Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to the great Adventurers of Old Time Radio from Boise, Idaho.
This is your host, Adam Graham. In a moment, we're
going to bring you this week's episode of Tarzan, but
I do want to encourage you to check out our
other podcast and today I'm highlighting the Old Time Radio
snack Wagon, where every week we bring you a different
(00:29):
bit of old time radio in a short, snack size form.
The format can vary from comedy skits to unusual musical offerings,
great storytellers, and so much more. You can listen to
the Old Time Radio snack Wagon at snackwagon dot net
(00:49):
or wherever you get your podcasts from. But now here
are parts four through six, and the tititles are Out
of the danger Zone, Sure by the Yellow Giants and
close Call for Old Rourke.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
In passing through the jungle on their way to a
distant territory, Tarzan and Darno rescue Terence o'lurke from the
double attack of a lion and the leopard. The two
friends accompany Oderk to a small camp and a forest clearing,
where they meet Major Burton, Ashley, Jeanette Burton, and doctor
Wong Taie, who with the Irishman constitute all that remains
(01:25):
of the Burton Ashley expedition.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Upon learning that the.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Four whites have been deserted by their native bearers and
are lost, Tarzan agrees to lead them out of the jungle.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
The ape Man.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Fights and kills a gigantic, yellow skinned half human creature
in defense of the Whites. In returning from a reconnoitering tour,
Tarzan breaks camp and conceals the party high in the
branches of a tree on a platform he is constructed.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
For the purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
As the little group gains the hidden refuge, they hear
the distant thudding of drums.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
What is it, Tarzan drums?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
War drums, I know.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
But through beating what does it mean.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Natives, Miss Burton? Probably a war party? Those drums don't
seem to becoming any closer.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
No, not yet.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Nevertheless, I have thought it wiser and safer for you
to break camp and come here. This platform is wide
enough for all of you to lie down and get
some sleep while you can, And.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
If those natives should come this way.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You'll all be safe here.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I suggest sleep, because we'll have to travel fast and
far and carefully before daylight. Then we'll do the best
we can here, Janet, roll up in a blanket between.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Wong and me, and I just round out today and
make it perfect.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Either you would after Wong should fall out of this
cradle and land on a lion or something.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Those limbs and branches will keep you from falling. Now,
get what rest you can. Donald. You put the fire
out and scattered the ashes.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Me away, Munami, and you are sure nothing was left behind.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Nothing.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
You must have had a good reason for your action, Starzan.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
What did you find?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I left that yellow man's body for Dango, made a
complete circle of the clearing. When I came back to
my starting point, the body was gone.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Ah, Dango had already.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
No, he had not been near it, or if he had,
something drove him off.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
Mmm, some other ranimile of coss. No.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I examined the ground. I found two toad footprints, like
the ones a rod showed us this afternoon, A pretty dear.
I couldn't help hearing each Tazan, I want to know
your voice. No, he was frightening this burton.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
Right, Yeah, and you say he found more of him
cloth for tracks?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yes, The ground where I dropped the body showed several pairs.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Then those drums move here, you think.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I'm sure those drums are being pounded by the yellow
man in why didn't they attack out camp Numa? The
lion keeps them from a night attack. They'll figure on
attacking at daylight. We'll be gone by then.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
If we why did we know what that loss instead
of coming here, because they'll send one or two single
scouts who can take to the trees in case they
meet Numa, to locate and watch the camp or follow
if we leave.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I'm simply giving those scouts a chance to come and
return with the report that we've disappeared, which will bring
the whole crowd here to pick up a thrill.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Is that it exactly? But not until suna. At that
time we'll be well on our way.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'm going back to the clearing now and watch when
the scouts have gone away, I'll be back and then
we'll leave.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Now'll sleep if you can, o' rock, Dna will watch.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
We carry, Lieutenant.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
There's a fellow after me, one hat. But can we
get away with it? What do you think, Monsieur Rock.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Tarzan's powerful left hand grasps a trailing vine, a dizzy,
sweeping arc and he vanishes in the dense blackness, from
one lofty branch to another, through tree tar that rock
and sway. At his swift passage, he makes his way
back to the little clearing. In the dim distance, the
throb of drums swells and fades on the vagrant night wind. Darnah,
(05:11):
with his rifle across his knees, leans back against the
huge trunk of the photocarpus, listening to the stealthy footfalls
of padded paws mingling with the sharp snapping of twigs,
and the wild calls of savage life, the ominous, death
filled voice of the jungle night. The Frenchman nods drowsily,
presently a soft rustle of leaves a slight jar as
(05:33):
a dark shape drops from above and lands lightly on
the platform beside him. Instantly he's awake, his rifle ready, Darnald, Ah, Monandlee.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I must have slept awakened the others we're leaving. Did
they come to the clearing?
Speaker 8 (05:47):
The yellow men?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yes, only one. He went back to the village or
camp to report Ashley.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
What oh, yes, Star then O'Rourke, a doctor Wong, Miss Burton, yes, yes,
keep your voice low, don't make any more noise than.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You have to get your things together quickly.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
I do not hear the drums.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
They stopped long ago. It'll be daybreak at a couple
of hours. Must be a long way from here by then.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Through this jungle wait, as black as the inside of
a tunnel.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
How are we going to the.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Elephant trail at the foot of this tree? We'll follow that.
Are you ready?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Are ready?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Come, miss Burton, I'll carry you. Donald. Let the others
go first, and you follow your compo.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
With the speed of a falling stone, Tarzan drops from
limb to limb through the darkness, the lamb with a
soft thud on the jungle tie.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh's gracious. That drop took my breath. I thought we
were falling.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
By jove, I say it's dangerous. The sliding down fifty
foot vines don't talk.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
It is stated in the classics that all things which
go up must eventually come down. The upward ship was
far less difficult then the Downladsy.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And I didn't have many clothes before.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Now there's nothing left.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
To re shirt but the sleeves. And Donald, the lieutenant.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Was right on me neck.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Here's head from Meza.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Here so dark, I can't see my hand in front
of my face. How in the name of common sense
are we going to keep together?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Take hold of this rope, all of you. Don't let
go Donald, you will last, I'll lead.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Come on, is lion Tarzan. He's very close.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Numa has fared Miss Burton. He won't bother us if
we leave him alone.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Let us hope they all, seeing who guides our footsteps,
has cleared our paths of jungle beasts.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Thus, through mile after mile, Tarzan leads his chargers from
one dark jungle tack away into another. From the thick
black oppressiveness of the forest about them comes a deep,
coughing roar of savage beasts to at least four of
the travelers. Every tree in bush seems but the lurking
place of some huge and horrible monster. Presently, a dense
blue gray mist creeps slowly through the tangle of underbrush,
(08:12):
and little by little, nearby objects begin to stand out
in dim, ghostly relief. The heavy mist becomes tenuous, begins
to lift gradually, until, in a slight puff of wind,
it twines itself like a silver silken scarf about vine
tree and bush. The patterned roof of the forest becomes
etched in the timid green of dawn. Then abruptly, the
(08:34):
red rays of the sun beat diagonally into the gray
mist of the jungle. Beside the trunk of a giant
baobab tree on the bank of a swiftly flowing stream.
