of silver gauze under the soft,
diffused radiance of a tropical moon, round and brighter than
huw minted coil.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Perfectly wonderful.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Oh, after rushing through that awful black hole second to
be smashed bits every minute, And.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
To speak of the yellow savages from whom I hope
we have definitely escaped.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
I've been thinking about that, sar them. Do you think
those fellows are following us?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I doubt it. They would have been out of that
hole by. Now, if they were behind us, then it
should be safe to land.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Now, am nammy, hey, Lieutenant, for I land.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I me in favor of sticking to this wood skin
as long as we can. We can land anytime on.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Those shears, Cliff, Terry, I haven't seen a spot why
enough to stand.
Speaker 10 (06:00):
That if I am not mistaken, the river is gradually widening,
and down there see ahead of that, it's not that
a narrow strip of big.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
I agree with Terry, my friend, stay with a boat
as long as we can. Perhaps we may yet reach
the Congo.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sure, And that's my idea exactly.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
I'm not in favor of taking chances with him yellowhead.
And again, just because they're not right behind it, he's
no signed. We won't have trouble with them yet, to.
Speaker 12 (06:30):
Think of it, they'll be unapong. It is rather strange
they have not followed this. I wonder why they certainly
must know of that underground we're there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Have you any explanations for it? Then? No, Miss Burton,
but I'm sure they haven't.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
It.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Maybe that the tunnel is taboo.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
No, that is possible.
Speaker 11 (06:51):
Rains place this I doubt if any man has ever
been in this canyon before, at least by the roote
we came, and for all we know, the said maybe
by tunnel.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Also.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
It is a weird place right in the fecially unlike
anything I have ever seen in Africa. The map shows
a cluster of mountains somewhere in this region, but I
never dreamed they were anything like this.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
No, the two tad yellow skinned savages lived in here
ten there rocks.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
But those seen, these men, I suppose they are men
trouble me.
Speaker 10 (07:27):
I have been thinking.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
About them ever since they sell them one till them
killed they bother.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
It'd be a lot more while they were aphorus and
when they had a sin.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
They do know, I don't care if I never see
any of them again. M my settlements.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You do not.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Understand what I mean, either of you. Who and what
they are is what troubles me.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I think I understand one. I agree with you. They
certainly are not of recent origin.
Speaker 11 (07:56):
As a matter of fact, I'm firmly convinced that these
creatures the survivors of the cave man.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Woos the cave man.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
You saw the face of that cliff we passed under
Hannecombe with cabins.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Those savages living.
Speaker 11 (08:11):
Not only that, did you examine them closely while they
had us back there on the river bank.
Speaker 12 (08:16):
But Majore the caveman, the neanderthal man, for example, he
was a much smaller creature.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
But there of that, there were undoubted the fads of
giants that does these even.
Speaker 11 (08:32):
Then, of course, these creatures are more like huge, hairless
apes than men.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Didn't you see the flat, low craniums, the long arms,
the short legs.
Speaker 11 (08:43):
Wong, there's a marvelous feel for investigation here, and for
the sake of ethnology, I think we should.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Wear you athnowledgist to welcome to investigate all you want to,
But she'd better wear armor and carry machine guns when
you begin your investigation.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think that men but a bad idea. That well,
I have a much better idea, Unwi him.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Stay as far away from them as possible. Technology won't
stuffer greatly, you know, by not knowing about those things.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well after that, look here we are coming out into
open country and jungles the clips they are dropping behind them.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yes, listen, Numa, say, boys, cheetah, what.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Country filled with unspeakable horns just behind each push?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh it's terrible that.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Were you not warned of those horrors.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
My dear, I believe the Major and Lord Rock as
well as I endeavored to convince you that the jungle.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Is not the place for a young white woman.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
You did for three months, and it was only when
I threatened to follow you. If you left me behind
a narrow beat that you would read to my fe It.
Speaker 13 (09:59):
Would have and better, Miss Burton, had you listened to
your friends and remain behind.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Uncle Jimmy, oh I have left her, then I couldn't
let him go up into the younger lane.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Listen, sounds like a waterfowl somewhere ahead. Yes, we must land.
Do you notice how the current has become swifted?
Speaker 10 (10:20):
And make sure we get to show out the better.
We can inspect that file in the morning. Perhaps carry
the dug out to the Laura water.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
If we are going to the Hunters, and we had
better do so quickly.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It seems to me that we are approaching that boils
or whatever it may be very fast. Right head to
that open space on the right bank.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Careful at that point jutting out into the river we
hit there.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Have to go round it. Land on the other side.
Use your paddles.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Give some deep men the currents get you stronger.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Handle everybody. Once we're in that backwash, we're safe handling.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
They'll snap them too too much good.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
We're passing the back Noyse, Tarzan.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
She's right for cumbs, taking us out forwards the middle.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Ry, Garry, I don't think we'll make it.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Paddle o rock Ashley, Donald, We are doing the best
we can.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Mona be.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Ah that do there?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Grosh paddlers snapped off just above the blades?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Are there anymore in this douggle? Here? Here?
Speaker 8 (11:25):
Take mine?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
We'll never make it out. Don't give up. Use those
paddles on our papo sieb.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
It is useless as we are so near the edge
now that nothing but the miracle.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Can save them. Look Donald, those limbs frances out over
the water. When we pass under them, I'm going to
dump what's wall me up ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
With the speed of an arrow, the long, ungainly dug
out races toward the overhanging branches festoomed with creepers and vines.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
As the canoe shoots beneath them. Tarzan leaps high in
the air.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The steely fingers of one hand unerringly fined and grasped
the loop of the thick vine.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The next instant, with the speed and agility.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Of Manu the Monkey, the ape man is swarming up
one strand of the creeper.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Toward the thick poliage above.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
The dugout speedily leaves Tarzan behind, nearer and nearer to
the cataract.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
To help.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
This group has rushed for the awful current. Ever, louder becomes.
The roar of water has tons upon tons of it
strikes the rocks and boulders far below. In the apparently
doomed canoe. Hive hootled pair of eyes are glued to
the ape man as he reaches up to swing himself
out of the branch. Suddenly a cry of horror from
the occupants of the dugout. Tarzan about to grasp them,
(12:38):
hurtles downward toward the rushing stream, clinging to one end
of the broken vines.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Look the divine sagon. He's falling into the river. No
mo see there the other end of the vine it holds.