Tarzan halts, we'll rest here, there's water.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
He'll not build a fire.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Real.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
I hope I never go through such an experience again.
I was never so frightened in all.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
My life, perserve it.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
It was rather nerve bragging, a sick, jealous and deep
throated munk cursos yellow scene and all their ways unceasingly
I expected every moment to have them resht me out
of the darkness.
Speaker 11 (09:07):
He and if I wasn't in yellow devils, I was
worried about high pass, as if every lion in Africa
was walking alongside of me waiting for me to let
cause that rope of Tarzan. Do you think we are
out of the danger zone Tarzan, as far as those
yellow men are concerned.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
No.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
In that case, I suggest that we pro see that.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Once you're not tired, then fill the canteens.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Sure, and we do that.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Come over here and then water bags.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I will fill them me too. Nuvous. You are nervous, Tason.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Why these people don't know, Oh Lord is the only
one who knows the jungle.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
The others are used to traveling with the Safari. They're
going to have our hands full, But.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
We have had our hands full before this with others
who knew less of their Youngly, once we reach Archmid's Ville,
and I suppose after one with you.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
And Uncle Jim are going to organize another expedition and
begin your search for that old city all over again.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, let discuss that phase of this situation.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's the idea, Janet exactly. I'm sorry to interrupt the discussion,
but we must get underway. If you already will go
all right, you're already to ask them which way.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Downstream on the riverbank.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Come on, however, to get back to our future plan.
That is exactly what we have in mind. Gone, what
a second expedition to find the city of thought. You
don't seem to understand what such a discovery would lead to,
what it would mean to the world of science.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
The finding of a heap of old vine covered stones
in the middle of the African jungle, and that's a
boon of science. No, Uncle Jim I'm sorry, but I
don't understand that.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Suppose, my child, it were not in people thine covered stones.
Suppose it still stands. You know, it's in symbibertic cuty
good by a living.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Race of ancient men.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Oh very well, haven't you away, doctor one?
Speaker 7 (11:06):
But seriously, we've had nothing but trouble since leaving narrowly,
and now you want to go.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Who is he?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Tursday? Somebody coming this way? No camp, just ahead, no
more talk. Now, walks softly, come.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
On, in cautious, single file. The little company proceeds slowly
along the river bank, close to the jungle spring. In
the lead, Tarzan moves forward with the alert noiselessness of
sheet on the leopard. The sound of strange guttural voices
rose ever louder as the group nears a heavy tangle
(11:46):
of underbrush that juts out over the river, obstructing their
view the bank beyond.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Pleasantly, the ape.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Man lifts his hand in silent gesture for his friends
to stop. STEALTHI ley, without so much as the rustle
of a single leaf. Tarzan moves a heavily matted branch
of side and stares into a man made clearing on
the brink of the river. Jeanette, close behind him, looks
cautiously al his shoulder.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Good heavens, Tarzan, Yes, he.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Quired Donald ohe tarzan? What is it? Look there, may
tong ne're depressed?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yellow men?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
May they all seeing protect?
Speaker 10 (12:24):
As there are at least thirty of them?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Why, Joe, we're in for a tarzan Beghari.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
We stepped out of the frying pans straight into the fire.
You're right, Major, We're in a bad spot.
Speaker 12 (12:35):
Could this be the group we heard last night those drums, No,
we left them behind.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
This must be another party.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Look there on the river bend, isn't that a dugout?
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
If we could get to that boat, that's what we're
going to try for.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
It is a long way from here. They will see
us before we half covered the distance.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
We'll take the chance.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
A gley Blue, we must it is the only one
we have, right, Lieutenant. With the boat under us, we
can paddle out to the middle, make faces at the
yellow heathen and maybe reach the congo.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Providing these steam empties into the congo. What do you think,
tazan Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Lord may be right.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Work down to the edge of the river to that
fayre bad tree with the screen of bushes.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Come on, we.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Have the advantage with our rifles. They had armed only
which spears and clubs.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Even so, we couldn't kill more than a few of
them before the others got to us.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Here.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Now, when we leave these bushes, we'll be in the open.
They'll see us. If we can take them by surprise,
maybe we can make it.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Haith twill be a sweet race, and to devil take
the hindmost.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Make straight for the boat. Don't stop until you're in it. Donald,
you go first. I'll bring up the rear ready.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Then go with the rifle ready.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Danod bounds from behind the concealing screen of underbrush straight
toward the dugout. He sprints along the open river bank.
Close behind him, the others following a desperate attempt to
reach the canoe. Before they have covered a third of
the distance, a piercing, weird cry of warning resounds through
(14:05):
the jungle.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Faster, DARNO, they've.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Seen us, we will never naked.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Coin Jeanette Ashley long faster at the cry, The yellow
giants squatting around the fire in the center of the
carrying spring to their feet for an instant they stare
in silent surprise at the fleeing Whites. Then, yelling savagely,
they leap into action with uncanny speed.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
They bound forward.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Toward the dugout in an effort to intercept the fugitives.
Gauging the distance between himself and the boat, Darnaud realizes
that he and these companions can never reach it before
they are caught by the Yellow demons.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
We cannot make it.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Dozens, they run like Antelo.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We'll have to give him a fight.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Them devils are closer to the boat now than.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
We have talkgether on, Zenette, do the best you camp here.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
They come the head and devils let them have it.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Shrieking bellowing, many now spouting blood from gunshot wounds. The
yellow men rush close and surround the little group of whites.
As they stand fighting desperately for their lives. The challenging
cry of the great ape springs out piercingly above the
sounds of battle. One great yellow savage, his shoulder wet
and red with blood charges Tarzan hurls his heavy spear.
(15:26):
The ape man leaps aside, then in close his knife flashes.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Once twice.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
With a weird death scream.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
The yellow Hope lurches forward, falls on Tarzan, bearing into
the ground by sheer weight. Before the ape man can
toss the dead savage aside, he is smothered by a
swarm of yellow bodies. Gradually, the shrill yells, the shots,
the sounds of battle die out. Tarzan is jerked roughly
to his feet. He looks around to seize companions minus
(15:55):
their weapons. Cab feels of a yellow savage.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Pata chance the lock is against us, never mind.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Heye, and we thinned out the devils anyway. Here's five
of them dead and half a dozen wounded.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Are any of your hurts? I have two or three scratches.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
From spears no more?
Speaker 13 (16:16):
How are ye?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Jeannette cushla Oh, I guess I'm all right?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
What would they do? Tom?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I wish I knew, My dear, keep us step up
a let and we can only guess at that, mademoiselle.