He is swinging towards the bank.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
He has at least saved himself. There is no fuss
way he can help it.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
We are doomed because he's look at him, blundown the
bank with the speed of a lion might jobs over
sticking if he can but to.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Reach that tree there at the edge of the falls
with the speed of an antelope.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Cartan bounds along the rough banks for the mammoth pull
the copper street that stands.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Close to the river's edge and a few yards back
from the brink of the cataract.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
One great more limb sweeps far out over the river,
streaking the tree. The eight man springs upwards vanishes in
the thick foliage. A moment later he reappears, running lightly
out on the thick grass. He whipped the grass rope
from his shoulder, makes one end pass to a strong limb.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
As the dug out passes swiftly beneath him. He hurls
the south coils, so often.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Tested against the savage strength of the mighty Numa, down
into the outstretched arms of Dano and Godor, the two
men backed by Ashley and Wong, thing to the rope
with all their strength as the heavy dug out jerks
to a standfill in the rushing current, so near the
edge of the cataract that Geet in the prow gasped
as she stears terrified down over the prink of the waterfall.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Hang on and sit hold one quick if it we
only hold against.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
The fool of the current.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
To not worry about that. I have seen it hold
the strongest recently, young, Hold tight. I'm going to one
tie this end and point to the bank.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Si ple Tartan loosened the rope, the muscles of his
great arms and shoulders not in the steel cord. Slowly
but five foot makes his way along the great limb,
tod the river bank, pulling the dug out behind him savagely.
The water boiled and swirls around the canoe as though
reluctant to give up.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
A spray, and the cap touches the shore.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The eight man makes the rope past to a tree,
stops quickly to the ground, and pulled the dug out
halfway out of the water.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Thanks be to the change path.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And I'd rather take my chances with him the yellow women, than.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Go through that again, I accuse of my venerable ancestors.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Sad and thou art A man give me some water,
one of his, and it's fainted far. The reaction was
too much for her. But this brandy o rock here
my flask.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
Will you look at that no.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Thanks, Brandy in.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
The jungle, pull a little in the top of the flash.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He request break this for Terry. I'm all right, Lia,
just couldn't talk. And I don't blame you. I drink
this anyway. He'll do you good. Thanks, Terry. The rest
of it, and she's only a draft. Stop it, Terry,
do you want to brown the door? I leave the
major a.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Little nip after what she's seen through one hammett stand it?
Speaker 13 (15:32):
We shall spe guardy o, Donald, you will rock, get
some wood and start a fire.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'll pull the bug up up on the bank, away
from the water.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I can't believe it will stay on shore. If you
look down over the brink of those falls, Aca, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I was terrible.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
One hundreds of thief grief jagged rocks down there.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
My dear, don't think about it. I'd give up hope myself.
Speaker 14 (15:59):
Your rest now, mademoiselle. Tomorrow we shall find a way
down the cliffs to the there below. Then, Monsieur Rock,
we shall get work for the past.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Right, would you look heaven? Uncle Jan that's Dennis. What
is it? Do you think we'll ever get out of
that awful.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Country of miles?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh? What may do? You ask, I don't know. We're
just wondering.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Make care this experience you did not as well on
the dark.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Thought, I suppose not. How can I help it? With
a man like cars empathy of proof? Why we're bound
to come out all right? It's nearly a matter of
getting the dug out down to the river below the
falls in the morning.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
And carrying on, carrying on?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yes, is I guess you're as one says, don't think
of the unpleasant side of the situation. We will get
through right enough.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
But sometimes one of us, maybe all of us, will
fall into a situation that.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We can't get out of.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
It's impossible for Cars enterthy with everybody all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's wrong is only humor.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Dear, we all see him watches over us and point
our destinies has led us out of danger so far?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Is there any reason to believe you will desert us now?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
I know this terrible, cruel country, filled with every sort
of dangerous, horrible death looking behind each push, every shadow.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
But even if nevers our experience of a few moments
ago has necessarily unnerved your TenneT. If we exercise caution
and trust to the leadership of tasm.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I believe we shall have the sisters fa.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
There you are, my dear, take a lead from the
Frenchman for apparently not a worry on his mind.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You look contented enough there in the moonlight. It's almost
as if you were listening to La concer plant and Tari.
Speaker 14 (17:57):
Only in this case it is the course of the
genle you while listening to you, and now for a
little fire and everything will be ship shaping a moment
you are entirely over the effects about did I say late?
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
That's very dear? You know eyes front, where is.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
Which Tarzani is up?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Tarzan killed a steak and is bringing it in? I
don't understand what.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
About my joke shows excellent?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
You look at.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
All of them waiting for their shopping without a caring
the world, and right after you pull them out of.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
The jar to say, well, he'll be having it now.
It's a better be good, ther s, it will be made.
How do you feel, genetic post I'm sair sharing.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Then wait till you've.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Had one of these water but steak pat and he
says that they're the best eating in the jungles, Yes,
outside the deepra.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
He doesn't mean.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Why not the jungle, the hungry animal, man or beast
what he can get. Oh, I couldn't. This is not zebra.
Speaker 14 (19:10):
Cut off as much as we can carry, for when
it is seered, it will last several days.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
For myself, I shall eat, and if he does not
par to me to take the first watch, sleep, I
must admit to being tired.
Speaker 13 (19:23):
You had better at all, Red, I'll take the watch
if he day lies soon anyway, I do.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I haven't noticed. The moon is low in the style,
almost touching those treetops over there.
Speaker 14 (19:33):
I shall stand the first watch when I mean daylight
is still several hours away.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You rest, Donald, I'm not tired.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
As the little company finishes its meal of water buck steak,
and each member of the group composes himself to rest,
Tarzan swings lightly to the broad limb of a nearby
tree and settles down with his back to the trunk.
The moon drops swiftly behind the distant horizon, and inky
blackness steals out of the jungle to envelop the slinking camp.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Crickets thicken the air with their shrilling, and the forest
clouds clothes The poar off chatter.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Of monkeys dies away. The hungry roars of numa sheet
and saber drops. The subdued contented rumblings, as having killed
and fed the great jungle.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Beasts, seek their lairs to rest and sleep through the
heat of the approaching day.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
The summits of the tall cliffs and spires glow with
the rosy light of dawn as tarzan arouses the camp
before the rising sun slants into the purple mists of
the jungle. The ape man and his friends have finished
their meager breakfast and are seeking a pathway to the river.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Below the fall.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Oh, what a glorious morning.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Dear, things look a bit different from what they did
last night, they my dear, No, just look back there.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Why that river gorge is beautiful? The high red cliffs,
the say.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
It did look weird and mysterious by moonlight, saw memoriden.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
After coming to that terrible black hole last night, it
looked more beautiful.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
Than anything I've ever seen. There were danger of that catallact,
with everything else out of my mind. Just look down
everything the pro charge and had been unable to I
can't think.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Hello, mamoe, let's go. Hey a done? W Oh? I
look now.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Terry never yells like that unless he's excited.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
About that.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Just give your pas. What are your farms? He well
worn too, angling down the cliff side, probably.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Used by the animals coming to the stream to drink.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
This is not an animal trail. Who else could have?
Speaker 13 (21:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Look here further along. Animals don't cut half through solid rock.
Is that what you mean?
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Thar them?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, that's what are you thinking? But if it takes
us to the river below the falls, and well, it
seems to be lead in.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
A that direction, and that's what we rookie part. We
can come back after the dogle.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
We'll follow it. Donald and I all lead the way. Rock.
You bring up the rear and keep your eyes open
right here. Lead on, then I'll be watching the back trail.
Come on, Donald, the rest of you stay close. Why
do you prey caution? You are not satisfied with your
pianca ting.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
No, Ashley was right when he said animals don't cut
trail to rock, They go round the easiest way.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Then his past he was made by men, maybe for
the same reason we're using it now to get round
the wall. If human beings made this trail, there should
be some sign of things there. Are you mean good prints? Hm?
You don't mean the ground closely and found none.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Their feet don't leave Prince on rocks, Donald, But there
are other signs, many of them broken bushes beside the path.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
What could have been done by some passing animale. No
Luma walks the path.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
He walks in the middle unless he's talking praying, Then
he slips through the bushes beside it, and.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
He does not break twigs or fresh leaves.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Oh shall come for and this pathway has been used
and lately those things on the ground.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yes, the wind were blowing towards us and stead at
our back. You are easy, my friends. Yes, I feel
as if I were walking into a tramp here. Wait,
something wrong? Then I'm going into the trees to look around.
All of you stay right here.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
If I know you were right, We walk deliberately into
an ambush. We are completely surrounded.
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Those finish yellow men they followed us, and.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You know, my child, you are around. Look at their feet,
fire joy those instead of claws.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Are you going to drop that fewer coming up the path?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
No, but down that rifle aroard, don't move any of you.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Slowly, cautiously.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The circle of yellow giants narrows about the little group
waiting tensely not knowing what to expect. Step by step,
the yellow men approach. They're great spears held ready for
instant use.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Uncle Jim, Jim, they're going to kill us.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
That had been their intentions, Genet. They could have done
so long ago, and we would never have known what
truckers now.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Look at their faces, they show more curiosity than cruel
intent to kill.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
At a sign from one who appears to be their leader,
the yellow men hall. The little company is completely and
closely hedged in by the huge creatures. With the point
of his spear almost touching the ape man's breast, the
leader speaks guttroling.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Lookd unga oh woah tk to Tukua.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Tarzan slowly shakes his head in a sign that he
does not understand. A huge yellow savage thumps himself on
the chest.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Rula Mungo, Yula Mungo.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
He is telling it Tazan that his name is Mungo.
Speaker 13 (24:52):
Yes, I am Tazam Tazan.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Of the eph.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Zan you ah Zan.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
While the foot speaks English.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
You understand, Tarzan, Mungo, understand stars Z what you do here.
Speaker 13 (25:19):
We are trying to reach the river in the valley below.
Find our way out.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Of jungle.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Ah Zan, you from long Fungo stop stop at ta
ar Taya?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Who is a Taya?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Are there?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Great queen?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Hm hm you give firesticks, Mungo, no hurts, you know,
Give Mungo take yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And I'm not giving me a rifle up to any
shavy Gil will keep our fire sticks, Mungo. You know,
give Mungo dick Tarzan.
Speaker 12 (26:02):
I think it is best to comply with his demand temporarily.
At least they will only take them by force.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
We cannot hope to fight them all, but to give
up without even try.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Hey, the word Tarzan, and I let that hello. I
have it right in the chest, the major and Wang
already Memono.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Pasa or Roque.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
You know Tarzan that if we were alone, I would
be the first to offer resistance. But Mademoiselle Jeannette, if
we are killed the post to us, what will become
of their right? Give up your rivals, say, Lieutenant, I
don't like it, neither do I or Roquemnami. But we
(26:43):
are only five, not counting Mademoiselle Jeanette.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Look look around you. There are at least thirty of
them against us.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
All right, Mungo, you have our fire sticks. What now
earth you come long?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Mungo? Now stop top They are.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Gamboo.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Hello at the guttle words addressed to his followers. Mungo
turns on his heel and stalks down the trail, closely
hemmed in by their gigantic, yellow skinned captors. Parzan and
his friends, now weaponless follow.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Alerts are my friend, comtu ju, you were right? What
do you mean about the trail being man made and
being used by men? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So long?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
When do we make a fight on the way to
wait O' rock?
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Have you not noted that our captors are different from
those others? All I know is that I don't like
the looks of things, and asna we can get out
of this the better.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
May a could, monsieur? Can you not understand that an
attempt to fight or escape now.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Would mean but once in death you can make an
awful good try at it off. I think it will
be killed anyway, sooner or later.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And what of Mademoiselle Jeannette no more? We must protect
her for the last man or rock? Of course?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yeah, then the only way we can do that is
to remain alive as long as we can. I do
not think they would kill her but they would not
hesitate to do away with us.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
What do you think that he is?
Speaker 13 (28:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
O Rock? Wait, all right, if you say so, we'll
see it through.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
But at the first sign of treachery, I'm starting.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
In on his head, and with what, monsieur Rock, we
are unarmed with me on two hands, Beghari. We'll wait
a little o' rock until we've seen this queen.
Speaker 10 (28:48):
I'll tell you excellent advice, my friends, and the rock,
I repeat. Had these savages wish too, they could have
killed that other hand back there on the trail.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Well, they're just as bad as the others that took us.
They didn't tell us when they had the chance. Even
after we laid out half a dozen of them, sayth
and Begori, they were all ready.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
To feed us to the crocodile. Started in with me.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
Nevertheless, we are still alive. A good omen, my friend.
And as long as we are alive, is it too
much to hope that a more profigious moment to consider
escape will be given?