Speaker 10 (16:26):
It looks very much, Lieutenant, as if our doom.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
We're already sealed the fire.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Becly you me in, throw us in.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
They're leading us straight to it.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
My friend, Moon Gaza, do you suppose they are cannibal?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It may be.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Look they are dying, Ashley, And look doctor Wong together
back to back, and Or Rook and Jeannette our turn.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Now double up your hands. When I find your wrist.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
They decide our faith.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
At least we keep being roasted.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
For the time being, ice slay. I believe Lieutenant Donald
gets rightly. These featured are cannibals.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Wait, they are throwing they're dead into the rido.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
They wouldn't do that if they were cannibals.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
They are feeding those dead bodies to the crocodiles.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Good heavens, the water's alive with them.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Oh no, by Joe, it sounds as if they were
calling them willa. They are stacking our weapons down there
near de boaked Thank heaven, they're not throwing them in
the river.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
They might just as well for all the good they
ought to us.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Now, Oh, if we could just get out of these.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
Buns, we would only be caught and tied up again,
My child, there are too many.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
We could not.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
Escape your bow and arrows and rope darzar barlah there
close to Jeanette and Or Yes, I.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Know the talking drummer. That's savage pounding on a hollow.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Log with a club.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Talking drum is right. Listen, communicating with the party we
escaped from last night. I'll waiter.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
You know that that means we shall have littleis shortly Dazan.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Yes, if you were free, could you reach your bow
and arrows and get away into the trees.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yes, but I can't leave you on the others. But Tarzan,
you could help us. These strips of hideware tied with
are strong. Take me a long time to work. Loose.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
Move your arms a little? Your hands, can you not
much tide so close together? I'll hurt your arms if
I move mine.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Never bear mind that I can feel then under my fingers,
a very clumsy one. I think I can work it loose.
Now move your arms.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I can't so now sit still.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
While Donald works feverishly at the knot, binding his arms
with those of Tarzan, several yellow men pile wood on
the fire until it becomes a roaring blaze. Two huge
brute squat on the ground beside a hollowed out log
with sticks. They commenced to beat slowly rhythmically on the
improvised drum. The remaining yellow men, grasping spears and clo
ubs and chanting monotonously, circle the fire in an awkward
(20:03):
shuffling dance as each savage passes the little group of captives.
He shakes his spear and glares at them from cruel,
bloodshot eyes.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Ain't a cushler him, devils don't mean us any good.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Jerry, Yes, I'm scared gotty, So am I a.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Look one, Jeanette? Where's where's Tartan? I'm donald gotty? All
of them gone.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
They must have managed it where we were watching these services.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
But why didn't they free us too?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That means they've left us to our faith. They've be
Major Tartan ain't the fellow to dessert. Neither is a
lieutenant who didn't let me finish day. Either they've left
us to our faith, or they'll try to rescue us.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
That's more like it, them to act like they've been
through this arty thing before.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Oh but good heavens, what can they hope to do
alone against so.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Many yape your eyes open, a cushler. They'll be giving
us a chance to escape. When they do, they're ready
to take it. They don't taken Jeanette with them.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
One.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You don't like to think what might happen to her
when they've finished with us.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Praise yourselves.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Here they come, that yellow gang Nord Tartan and dann
Or gotten, yelling and gesticulating savagely the yellow skin The
mob crowds around the poor captives. One huge brute apparently
the leader jerks over Co and Jeanette to their feet,
shaking them fiercely and pointing to the ground where Tarzan
and Darnald lay. He growls words at oh Or players
(21:35):
back at the Yellow Giant, defiantly Ripping a long bronze
knife from the sheep of his belt, the savage presents
the razor sharp point of the irishman's throw.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Pay something then before he cuts your throat.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
If you can't talk, makes time? How the devil can
I with my hands, tide, I will do something. If
you want to live, hid you're talking about you yellow?
Speaker 11 (21:58):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Then what if it's a lieutenant un Tarzan, you're asking
what Dave's gone down?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Ye? Yes, gone is seenough?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
What I mean? For the savage guttural growl, The Yellow
Giant hurls Over and Jeanette to the ground, bends down
and cuts the thongs binding them together once more. He
jerks the Irishman to his feet and thrusts him into the.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Crowd of yellow men.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Jeanette Wong and Ashley watch fearfully as the savages dragle
wrok across the clearing to the river's edge.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Oh it's awful, so fiendish, brute, don't watch it, Janetta Ashley.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Thennette, look in that tall tree at the edge of
the river.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Where but what is it?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
No, no, high up in the branches, jow Tarzan in
a great tree that leans far out over the river. Tarzan,
in full view of the little group, stands poised on
a huge limb high above the water. The ape man
watches the scene below him with alert eyes, bound and helpless,
O'ururk is lifted from the ground by two of the
great yellow men and tossed far out into the swift
(23:07):
flowing stream toward the approaching crocodile. With a dispairing shriek.
The irishman disappears beneath the surface of the water, with
keen eyes on the spot where Urke disappeared. Grasping one
end of a stout trailing vine in his left hand,
the ape man leaps out into space, swoops downward toward
the surface of the river in a wide, dizzy arc,
(23:29):
rolling over and over in the swift current. O'Rourke comes
gasping to the surface. A great bull crocodile is almost
upon him, about to sink again. O'Rourke hears a loud
splash in the water beside him. Two bands of steel
in Circle's body. They grip tightened, and he is jerked
from the water as the crocodile flashes by underneath him
with effortless speed, his steel muscled legs gripping the irishman's body.
(23:52):
Tarzan climbs hand over hand up the trailing vine to
vanish in the thick foliage high above the heads of
the astonished yellow men.
Speaker 10 (23:59):
Oh, oh, thank Heaven, the accused of my ancestors. What
an impossible feat for a human being to perform.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I never seen anything like it, utterly unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
It is very apparent that those yellow scenes are of
the same opinion.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I selay, look how they stare up at the trees.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Mademoiselle Jeannette, Uncle Jim, did you hear the.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Ce here at the edge of the clearing behind you,
my caird Lieutenant Dano Dizzy woo, make no noise, do
not watch me, Keep your eyes.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
On the yellow men.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
Lieutenant Dannald, what my dear steady, Lucy says, pay.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
No attention to them.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Quiet, mademoiselle, and I shall cut you loose. So now
thy perfectly? Stilln't I freed the my jore in the
doctor Wong?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But that's what are we going to do? How will
we get away?
Speaker 8 (24:47):
And now more moon Chaldan will appear on the river
bank upstream. He will lead the savage away from camp. Now,
doctor Wang.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I said Donald, we'd about giving.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
Up figure the works, and the yellow brutes have apparently
forgotten us.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
They are running up river.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Boom boom.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Now are your feet and follow me?
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Yeah, where he dug out?
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Run?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Oh look he saved doctor Wong.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
He will join us presently, Bye Joe, man, how did
you get out of those straps they had us tide
with not under my fingers, never tied by steam hand.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It was not here the rifles.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
We must take them with us. The yellow man they
see us, they're coming back.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Curry, what's those fellows? Cover the ground? Fat feet my
horse into the boat.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
To Terry end their mind, Terry, memoiselle.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, let me give you a hand, Donald, Bye Joe.
That the boat's heavy, if.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
We can only get it afloat yeah, take your rifle,
doctor one.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
We've tried to hold him off, Uncle Jim, Lieutenant hurry, bolla.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Shoot my short see us afloat at last.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Here, Uncle Jim, your rifle.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
Never mind the rifles, the paddlers, oh siblet, Doctor Wong.
We must get out of a range of those spears.