Speaker 7 (29:27):
As a bee he talked the legs off a brass chainte.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
But you must admit I am at least logical.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Oh well, yes, maybe you're right. If that's what you mean.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Luther and Dana.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
What do you make of the fact that these creatures
speak English, or that one of them does.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
As the passion At some time they must have had
contact with English speaking white men usual a doctor.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
Naturally, but the two tooed one beyond the cliffs. They
spoke no English, nor seeming lad they understand it.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
It is very easy to see that these fellows are
rather higher mentality than the others, a little less so,
shall I say, the abysmal brute exactly?
Speaker 10 (30:12):
And you have noticed the fact that not one of
these captors of ours has closs feet.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Just what are you driving us?
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Have you never seen a red rose growing on the
same bush with a white one?
Speaker 6 (30:25):
My friends? Grafting? I believe the English call.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
It not real, Mom, I have seen to never depress mons.
You mean those beyond the underground river are really made,
not society ample sea blost only impossible to.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
The scientific train, Lieutenant, nothing is impossible. Fourth or scientific
cross breeding. In this instance we might call it grafting
is a scientific fact. I could say two instances. However,
it is a truly absorbing today.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
No, don't know why I cannot believe. Oh, oh, Mademoiselle Jeanette,
you are poisoned.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Well, we've left the first trail we were, un Lieutenant,
isn't this an elephant pasmer following?
Speaker 7 (31:14):
Now?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Oh wait, dear, so it is.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
I was so deeply engrossed in a discussion with Michiella doctor.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Wong that I did not notice.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
I know, don know.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
We're headed away from the river. Look over there in
that clearic tandor elephants a.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Whole thing, because sheting yellow head and pull in with them. Bolls,
they're handling elephants like regular mahoots right in African Elephants
ain't supposed to be possible, are healthy?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
So I've heard that.
Speaker 11 (31:50):
Yeah, these fellows handle them easily enough.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Look how the beasts lift the men up and put
them on their back.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
Apparently we are going to ride to the abode of
the Queen Ata.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
We shall know immediately Machilla doctor here comes Mongol.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Pity, oh Queen Patia?
Speaker 13 (32:10):
Long way?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Why people go on? Elphant come.
Speaker 13 (32:19):
Hell boy.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
At a shout from Mungo, six great gray beasts, each
guided by a yellow skinned giant, come forward. Tarzan steps
quietly out to meet the nearest. At a grug command
from its rider, the brute's trunk reaches out, encircles the
eight man's body, and lifts him gently to a seat
on its back behind the mahoo. When all are mounted,
the entire troop, following a wide path, strikes off into
(32:58):
the depths of the jungle at high speed. The elephants
follow the winding jungle path until near sunset, the trail
ends abruptly on the edge of a small saucer like valley,
treeless and barren.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Half a mile distant.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
In the center of the plain rises the city of
Ottea constructed of gray rock. The buildings are low, flat
roof one apparently the palace rises above the rest and
is built entirely around and against a tall column of
gray rock, like the keep of an ancient castle. Completely
surrounding the city is a high, wide topped stone wall
(33:32):
with flat roofed watch towers every hundred yards over a
well traveled roadway toward a massive gate. The elephants sway along.
At their approach, the barrier swings open without paws. Mungo
leads through a wide street crowded with gigantic yellow men
and women to halt before a dome roofed powers Mungo
and several of his men dismount at Guttural commands the
(33:52):
elephants carrying tars, and the's friends lift the whites.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
To the ground with their trunks.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Mungo leads the way into a wide, circular chamber for
a least with massive wooden couches covered with lion and
leopard skins.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
White people, stay here very soon, Mungo, you'll come back.
Then you top top a there.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Just like that. If the hair, then Queen's in a
good humor. We can talk with her.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
If she ain't the garia which I had the automatic,
what good would.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
It do you, my friends?
Speaker 10 (34:25):
If we kill this woman, the giants will annihilate us.
A man cannot combat a swarm of ants or bees,
certainly not a horde of armed savages.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
Do you have reasonable terry wongs? Right, great scott Man,
Do you want to get us all killed with your
craving for a fighting?
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Yes, you'll probably get all the fighting you want Terry
before we're out of this.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
It will come to fighting sooner or later. It depends
on the queen.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Ohay, so say very true. In the meantime, those couches, look,
I'm fighting. I think I shall lie down because he's
your friend, Mungo Dot run the head than.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Devil who had made a first trip. They must be
anxious to get over.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
With this stares and white people don't know we go
out day.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Are welcome back.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Solid three chapters. I think that the River Escape was
really great tense action and a chance for tours and
really to shine, as was the jungle tracking, and of
course the introduction of a different group of yellow men
does hint at a bit more complexity in this world,
(35:34):
and we're going to see how that plays out in
future episodes. The explanation of how Jeanette came to be
on the did seem a bit unnatural and forced, but
other than that, again a solid episode.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
All right.

now it's time for River Escape Route. Safe on Shore
(00:52):
and Mungo, leader of the Yellow Giants.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
While resting on the bank of a swift flowing stream
in an uncharted section of the south central African Jungle,
Tarzan and Darno, Major Burton, Ashley, Jeanette Burton, doctor Wong Tie,
and Terence O'Rourke are captured by a band of half
human giants. They escape and take to the river in
a crude dugout carried around the bend a precipitous wall
(01:17):
of rock towering one hundred feet above the stream confronts them.
Crawling from cave like openings with which the cliff is honeycombed,
are scores of the yellow savages.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yelling fiendishly.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
The half human monsters scramble down the face of the
precipice to congregate on the high banks of the river.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Rushed forward in the fearful drip of the.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Current, menaced on all sides by the yellow skinned monsters,
the dugout speed straight and swift.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
As an arrow toward a narrow, black opening in the
base of the wall. Why so we're going to hit
that holes fremendous street. Watch out for rocks overhead. They're
going to drop them.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Down on us.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
See rifles speak or or specially bomb fire. Look, how
here comes to rock as big as a house. If
(02:19):
that's are going to that's a use your.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Rifles, man, Hey, all of you stuck your heads. Here
comes a tunnel down down at the bottom of the boat.
Host tight turn it and if we don't get out,
what time, my dear?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's reply is drowned in the roar as the craft
shoots into black, a nutter darkness. The rushing of the
waters echoes and reverberates from the rocky walls with a
noise like thunder. Onward they speed through the stidium darkness,
or what seems an eternity pouched in the bottom of
the dugout, carried at the will of the blood, fearful
that each moment will pun them over the brink of
(03:10):
a cataract, or grind them to bits on jutting rocks
through the bowels of the mountain, They rush.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Right ahead. We're almost through.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Hey, And that hole, it looks a long way from it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It looks like a pinpoint. We must be traveling at
terrific speed.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
See how that opening is growing in size.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I can see smooth water beyond, Thank Heaven. We can
only reach the ground again. Hey, the sun was shining
when we came in here. Look at that reflection on
the water. Seas not sunlight, the moon. O' roarck.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
We've been in this tunnel a long time, Tarzan, have
you any idea where we are?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
No more than you have?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Donald?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
That opening is pretty low. Better get down on the
bottom of the boat again. We're going through in a second.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
Ooh, that clear sweet hair the sky. I was afraid
i'd never see it again.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Where's the jungle nothing but ball cliffs on both sides
of it, no place to land.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
As the boat shoots out of the roaring cavern, they
occup them skis around in wonder. At their backs is
the cliff with the narrow opening through which they've just come.
They pour them through a narrow gorge stretches the swift
flowing river. On every side rise tall cliff tower like pinnacles,
polluted an ornate column, slender pillar. There's bare titanic boulders
(05:01):
and great slabs balanced on their summits. Straight from the riverside,
the fantastic rock formations rise, many of them sheer for
half a thousand feet, Nature's minarets and spires, visible as
though viewed through a sheet of silver gauze under the soft,
diffused radiance of a tropical moon, round and brighter than
huw minted coil.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Perfectly wonderful.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
Oh, after rushing through that awful black hole second to
be smashed bits every minute, And.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
To speak of the yellow savages from whom I hope
we have definitely escaped.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
I've been thinking about that, sar them. Do you think
those fellows are following us?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I doubt it. They would have been out of that
hole by. Now, if they were behind us, then it
should be safe to land.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Now, am nammy, hey, Lieutenant, for I land.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I me in favor of sticking to this wood skin
as long as we can. We can land anytime on.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Those shears, Cliff, Terry, I haven't seen a spot why
enough to stand.
Speaker 10 (06:00):
That if I am not mistaken, the river is gradually widening,
and down there see ahead of that, it's not that
a narrow strip of big.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
I agree with Terry, my friend, stay with a boat
as long as we can. Perhaps we may yet reach
the Congo.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Sure, And that's my idea exactly.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
I'm not in favor of taking chances with him yellowhead.
And again, just because they're not right behind it, he's
no signed. We won't have trouble with them yet, to.
Speaker 12 (06:30):
Think of it, they'll be unapong. It is rather strange
they have not followed this. I wonder why they certainly
must know of that underground we're there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Have you any explanations for it? Then? No, Miss Burton,
but I'm sure they haven't.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
It.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Maybe that the tunnel is taboo.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
No, that is possible.
Speaker 11 (06:51):
Rains place this I doubt if any man has ever
been in this canyon before, at least by the roote
we came, and for all we know, the said maybe
by tunnel.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Also.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
It is a weird place right in the fecially unlike
anything I have ever seen in Africa. The map shows
a cluster of mountains somewhere in this region, but I
never dreamed they were anything like this.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
No, the two tad yellow skinned savages lived in here
ten there rocks.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
But those seen, these men, I suppose they are men
trouble me.
Speaker 10 (07:27):
I have been thinking.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
About them ever since they sell them one till them
killed they bother.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
It'd be a lot more while they were aphorus and
when they had a sin.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
They do know, I don't care if I never see
any of them again. M my settlements.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You do not.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Understand what I mean, either of you. Who and what
they are is what troubles me.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I think I understand one. I agree with you. They
certainly are not of recent origin.
Speaker 11 (07:56):
As a matter of fact, I'm firmly convinced that these
creatures the survivors of the cave man.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Woos the cave man.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
You saw the face of that cliff we passed under
Hannecombe with cabins.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Those savages living.
Speaker 11 (08:11):
Not only that, did you examine them closely while they
had us back there on the river bank.
Speaker 12 (08:16):
But Majore the caveman, the neanderthal man, for example, he
was a much smaller creature.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
But there of that, there were undoubted the fads of
giants that does these even.
Speaker 11 (08:32):
Then, of course, these creatures are more like huge, hairless
apes than men.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Didn't you see the flat, low craniums, the long arms,
the short legs.
Speaker 11 (08:43):
Wong, there's a marvelous feel for investigation here, and for
the sake of ethnology, I think we should.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Wear you athnowledgist to welcome to investigate all you want to,
But she'd better wear armor and carry machine guns when
you begin your investigation.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think that men but a bad idea. That well,
I have a much better idea, Unwi him.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Stay as far away from them as possible. Technology won't
stuffer greatly, you know, by not knowing about those things.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well after that, look here we are coming out into
open country and jungles the clips they are dropping behind them.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yes, listen, Numa, say, boys, cheetah, what.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Country filled with unspeakable horns just behind each push?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh it's terrible that.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Were you not warned of those horrors.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
My dear, I believe the Major and Lord Rock as
well as I endeavored to convince you that the jungle.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Is not the place for a young white woman.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
You did for three months, and it was only when
I threatened to follow you. If you left me behind
a narrow beat that you would read to my fe It.
Speaker 13 (09:59):
Would have and better, Miss Burton, had you listened to
your friends and remain behind.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Uncle Jimmy, oh I have left her, then I couldn't
let him go up into the younger lane.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Listen, sounds like a waterfowl somewhere ahead. Yes, we must land.
Do you notice how the current has become swifted?
Speaker 10 (10:20):
And make sure we get to show out the better.
We can inspect that file in the morning. Perhaps carry
the dug out to the Laura water.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
If we are going to the Hunters, and we had
better do so quickly.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It seems to me that we are approaching that boils
or whatever it may be very fast. Right head to
that open space on the right bank.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Careful at that point jutting out into the river we
hit there.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Have to go round it. Land on the other side.
Use your paddles.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Give some deep men the currents get you stronger.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Handle everybody. Once we're in that backwash, we're safe handling.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
They'll snap them too too much good.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
We're passing the back Noyse, Tarzan.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
She's right for cumbs, taking us out forwards the middle.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Ry, Garry, I don't think we'll make it.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Paddle o rock Ashley, Donald, We are doing the best
we can.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Mona be.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Ah that do there?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Grosh paddlers snapped off just above the blades?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Are there anymore in this douggle? Here? Here?