Once in the middle of the riverbic current will carry.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Us past enough.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Lit down on the bank there, Terry, he's running downstream.
All those things will catch him. They see him.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
I did not realize as far as I was leaving
him so near the car, pull in toward the bank.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Doctor woe, my.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Sho, John, Terry, hit the water.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
You pull there right behind you.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Take crocodile swimming downstream to hit him off.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Shoot, Janette, shoot.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Mind your raim, Janet, who missed the brute?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
All yourself to.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Take a time swim or rock?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Well you got him? No, No, he's only wounded. He's still.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
She actually hit that brute over the nose with your paddle. Here,
hold your hands, yea, Pierre. If we inui, you.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
O'll be good in yellow head. And I almost got
me again.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Oh that was a close call. Close call, I should
say it was that crock almost got you, Hatten, he
did that.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
If Tizan hadn't he yanked me out of the drink
when he did.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And if Lieutenant Dano hadn't pulled you into the boat
just now, you'd be giving some crocodile in digestion.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Well, is there one of them?
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Sat your skin brutes after me?
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Now?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
After you you almost had you the wonder you have
any legs left?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Should, But that's what he was shooting at a crushler.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
I was so.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Excited that I guess my aim was there where?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then hey, and I don't know.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
He dropped me out of the trees and said the
lieutenant would pick me off the river bank when he
came by in the boat.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
How did you manage it?
Speaker 10 (28:09):
Daw And must have moved quickly to both be in
the right part at the right time.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
We were behind the fringe of jungle, waiting for a
chance to help. When they dragged a rock to the river.
Tarzan knew what they were going to do. He made
his plan, and the spar of the moment nay could
this is talking drums again. They are probably telling their
(28:37):
tribesmen of our escape. Let them bath the drumstiller arms
fall off. We're safe as long as we stick to
the river. I'm still thinking this dream of carriers to.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
The Congo, perhaps to ride, or if you are, why
did those savages keep faithful us?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I do want he must know we'll be stopped along
route somewhere. I'm in favor of leaving the boat as
soon as Tartan joined us is.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Tartan thinks it is a good idea. We can still
make for the opposite shore and strike off into the
song and be.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Recaptured by the yellow teens as soon as we land.
Speaker 10 (29:16):
Speaking of the opposite shure, do you notice how steep
and high the bank has become almost they cliff, and
the current.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Is much swifter than it was when I reached the boat.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Man more, I had not noticed keeping to the middle
and watching those savage yelled.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Maatation, Lieutenant Downstree. Tartan just dropped out of a tree
into the water. There you see him. He's pulling out
to meet us.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Well, grassopon Dio.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
I was beginning for idea to wonder where he.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Was our self, and you have also seen him.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, one right, take your rock, what out for crocks?
I'll give you a hand with a paddle.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Have you got every money done? All well down?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We are all here, all here safe.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
I'm proun.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Go stay down stream to see if al rocks guess
about the congo was good, Tarzan.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
The rescue of Terry, the way you pulled him out
of the river, it was yes.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Oh man, just watching you swing down from that tree
took my breath away when you set Terry out of
that crock's mouth. The most amazing thing I ever saw
in the.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Excitement of the escaped liet We Major Ashley, Jennette and
I have forgotten to excuse our appreciation for your.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Hand measurable monsieur le Doctor Wong, say no more about.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
You, Tarzan.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I was just saying for Dano that I thought we'd
best make for the opposite.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Oh, we'll have to stay with the dugout.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
But there's spinners keeping peace with us over there. It
must be because they know we'll have to leave them
boat sometime maybe, but not now. Look up there on
the other shore. What do you see why nothing? Watch closely.
I saw them from the trees, yellow men running along
the top of the bank back from the river.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Expect us to land on that side.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Ghurry, we'd have a hard time doing that even if
bim devils weren't there.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Just look at them clips shield down to the water.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
If we do land, we must do so on this side.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
And those fellows know it.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
That must be the reason they are following.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Okay, there's a bend in the river just ahead. Once
beyond that we may find open country again in low banks.
The current seems to be getting sweater all the time,
So Savage is a poster hun like deer to keep
up with us.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
We're going into the bend. Now keep to the middle, Donald.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
What this saints? Look at that woodie.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
We're running straight into a stone wall.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
And look so there crawling out of those keys like
holes in the cliff.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Good lord, there.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Must be hundreds of the yellow peems. Well, Telly, your
guess about the congo. You missed it the old chap.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Maybe I didn't after all. Look at the foot of
the wall, that big hole.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
The river goes right into it under the cliff. They
will last.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Wait.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
I mean you see there are with narrows near the opening.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
The saufage can reach us with their spears.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
I'm easily Those on the cliff wall above, they're preparing
to drop thumbs.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
On this e.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Well, this looks very much like the end, my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
No, I'll take the steering paddle. You all of you
use your rifles, three on a side, and keep them off.
We're going into that hole.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
But then carack water Bots, is there any in there?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Will be back today, rather that my dear them being
said to the crocodile gold books sty on, we're going
to hit and opening up from them to speed. What's
for rocks from above the ricosal Bia.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
This continues to be a much faster paced story than
the Domonds of Us here, and we also get more
of a sense of a partnership between Darno and Torzan,
as there's this sense in which they are trying to
get this party to safety and at this point there
(33:58):
are essentially the only ones who can be relied upon. Now,
maybe to an extent that might end up being true
of a Roorke, but I don't get the impression that,
even though he's a guy, that A'roorke is capable on
the same level as Tarzan and Darno. And of course,
(34:18):
one of Darnau's great contributions, and it happened to the
last serial as well is his knowledge of knots. That
is one place where he is far more capable than Tarzan.
So you might not think that being a navy man
would help much in the jungle, but it does. One
(34:42):
other thing I wanted to share is that I did
actually find some more information on this cereal or a
spin off from this cereal at ebrzine dot com. Tarzan
in the Fire of Tour was actually adapted, but it
(35:04):
wasn't adapted to books. It was adapted to the tours
and daily comic script that premiered in nineteen thirty nine
and ran for two years. Their adaptation of the Fires
of Tour, and this was in a daily script ran
for one hundred and sixty two days. Erb zine has
(35:28):
all of these comics online and I'll include a link,
although I will let you know that there are spoilers ahead.
This is in article four to seven zero one Listener
comments and feedback and a couple of comments from James
who writes on a YouTube for radio show from nineteen
(35:50):
thirty four. The sound quality of this series is most excellent.
I would definitely agree with that. It is not something
you think, yeah, this sounds like what you would expect
to ninety four year old or ninety year old, I
guess in this case radio program to sound like. So
(36:10):
it is well preserved. A few little issues there, but
again for being ninety years old, it's pretty good sound wise.
And he also writes, now I'm really digging that intro music.
I think my snake digs it too. Yeah, I hear you,
and I love the intro music and I miss it.
(36:33):
I don't know why these come without it, but all
of the versions I've been able to find of this
do and I definitely miss the intro music because that
was a really underrated sound. All right, Well, now it's
time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day. Thank

comments to Box thirteen at Great Attractives dot net. From Boise, Idaho.
This is your host, Adam Graham signing off.
Welcome to the great Adventurers of Old Time Radio from Boise, Idaho.
This is your host, Adam Graham. In a moment, we're
going to bring you this week's episode of Tarzan, but
I do want to encourage you to check out our
other podcast and today I'm highlighting the Old Time Radio
snack Wagon, where every week we bring you a different
(00:29):
bit of old time radio in a short, snack size form.
The format can vary from comedy skits to unusual musical offerings,
great storytellers, and so much more. You can listen to
the Old Time Radio snack Wagon at snackwagon dot net
(00:49):
or wherever you get your podcasts from. But now here
are parts four through six, and the tititles are Out
of the danger Zone, Sure by the Yellow Giants and
close Call for Old Rourke.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
In passing through the jungle on their way to a
distant territory, Tarzan and Darno rescue Terence o'lurke from the
double attack of a lion and the leopard. The two
friends accompany Oderk to a small camp and a forest clearing,
where they meet Major Burton, Ashley, Jeanette Burton, and doctor
Wong Taie, who with the Irishman constitute all that remains
(01:25):
of the Burton Ashley expedition.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Upon learning that the.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Four whites have been deserted by their native bearers and
are lost, Tarzan agrees to lead them out of the jungle.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
The ape Man.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Fights and kills a gigantic, yellow skinned half human creature
in defense of the Whites. In returning from a reconnoitering tour,
Tarzan breaks camp and conceals the party high in the
branches of a tree on a platform he is constructed.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
For the purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
As the little group gains the hidden refuge, they hear
the distant thudding of drums.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
What is it, Tarzan drums?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
War drums, I know.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
But through beating what does it mean.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Natives, Miss Burton? Probably a war party? Those drums don't
seem to becoming any closer.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
No, not yet.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Nevertheless, I have thought it wiser and safer for you
to break camp and come here. This platform is wide
enough for all of you to lie down and get
some sleep while you can, And.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
If those natives should come this way.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You'll all be safe here.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I suggest sleep, because we'll have to travel fast and
far and carefully before daylight. Then we'll do the best
we can here, Janet, roll up in a blanket between.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Wong and me, and I just round out today and
make it perfect.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Either you would after Wong should fall out of this
cradle and land on a lion or something.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Those limbs and branches will keep you from falling. Now,
get what rest you can. Donald. You put the fire
out and scattered the ashes.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Me away, Munami, and you are sure nothing was left behind.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Nothing.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
You must have had a good reason for your action, Starzan.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
What did you find?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I left that yellow man's body for Dango, made a
complete circle of the clearing. When I came back to
my starting point, the body was gone.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Ah, Dango had already.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
No, he had not been near it, or if he had,
something drove him off.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
Mmm, some other ranimile of coss. No.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I examined the ground. I found two toad footprints, like
the ones a rod showed us this afternoon, A pretty dear.
I couldn't help hearing each Tazan, I want to know
your voice. No, he was frightening this burton.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
Right, Yeah, and you say he found more of him
cloth for tracks?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yes, The ground where I dropped the body showed several pairs.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Then those drums move here, you think.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I'm sure those drums are being pounded by the yellow
man in why didn't they attack out camp Numa? The
lion keeps them from a night attack. They'll figure on
attacking at daylight. We'll be gone by then.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
If we why did we know what that loss instead
of coming here, because they'll send one or two single
scouts who can take to the trees in case they
meet Numa, to locate and watch the camp or follow
if we leave.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I'm simply giving those scouts a chance to come and
return with the report that we've disappeared, which will bring
the whole crowd here to pick up a thrill.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Is that it exactly? But not until suna. At that
time we'll be well on our way.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'm going back to the clearing now and watch when
the scouts have gone away, I'll be back and then
we'll leave.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Now'll sleep if you can, o' rock, Dna will watch.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
We carry, Lieutenant.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
There's a fellow after me, one hat. But can we
get away with it? What do you think, Monsieur Rock.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Tarzan's powerful left hand grasps a trailing vine, a dizzy,
sweeping arc and he vanishes in the dense blackness, from
one lofty branch to another, through tree tar that rock
and sway. At his swift passage, he makes his way
back to the little clearing. In the dim distance, the
throb of drums swells and fades on the vagrant night wind. Darnah,
(05:11):
with his rifle across his knees, leans back against the
huge trunk of the photocarpus, listening to the stealthy footfalls
of padded paws mingling with the sharp snapping of twigs,
and the wild calls of savage life, the ominous, death
filled voice of the jungle night. The Frenchman nods drowsily,
presently a soft rustle of leaves a slight jar as
(05:33):
a dark shape drops from above and lands lightly on
the platform beside him. Instantly he's awake, his rifle ready, Darnald, Ah, Monandlee.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I must have slept awakened the others we're leaving. Did
they come to the clearing?
Speaker 8 (05:47):
The yellow men?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yes, only one. He went back to the village or
camp to report Ashley.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
What oh, yes, Star then O'Rourke, a doctor Wong, Miss Burton, yes, yes,
keep your voice low, don't make any more noise than.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You have to get your things together quickly.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
I do not hear the drums.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
They stopped long ago. It'll be daybreak at a couple
of hours. Must be a long way from here by then.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Through this jungle wait, as black as the inside of
a tunnel.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
How are we going to the.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Elephant trail at the foot of this tree? We'll follow that.
Are you ready?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Are ready?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Come, miss Burton, I'll carry you. Donald. Let the others
go first, and you follow your compo.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
With the speed of a falling stone, Tarzan drops from
limb to limb through the darkness, the lamb with a
soft thud on the jungle tie.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Oh's gracious. That drop took my breath. I thought we
were falling.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
By jove, I say it's dangerous. The sliding down fifty
foot vines don't talk.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
It is stated in the classics that all things which
go up must eventually come down. The upward ship was
far less difficult then the Downladsy.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And I didn't have many clothes before.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Now there's nothing left.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
To re shirt but the sleeves. And Donald, the lieutenant.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Was right on me neck.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Here's head from Meza.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
Here so dark, I can't see my hand in front
of my face. How in the name of common sense
are we going to keep together?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Take hold of this rope, all of you. Don't let
go Donald, you will last, I'll lead.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Come on, is lion Tarzan. He's very close.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Numa has fared Miss Burton. He won't bother us if
we leave him alone.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Let us hope they all, seeing who guides our footsteps,
has cleared our paths of jungle beasts.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Thus, through mile after mile, Tarzan leads his chargers from
one dark jungle tack away into another. From the thick
black oppressiveness of the forest about them comes a deep,
coughing roar of savage beasts to at least four of
the travelers. Every tree in bush seems but the lurking
place of some huge and horrible monster. Presently, a dense
blue gray mist creeps slowly through the tangle of underbrush,
(08:12):
and little by little, nearby objects begin to stand out
in dim, ghostly relief. The heavy mist becomes tenuous, begins
to lift gradually, until, in a slight puff of wind,
it twines itself like a silver silken scarf about vine
tree and bush. The patterned roof of the forest becomes
etched in the timid green of dawn. Then abruptly, the
(08:34):
red rays of the sun beat diagonally into the gray
mist of the jungle. Beside the trunk of a giant
baobab tree on the bank of a swiftly flowing stream.