Speaker 8 (11:25):
Take mine?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
We'll never make it out. Don't give up. Use those
paddles on our papo sieb.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
It is useless as we are so near the edge
now that nothing but the miracle.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Can save them. Look Donald, those limbs frances out over
the water. When we pass under them, I'm going to
dump what's wall me up ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
With the speed of an arrow, the long, ungainly dug
out races toward the overhanging branches festoomed with creepers and vines.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
As the canoe shoots beneath them. Tarzan leaps high in
the air.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The steely fingers of one hand unerringly fined and grasped
the loop of the thick vine.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The next instant, with the speed and agility.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Of Manu the Monkey, the ape man is swarming up
one strand of the creeper.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Toward the thick poliage above.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
The dugout speedily leaves Tarzan behind, nearer and nearer to
the cataract.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
To help.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
This group has rushed for the awful current. Ever, louder becomes.
The roar of water has tons upon tons of it
strikes the rocks and boulders far below. In the apparently
doomed canoe. Hive hootled pair of eyes are glued to
the ape man as he reaches up to swing himself
out of the branch. Suddenly a cry of horror from
the occupants of the dugout. Tarzan about to grasp them,
(12:38):
hurtles downward toward the rushing stream, clinging to one end
of the broken vines.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Look the divine sagon. He's falling into the river. No
mo see there the other end of the vine it holds.
He is swinging towards the bank.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
He has at least saved himself. There is no fuss
way he can help it.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
We are doomed because he's look at him, blundown the
bank with the speed of a lion might jobs over
sticking if he can but to.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Reach that tree there at the edge of the falls
with the speed of an antelope.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Cartan bounds along the rough banks for the mammoth pull
the copper street that stands.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Close to the river's edge and a few yards back
from the brink of the cataract.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
One great more limb sweeps far out over the river,
streaking the tree. The eight man springs upwards vanishes in
the thick foliage. A moment later he reappears, running lightly
out on the thick grass. He whipped the grass rope
from his shoulder, makes one end pass to a strong limb.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
As the dug out passes swiftly beneath him. He hurls
the south coils, so often.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Tested against the savage strength of the mighty Numa, down
into the outstretched arms of Dano and Godor, the two
men backed by Ashley and Wong, thing to the rope
with all their strength as the heavy dug out jerks
to a standfill in the rushing current, so near the
edge of the cataract that Geet in the prow gasped
as she stears terrified down over the prink of the waterfall.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Hang on and sit hold one quick if it we
only hold against.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
The fool of the current.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
To not worry about that. I have seen it hold
the strongest recently, young, Hold tight. I'm going to one
tie this end and point to the bank.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Si ple Tartan loosened the rope, the muscles of his
great arms and shoulders not in the steel cord. Slowly
but five foot makes his way along the great limb,
tod the river bank, pulling the dug out behind him savagely.
The water boiled and swirls around the canoe as though
reluctant to give up.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
A spray, and the cap touches the shore.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The eight man makes the rope past to a tree,
stops quickly to the ground, and pulled the dug out
halfway out of the water.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Thanks be to the change path.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And I'd rather take my chances with him the yellow women, than.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Go through that again, I accuse of my venerable ancestors.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Sad and thou art A man give me some water,
one of his, and it's fainted far. The reaction was
too much for her. But this brandy o rock here
my flask.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
Will you look at that no.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Thanks, Brandy in.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
The jungle, pull a little in the top of the flash.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He request break this for Terry. I'm all right, Lia,
just couldn't talk. And I don't blame you. I drink
this anyway. He'll do you good. Thanks, Terry. The rest
of it, and she's only a draft. Stop it, Terry,
do you want to brown the door? I leave the
major a.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Little nip after what she's seen through one hammett stand it?
Speaker 13 (15:32):
We shall spe guardy o, Donald, you will rock, get
some wood and start a fire.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'll pull the bug up up on the bank, away
from the water.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I can't believe it will stay on shore. If you
look down over the brink of those falls, Aca, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I was terrible.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
One hundreds of thief grief jagged rocks down there.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
My dear, don't think about it. I'd give up hope myself.
Speaker 14 (15:59):
Your rest now, mademoiselle. Tomorrow we shall find a way
down the cliffs to the there below. Then, Monsieur Rock,
we shall get work for the past.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Right, would you look heaven? Uncle Jan that's Dennis. What
is it? Do you think we'll ever get out of
that awful.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Country of miles?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh? What may do? You ask, I don't know. We're
just wondering.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Make care this experience you did not as well on
the dark.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Thought, I suppose not. How can I help it? With
a man like cars empathy of proof? Why we're bound
to come out all right? It's nearly a matter of
getting the dug out down to the river below the
falls in the morning.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
And carrying on, carrying on?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yes, is I guess you're as one says, don't think
of the unpleasant side of the situation. We will get
through right enough.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
But sometimes one of us, maybe all of us, will
fall into a situation that.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We can't get out of.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
It's impossible for Cars enterthy with everybody all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's wrong is only humor.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Dear, we all see him watches over us and point
our destinies has led us out of danger so far?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Is there any reason to believe you will desert us now?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
I know this terrible, cruel country, filled with every sort
of dangerous, horrible death looking behind each push, every shadow.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
But even if nevers our experience of a few moments
ago has necessarily unnerved your TenneT. If we exercise caution
and trust to the leadership of tasm.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I believe we shall have the sisters fa.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
There you are, my dear, take a lead from the
Frenchman for apparently not a worry on his mind.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You look contented enough there in the moonlight. It's almost
as if you were listening to La concer plant and Tari.
Speaker 14 (17:57):
Only in this case it is the course of the
genle you while listening to you, and now for a
little fire and everything will be ship shaping a moment
you are entirely over the effects about did I say late?
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
That's very dear? You know eyes front, where is.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
Which Tarzani is up?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Tarzan killed a steak and is bringing it in? I
don't understand what.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
About my joke shows excellent?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
You look at.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
All of them waiting for their shopping without a caring
the world, and right after you pull them out of.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
The jar to say, well, he'll be having it now.
It's a better be good, ther s, it will be made.
How do you feel, genetic post I'm sair sharing.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
Then wait till you've.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Had one of these water but steak pat and he
says that they're the best eating in the jungles, Yes,
outside the deepra.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
He doesn't mean.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Why not the jungle, the hungry animal, man or beast
what he can get. Oh, I couldn't. This is not zebra.