Tarzan halts, we'll rest here, there's water.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
He'll not build a fire.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Real.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
I hope I never go through such an experience again.
I was never so frightened in all.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
My life, perserve it.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
It was rather nerve bragging, a sick, jealous and deep
throated munk cursos yellow scene and all their ways unceasingly
I expected every moment to have them resht me out
of the darkness.
Speaker 11 (09:07):
He and if I wasn't in yellow devils, I was
worried about high pass, as if every lion in Africa
was walking alongside of me waiting for me to let
cause that rope of Tarzan. Do you think we are
out of the danger zone Tarzan, as far as those
yellow men are concerned.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
No.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
In that case, I suggest that we pro see that.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Once you're not tired, then fill the canteens.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Sure, and we do that.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Come over here and then water bags.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I will fill them me too. Nuvous. You are nervous, Tason.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Why these people don't know, Oh Lord is the only
one who knows the jungle.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
The others are used to traveling with the Safari. They're
going to have our hands full, But.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
We have had our hands full before this with others
who knew less of their Youngly, once we reach Archmid's Ville,
and I suppose after one with you.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
And Uncle Jim are going to organize another expedition and
begin your search for that old city all over again.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, let discuss that phase of this situation.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
That's the idea, Janet exactly. I'm sorry to interrupt the discussion,
but we must get underway. If you already will go
all right, you're already to ask them which way.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Downstream on the riverbank.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Come on, however, to get back to our future plan.
That is exactly what we have in mind. Gone, what
a second expedition to find the city of thought. You
don't seem to understand what such a discovery would lead to,
what it would mean to the world of science.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
The finding of a heap of old vine covered stones
in the middle of the African jungle, and that's a
boon of science. No, Uncle Jim I'm sorry, but I
don't understand that.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Suppose, my child, it were not in people thine covered stones.
Suppose it still stands. You know, it's in symbibertic cuty
good by a living.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Race of ancient men.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Oh very well, haven't you away, doctor one?
Speaker 7 (11:06):
But seriously, we've had nothing but trouble since leaving narrowly,
and now you want to go.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Listen?
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Who is he?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Tursday? Somebody coming this way? No camp, just ahead, no
more talk. Now, walks softly, come.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
On, in cautious, single file. The little company proceeds slowly
along the river bank, close to the jungle spring. In
the lead, Tarzan moves forward with the alert noiselessness of
sheet on the leopard. The sound of strange guttural voices
rose ever louder as the group nears a heavy tangle
(11:46):
of underbrush that juts out over the river, obstructing their
view the bank beyond.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Pleasantly, the ape.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Man lifts his hand in silent gesture for his friends
to stop. STEALTHI ley, without so much as the rustle
of a single leaf. Tarzan moves a heavily matted branch
of side and stares into a man made clearing on
the brink of the river. Jeanette, close behind him, looks
cautiously al his shoulder.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Good heavens, Tarzan, Yes, he.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Quired Donald ohe tarzan? What is it? Look there, may
tong ne're depressed?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yellow men?
Speaker 6 (12:22):
May they all seeing protect?
Speaker 10 (12:24):
As there are at least thirty of them?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Why, Joe, we're in for a tarzan Beghari.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
We stepped out of the frying pans straight into the fire.
You're right, Major, We're in a bad spot.
Speaker 12 (12:35):
Could this be the group we heard last night those drums, No,
we left them behind.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
This must be another party.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Look there on the river bend, isn't that a dugout?
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
If we could get to that boat, that's what we're
going to try for.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
It is a long way from here. They will see
us before we half covered the distance.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
We'll take the chance.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
A gley Blue, we must it is the only one
we have, right, Lieutenant. With the boat under us, we
can paddle out to the middle, make faces at the
yellow heathen and maybe reach the congo.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Providing these steam empties into the congo. What do you think,
tazan Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Lord may be right.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Work down to the edge of the river to that
fayre bad tree with the screen of bushes.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Come on, we.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Have the advantage with our rifles. They had armed only
which spears and clubs.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Even so, we couldn't kill more than a few of
them before the others got to us.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Here.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Now, when we leave these bushes, we'll be in the open.
They'll see us. If we can take them by surprise,
maybe we can make it.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Haith twill be a sweet race, and to devil take
the hindmost.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Make straight for the boat. Don't stop until you're in it. Donald,
you go first. I'll bring up the rear ready.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Then go with the rifle ready.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Danod bounds from behind the concealing screen of underbrush straight
toward the dugout. He sprints along the open river bank.
Close behind him, the others following a desperate attempt to
reach the canoe. Before they have covered a third of
the distance, a piercing, weird cry of warning resounds through
(14:05):
the jungle.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Faster, DARNO, they've.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Seen us, we will never naked.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Coin Jeanette Ashley long faster at the cry, The yellow
giants squatting around the fire in the center of the
carrying spring to their feet for an instant they stare
in silent surprise at the fleeing Whites. Then, yelling savagely,
they leap into action with uncanny speed.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
They bound forward.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Toward the dugout in an effort to intercept the fugitives.
Gauging the distance between himself and the boat, Darnaud realizes
that he and these companions can never reach it before
they are caught by the Yellow demons.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
We cannot make it.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Dozens, they run like Antelo.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
We'll have to give him a fight.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Them devils are closer to the boat now than.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
We have talkgether on, Zenette, do the best you camp here.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
They come the head and devils let them have it.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Shrieking bellowing, many now spouting blood from gunshot wounds. The
yellow men rush close and surround the little group of whites.
As they stand fighting desperately for their lives. The challenging
cry of the great ape springs out piercingly above the
sounds of battle. One great yellow savage, his shoulder wet
and red with blood charges Tarzan hurls his heavy spear.
(15:26):
The ape man leaps aside, then in close his knife flashes.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Once twice.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
With a weird death scream.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
The yellow Hope lurches forward, falls on Tarzan, bearing into
the ground by sheer weight. Before the ape man can
toss the dead savage aside, he is smothered by a
swarm of yellow bodies. Gradually, the shrill yells, the shots,
the sounds of battle die out. Tarzan is jerked roughly
to his feet. He looks around to seize companions minus
(15:55):
their weapons. Cab feels of a yellow savage.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Pata chance the lock is against us, never mind.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Heye, and we thinned out the devils anyway. Here's five
of them dead and half a dozen wounded.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Are any of your hurts? I have two or three scratches.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
From spears no more?
Speaker 13 (16:16):
How are ye?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Jeannette cushla Oh, I guess I'm all right?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
What would they do? Tom?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I wish I knew, My dear, keep us step up
a let and we can only guess at that, mademoiselle.