Speaker 14 (19:10):
Cut off as much as we can carry, for when
it is seered, it will last several days.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
For myself, I shall eat, and if he does not
par to me to take the first watch, sleep, I
must admit to being tired.
Speaker 13 (19:23):
You had better at all, Red, I'll take the watch
if he day lies soon anyway, I do.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I haven't noticed. The moon is low in the style,
almost touching those treetops over there.
Speaker 14 (19:33):
I shall stand the first watch when I mean daylight
is still several hours away.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You rest, Donald, I'm not tired.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
As the little company finishes its meal of water buck steak,
and each member of the group composes himself to rest,
Tarzan swings lightly to the broad limb of a nearby
tree and settles down with his back to the trunk.
The moon drops swiftly behind the distant horizon, and inky
blackness steals out of the jungle to envelop the slinking camp.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Crickets thicken the air with their shrilling, and the forest
clouds clothes The poar off chatter.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Of monkeys dies away. The hungry roars of numa sheet
and saber drops. The subdued contented rumblings, as having killed
and fed the great jungle.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Beasts, seek their lairs to rest and sleep through the
heat of the approaching day.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
The summits of the tall cliffs and spires glow with
the rosy light of dawn as tarzan arouses the camp
before the rising sun slants into the purple mists of
the jungle. The ape man and his friends have finished
their meager breakfast and are seeking a pathway to the river.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Below the fall.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Oh, what a glorious morning.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Dear, things look a bit different from what they did
last night, they my dear, No, just look back there.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Why that river gorge is beautiful? The high red cliffs,
the say.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
It did look weird and mysterious by moonlight, saw memoriden.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
After coming to that terrible black hole last night, it
looked more beautiful.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
Than anything I've ever seen. There were danger of that catallact,
with everything else out of my mind. Just look down
everything the pro charge and had been unable to I
can't think.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Hello, mamoe, let's go. Hey a done? W Oh? I
look now.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Terry never yells like that unless he's excited.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
About that.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Just give your pas. What are your farms? He well
worn too, angling down the cliff side, probably.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Used by the animals coming to the stream to drink.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
This is not an animal trail. Who else could have?
Speaker 13 (21:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Look here further along. Animals don't cut half through solid rock.
Is that what you mean?
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Thar them?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, that's what are you thinking? But if it takes
us to the river below the falls, and well, it
seems to be lead in.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
A that direction, and that's what we rookie part. We
can come back after the dogle.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
We'll follow it. Donald and I all lead the way. Rock.
You bring up the rear and keep your eyes open
right here. Lead on, then I'll be watching the back trail.
Come on, Donald, the rest of you stay close. Why
do you prey caution? You are not satisfied with your
pianca ting.
Speaker 11 (22:18):
No, Ashley was right when he said animals don't cut
trail to rock, They go round the easiest way.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Then his past he was made by men, maybe for
the same reason we're using it now to get round
the wall. If human beings made this trail, there should
be some sign of things there. Are you mean good prints? Hm?
You don't mean the ground closely and found none.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Their feet don't leave Prince on rocks, Donald, But there
are other signs, many of them broken bushes beside the path.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
What could have been done by some passing animale. No
Luma walks the path.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
He walks in the middle unless he's talking praying, Then
he slips through the bushes beside it, and.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
He does not break twigs or fresh leaves.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Oh shall come for and this pathway has been used
and lately those things on the ground.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yes, the wind were blowing towards us and stead at
our back. You are easy, my friends. Yes, I feel
as if I were walking into a tramp here. Wait,
something wrong? Then I'm going into the trees to look around.
All of you stay right here.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
If I know you were right, We walk deliberately into
an ambush. We are completely surrounded.
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Those finish yellow men they followed us, and.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You know, my child, you are around. Look at their feet,
fire joy those instead of claws.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Are you going to drop that fewer coming up the path?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
No, but down that rifle aroard, don't move any of you.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Slowly, cautiously.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The circle of yellow giants narrows about the little group
waiting tensely not knowing what to expect. Step by step,
the yellow men approach. They're great spears held ready for
instant use.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Uncle Jim, Jim, they're going to kill us.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
That had been their intentions, Genet. They could have done
so long ago, and we would never have known what
truckers now.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Look at their faces, they show more curiosity than cruel
intent to kill.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
At a sign from one who appears to be their leader,
the yellow men hall. The little company is completely and
closely hedged in by the huge creatures. With the point
of his spear almost touching the ape man's breast, the
leader speaks guttroling.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Lookd unga oh woah tk to Tukua.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Tarzan slowly shakes his head in a sign that he
does not understand. A huge yellow savage thumps himself on
the chest.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Rula Mungo, Yula Mungo.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
He is telling it Tazan that his name is Mungo.
Speaker 13 (24:52):
Yes, I am Tazam Tazan.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Of the eph.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Zan you ah Zan.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
While the foot speaks English.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
You understand, Tarzan, Mungo, understand stars Z what you do here.
Speaker 13 (25:19):
We are trying to reach the river in the valley below.
Find our way out.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Of jungle.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Ah Zan, you from long Fungo stop stop at ta
ar Taya?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Who is a Taya?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Are there?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Great queen?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Hm hm you give firesticks, Mungo, no hurts, you know,
Give Mungo take yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And I'm not giving me a rifle up to any
shavy Gil will keep our fire sticks, Mungo. You know,
give Mungo dick Tarzan.
Speaker 12 (26:02):
I think it is best to comply with his demand temporarily.
At least they will only take them by force.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
We cannot hope to fight them all, but to give
up without even try.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Hey, the word Tarzan, and I let that hello. I
have it right in the chest, the major and Wang
already Memono.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Pasa or Roque.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
You know Tarzan that if we were alone, I would
be the first to offer resistance. But Mademoiselle Jeannette, if
we are killed the post to us, what will become
of their right? Give up your rivals, say, Lieutenant, I
don't like it, neither do I or Roquemnami. But we
(26:43):
are only five, not counting Mademoiselle Jeanette.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Look look around you. There are at least thirty of
them against us.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
All right, Mungo, you have our fire sticks. What now
earth you come long?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Mungo? Now stop top They are.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Gamboo.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Hello at the guttle words addressed to his followers. Mungo
turns on his heel and stalks down the trail, closely
hemmed in by their gigantic, yellow skinned captors. Parzan and
his friends, now weaponless follow.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Alerts are my friend, comtu ju, you were right? What
do you mean about the trail being man made and
being used by men? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
So long?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
When do we make a fight on the way to
wait O' rock?