Speaker 10 (16:26):
It looks very much, Lieutenant, as if our doom.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
We're already sealed the fire.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Becly you me in, throw us in.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
They're leading us straight to it.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
My friend, Moon Gaza, do you suppose they are cannibal?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It may be.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Look they are dying, Ashley, And look doctor Wong together
back to back, and Or Rook and Jeannette our turn.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Now double up your hands. When I find your wrist.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
They decide our faith.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
At least we keep being roasted.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
For the time being, ice slay. I believe Lieutenant Donald
gets rightly. These featured are cannibals.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Wait, they are throwing they're dead into the rido.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
They wouldn't do that if they were cannibals.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
They are feeding those dead bodies to the crocodiles.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Good heavens, the water's alive with them.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Oh no, by Joe, it sounds as if they were
calling them willa. They are stacking our weapons down there
near de boaked Thank heaven, they're not throwing them in
the river.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
They might just as well for all the good they
ought to us.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Now, Oh, if we could just get out of these.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
Buns, we would only be caught and tied up again,
My child, there are too many.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
We could not.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
Escape your bow and arrows and rope darzar barlah there
close to Jeanette and Or Yes, I.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Know the talking drummer. That's savage pounding on a hollow.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Log with a club.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Talking drum is right. Listen, communicating with the party we
escaped from last night. I'll waiter.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
You know that that means we shall have littleis shortly Dazan.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Yes, if you were free, could you reach your bow
and arrows and get away into the trees.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yes, but I can't leave you on the others. But Tarzan,
you could help us. These strips of hideware tied with
are strong. Take me a long time to work. Loose.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
Move your arms a little? Your hands, can you not
much tide so close together? I'll hurt your arms if
I move mine.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Never bear mind that I can feel then under my fingers,
a very clumsy one. I think I can work it loose.
Now move your arms.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I can't so now sit still.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
While Donald works feverishly at the knot, binding his arms
with those of Tarzan, several yellow men pile wood on
the fire until it becomes a roaring blaze. Two huge
brute squat on the ground beside a hollowed out log
with sticks. They commenced to beat slowly rhythmically on the
improvised drum. The remaining yellow men, grasping spears and clo
ubs and chanting monotonously, circle the fire in an awkward
(20:03):
shuffling dance as each savage passes the little group of captives.
He shakes his spear and glares at them from cruel,
bloodshot eyes.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Ain't a cushler him, devils don't mean us any good.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Jerry, Yes, I'm scared gotty, So am I a.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Look one, Jeanette? Where's where's Tartan? I'm donald gotty? All
of them gone.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
They must have managed it where we were watching these services.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
But why didn't they free us too?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That means they've left us to our faith. They've be
Major Tartan ain't the fellow to dessert. Neither is a
lieutenant who didn't let me finish day. Either they've left
us to our faith, or they'll try to rescue us.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
That's more like it, them to act like they've been
through this arty thing before.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Oh but good heavens, what can they hope to do
alone against so.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Many yape your eyes open, a cushler. They'll be giving
us a chance to escape. When they do, they're ready
to take it. They don't taken Jeanette with them.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
One.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You don't like to think what might happen to her
when they've finished with us.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Praise yourselves.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Here they come, that yellow gang Nord Tartan and dann
Or gotten, yelling and gesticulating savagely the yellow skin The
mob crowds around the poor captives. One huge brute apparently
the leader jerks over Co and Jeanette to their feet,
shaking them fiercely and pointing to the ground where Tarzan
and Darnald lay. He growls words at oh Or players
(21:35):
back at the Yellow Giant, defiantly Ripping a long bronze
knife from the sheep of his belt, the savage presents
the razor sharp point of the irishman's throw.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Pay something then before he cuts your throat.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
If you can't talk, makes time? How the devil can
I with my hands, tide, I will do something. If
you want to live, hid you're talking about you yellow?
Speaker 11 (21:58):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Then what if it's a lieutenant un Tarzan, you're asking
what Dave's gone down?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Ye? Yes, gone is seenough?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
What I mean? For the savage guttural growl, The Yellow
Giant hurls Over and Jeanette to the ground, bends down
and cuts the thongs binding them together once more. He
jerks the Irishman to his feet and thrusts him into the.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Crowd of yellow men.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Jeanette Wong and Ashley watch fearfully as the savages dragle
wrok across the clearing to the river's edge.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Oh it's awful, so fiendish, brute, don't watch it, Janetta Ashley.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Thennette, look in that tall tree at the edge of
the river.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Where but what is it?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
No, no, high up in the branches, jow Tarzan in
a great tree that leans far out over the river. Tarzan,
in full view of the little group, stands poised on
a huge limb high above the water. The ape man
watches the scene below him with alert eyes, bound and helpless,
O'ururk is lifted from the ground by two of the
great yellow men and tossed far out into the swift
(23:07):
flowing stream toward the approaching crocodile. With a dispairing shriek.
The irishman disappears beneath the surface of the water, with
keen eyes on the spot where Urke disappeared. Grasping one
end of a stout trailing vine in his left hand,
the ape man leaps out into space, swoops downward toward
the surface of the river in a wide, dizzy arc,
(23:29):
rolling over and over in the swift current. O'Rourke comes
gasping to the surface. A great bull crocodile is almost
upon him, about to sink again. O'Rourke hears a loud
splash in the water beside him. Two bands of steel
in Circle's body. They grip tightened, and he is jerked
from the water as the crocodile flashes by underneath him
with effortless speed, his steel muscled legs gripping the irishman's body.
(23:52):
Tarzan climbs hand over hand up the trailing vine to
vanish in the thick foliage high above the heads of
the astonished yellow men.
Speaker 10 (23:59):
Oh, oh, thank Heaven, the accused of my ancestors. What
an impossible feat for a human being to perform.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I never seen anything like it, utterly unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
It is very apparent that those yellow scenes are of
the same opinion.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I selay, look how they stare up at the trees.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Mademoiselle Jeannette, Uncle Jim, did you hear the.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Ce here at the edge of the clearing behind you,
my caird Lieutenant Dano Dizzy woo, make no noise, do
not watch me, Keep your eyes.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
On the yellow men.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
Lieutenant Dannald, what my dear steady, Lucy says, pay.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
No attention to them.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Quiet, mademoiselle, and I shall cut you loose. So now
thy perfectly? Stilln't I freed the my jore in the
doctor Wong?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But that's what are we going to do? How will
we get away?
Speaker 8 (24:47):
And now more moon Chaldan will appear on the river
bank upstream. He will lead the savage away from camp. Now,
doctor Wang.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I said Donald, we'd about giving.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
Up figure the works, and the yellow brutes have apparently
forgotten us.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
They are running up river.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Boom boom.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Now are your feet and follow me?
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Yeah, where he dug out?
Speaker 8 (25:19):

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Oh look he saved doctor Wong.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
He will join us presently, Bye Joe, man, how did
you get out of those straps they had us tide
with not under my fingers, never tied by steam hand.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It was not here the rifles.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
We must take them with us. The yellow man they
see us, they're coming back.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Curry, what's those fellows? Cover the ground? Fat feet my
horse into the boat.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
To Terry end their mind, Terry, memoiselle.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, let me give you a hand, Donald, Bye Joe.
That the boat's heavy, if.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
We can only get it afloat yeah, take your rifle,

We've tried to hold him off, Uncle Jim, Lieutenant hurry, bolla.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Shoot my short see us afloat at last.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Here, Uncle Jim, your rifle.