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Have you not noted that our captors are different from
those others? All I know is that I don't like
the looks of things, and asna we can get out
of this the better.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
May a could, monsieur? Can you not understand that an
attempt to fight or escape now.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Would mean but once in death you can make an
awful good try at it off. I think it will
be killed anyway, sooner or later.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And what of Mademoiselle Jeannette no more? We must protect
her for the last man or rock? Of course?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yeah, then the only way we can do that is
to remain alive as long as we can. I do
not think they would kill her but they would not
hesitate to do away with us.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
What do you think that he is?
Speaker 13 (28:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
O Rock? Wait, all right, if you say so, we'll
see it through.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
But at the first sign of treachery, I'm starting.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
In on his head, and with what, monsieur Rock, we
are unarmed with me on two hands, Beghari. We'll wait
a little o' rock until we've seen this queen.
Speaker 10 (28:48):
I'll tell you excellent advice, my friends, and the rock,
I repeat. Had these savages wish too, they could have
killed that other hand back there on the trail.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Well, they're just as bad as the others that took us.
They didn't tell us when they had the chance. Even
after we laid out half a dozen of them, sayth
and Begori, they were all ready.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
To feed us to the crocodile. Started in with me.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
Nevertheless, we are still alive. A good omen, my friend.
And as long as we are alive, is it too
much to hope that a more profigious moment to consider
escape will be given?
Speaker 7 (29:27):
As a bee he talked the legs off a brass chainte.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
But you must admit I am at least logical.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Oh well, yes, maybe you're right. If that's what you mean.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Luther and Dana.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
What do you make of the fact that these creatures
speak English, or that one of them does.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
As the passion At some time they must have had
contact with English speaking white men usual a doctor.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
Naturally, but the two tooed one beyond the cliffs. They
spoke no English, nor seeming lad they understand it.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
It is very easy to see that these fellows are
rather higher mentality than the others, a little less so,
shall I say, the abysmal brute exactly?
Speaker 10 (30:12):
And you have noticed the fact that not one of
these captors of ours has closs feet.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Just what are you driving us?
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Have you never seen a red rose growing on the
same bush with a white one?
Speaker 6 (30:25):
My friends? Grafting? I believe the English call.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
It not real, Mom, I have seen to never depress mons.
You mean those beyond the underground river are really made,
not society ample sea blost only impossible to.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
The scientific train, Lieutenant, nothing is impossible. Fourth or scientific
cross breeding. In this instance we might call it grafting
is a scientific fact. I could say two instances. However,
it is a truly absorbing today.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
No, don't know why I cannot believe. Oh, oh, Mademoiselle Jeanette,
you are poisoned.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Well, we've left the first trail we were, un Lieutenant,
isn't this an elephant pasmer following?
Speaker 7 (31:14):
Now?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Oh wait, dear, so it is.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
I was so deeply engrossed in a discussion with Michiella doctor.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Wong that I did not notice.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
I know, don know.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
We're headed away from the river. Look over there in
that clearic tandor elephants a.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Whole thing, because sheting yellow head and pull in with them. Bolls,
they're handling elephants like regular mahoots right in African Elephants
ain't supposed to be possible, are healthy?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
So I've heard that.
Speaker 11 (31:50):
Yeah, these fellows handle them easily enough.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Look how the beasts lift the men up and put
them on their back.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
Apparently we are going to ride to the abode of
the Queen Ata.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
We shall know immediately Machilla doctor here comes Mongol.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Pity, oh Queen Patia?
Speaker 13 (32:10):
Long way?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Why people go on? Elphant come.
Speaker 13 (32:19):
Hell boy.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
At a shout from Mungo, six great gray beasts, each
guided by a yellow skinned giant, come forward. Tarzan steps
quietly out to meet the nearest. At a grug command
from its rider, the brute's trunk reaches out, encircles the
eight man's body, and lifts him gently to a seat
on its back behind the mahoo. When all are mounted,
the entire troop, following a wide path, strikes off into
(32:58):
the depths of the jungle at high speed. The elephants
follow the winding jungle path until near sunset, the trail
ends abruptly on the edge of a small saucer like valley,
treeless and barren.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Half a mile distant.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
In the center of the plain rises the city of
Ottea constructed of gray rock. The buildings are low, flat
roof one apparently the palace rises above the rest and
is built entirely around and against a tall column of
gray rock, like the keep of an ancient castle. Completely
surrounding the city is a high, wide topped stone wall
(33:32):
with flat roofed watch towers every hundred yards over a
well traveled roadway toward a massive gate. The elephants sway along.
At their approach, the barrier swings open without paws. Mungo
leads through a wide street crowded with gigantic yellow men
and women to halt before a dome roofed powers Mungo
and several of his men dismount at Guttural commands the
(33:52):
elephants carrying tars, and the's friends lift the whites.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
To the ground with their trunks.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Mungo leads the way into a wide, circular chamber for
a least with massive wooden couches covered with lion and
leopard skins.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
White people, stay here very soon, Mungo, you'll come back.
Then you top top a there.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Just like that. If the hair, then Queen's in a
good humor. We can talk with her.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
If she ain't the garia which I had the automatic,
what good would.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
It do you, my friends?
Speaker 10 (34:25):
If we kill this woman, the giants will annihilate us.
A man cannot combat a swarm of ants or bees,
certainly not a horde of armed savages.
Speaker 11 (34:35):
Do you have reasonable terry wongs? Right, great scott Man,
Do you want to get us all killed with your
craving for a fighting?
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Yes, you'll probably get all the fighting you want Terry
before we're out of this.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
It will come to fighting sooner or later. It depends
on the queen.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Ohay, so say very true. In the meantime, those couches, look,
I'm fighting. I think I shall lie down because he's
your friend, Mungo Dot run the head than.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Devil who had made a first trip. They must be
anxious to get over.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
With this stares and white people don't know we go
out day.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Are welcome back.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Solid three chapters. I think that the River Escape was
really great tense action and a chance for tours and
really to shine, as was the jungle tracking, and of
course the introduction of a different group of yellow men
does hint at a bit more complexity in this world,
(35:34):
and we're going to see how that plays out in
future episodes. The explanation of how Jeanette came to be
on the did seem a bit unnatural and forced, but
other than that, again a solid episode.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
All right.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