Speaker 8 (26:19):

We must get out of a range of those spears.
Once in the middle of the riverbic current will carry.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Us past enough.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Lit down on the bank there, Terry, he's running downstream.
All those things will catch him. They see him.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
I did not realize as far as I was leaving
him so near the car, pull in toward the bank.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Doctor woe, my.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Sho, John, Terry, hit the water.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
You pull there right behind you.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Take crocodile swimming downstream to hit him off.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Shoot, Janette, shoot.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Mind your raim, Janet, who missed the brute?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
All yourself to.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Take a time swim or rock?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Well you got him? No, No, he's only wounded. He's still.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
She actually hit that brute over the nose with your paddle. Here,
hold your hands, yea, Pierre. If we inui, you.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
O'll be good in yellow head. And I almost got
me again.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Oh that was a close call. Close call, I should
say it was that crock almost got you, Hatten, he
did that.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
If Tizan hadn't he yanked me out of the drink
when he did.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
And if Lieutenant Dano hadn't pulled you into the boat
just now, you'd be giving some crocodile in digestion.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Well, is there one of them?
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Sat your skin brutes after me?
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Now?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
After you you almost had you the wonder you have
any legs left?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Should, But that's what he was shooting at a crushler.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
I was so.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Excited that I guess my aim was there where?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then hey, and I don't know.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
He dropped me out of the trees and said the
lieutenant would pick me off the river bank when he
came by in the boat.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
How did you manage it?
Speaker 10 (28:09):
Daw And must have moved quickly to both be in
the right part at the right time.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
We were behind the fringe of jungle, waiting for a
chance to help. When they dragged a rock to the river.
Tarzan knew what they were going to do. He made
his plan, and the spar of the moment nay could
this is talking drums again. They are probably telling their
(28:37):
tribesmen of our escape. Let them bath the drumstiller arms
fall off. We're safe as long as we stick to
the river. I'm still thinking this dream of carriers to.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
The Congo, perhaps to ride, or if you are, why
did those savages keep faithful us?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I do want he must know we'll be stopped along
route somewhere. I'm in favor of leaving the boat as
soon as Tartan joined us is.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Tartan thinks it is a good idea. We can still
make for the opposite shore and strike off into the
song and be.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Recaptured by the yellow teens as soon as we land.
Speaker 10 (29:16):
Speaking of the opposite shure, do you notice how steep
and high the bank has become almost they cliff, and
the current.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Is much swifter than it was when I reached the boat.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Man more, I had not noticed keeping to the middle
and watching those savage yelled.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Maatation, Lieutenant Downstree. Tartan just dropped out of a tree
into the water. There you see him. He's pulling out
to meet us.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Well, grassopon Dio.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
I was beginning for idea to wonder where he.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Was our self, and you have also seen him.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, one right, take your rock, what out for crocks?
I'll give you a hand with a paddle.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Have you got every money done? All well down?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We are all here, all here safe.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
I'm proun.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Go stay down stream to see if al rocks guess
about the congo was good, Tarzan.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
The rescue of Terry, the way you pulled him out
of the river, it was yes.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Oh man, just watching you swing down from that tree
took my breath away when you set Terry out of
that crock's mouth. The most amazing thing I ever saw
in the.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Excitement of the escaped liet We Major Ashley, Jennette and
I have forgotten to excuse our appreciation for your.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Hand measurable monsieur le Doctor Wong, say no more about.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
You, Tarzan.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I was just saying for Dano that I thought we'd
best make for the opposite.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Oh, we'll have to stay with the dugout.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
But there's spinners keeping peace with us over there. It
must be because they know we'll have to leave them
boat sometime maybe, but not now. Look up there on
the other shore. What do you see why nothing? Watch closely.
I saw them from the trees, yellow men running along
the top of the bank back from the river.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Expect us to land on that side.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Ghurry, we'd have a hard time doing that even if
bim devils weren't there.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Just look at them clips shield down to the water.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
If we do land, we must do so on this side.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
And those fellows know it.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
That must be the reason they are following.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Okay, there's a bend in the river just ahead. Once
beyond that we may find open country again in low banks.
The current seems to be getting sweater all the time,
So Savage is a poster hun like deer to keep
up with us.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
We're going into the bend. Now keep to the middle, Donald.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
What this saints? Look at that woodie.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
We're running straight into a stone wall.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
And look so there crawling out of those keys like
holes in the cliff.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Good lord, there.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Must be hundreds of the yellow peems. Well, Telly, your
guess about the congo. You missed it the old chap.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Maybe I didn't after all. Look at the foot of
the wall, that big hole.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
The river goes right into it under the cliff. They
will last.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Wait.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
I mean you see there are with narrows near the opening.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
The saufage can reach us with their spears.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
I'm easily Those on the cliff wall above, they're preparing
to drop thumbs.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
On this e.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Well, this looks very much like the end, my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
No, I'll take the steering paddle. You all of you
use your rifles, three on a side, and keep them off.
We're going into that hole.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
But then carack water Bots, is there any in there?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Will be back today, rather that my dear them being
said to the crocodile gold books sty on, we're going
to hit and opening up from them to speed. What's
for rocks from above the ricosal Bia.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
This continues to be a much faster paced story than
the Domonds of Us here, and we also get more
of a sense of a partnership between Darno and Torzan,
as there's this sense in which they are trying to
get this party to safety and at this point there
(33:58):
are essentially the only ones who can be relied upon. Now,
maybe to an extent that might end up being true
of a Roorke, but I don't get the impression that,
even though he's a guy, that A'roorke is capable on
the same level as Tarzan and Darno. And of course,
(34:18):
one of Darnau's great contributions, and it happened to the
last serial as well is his knowledge of knots. That
is one place where he is far more capable than Tarzan.
So you might not think that being a navy man
would help much in the jungle, but it does. One
(34:42):
other thing I wanted to share is that I did
actually find some more information on this cereal or a
spin off from this cereal at ebrzine dot com. Tarzan
in the Fire of Tour was actually adapted, but it
(35:04):
wasn't adapted to books. It was adapted to the tours
and daily comic script that premiered in nineteen thirty nine
and ran for two years. Their adaptation of the Fires
of Tour, and this was in a daily script ran
for one hundred and sixty two days. Erb zine has
(35:28):
all of these comics online and I'll include a link,
although I will let you know that there are spoilers ahead.
This is in article four to seven zero one Listener
comments and feedback and a couple of comments from James
who writes on a YouTube for radio show from nineteen
(35:50):
thirty four. The sound quality of this series is most excellent.
I would definitely agree with that. It is not something
you think, yeah, this sounds like what you would expect
to ninety four year old or ninety year old, I
guess in this case radio program to sound like. So
(36:10):
it is well preserved. A few little issues there, but
again for being ninety years old, it's pretty good sound wise.
And he also writes, now I'm really digging that intro music.
I think my snake digs it too. Yeah, I hear you,
and I love the intro music and I miss it.
(36:33):
I don't know why these come without it, but all
of the versions I've been able to find of this
do and I definitely miss the intro music because that
was a really underrated sound. All right, Well, now it's
time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day. Thank
