Korak

Jenkins Chapter 25 Home Within an hour of the fall of Lu-don and Mo-sar, the chiefs and principal warriors of Pal-ul-don gathered in the great throne room of the palace at Alur upon the steps of the lofty pyramid, and placing Jad-on at the apex proclaimed him king.

Upon one side of the old chieftain stood Tarzan of the apes, and upon the other Korak the killer, worthy son of the mighty ape-man.

And when the brief ceremony was over and the warriors with upraised clubs had sworn fealty to their new leader, Jad-on dispatched a trusted company to fetch Olo-a and Panatlee and the women of his own household from Jalur.

And when the warriors discussed the future of Pal-ul-don and the question arose as to the administration of the temples and the fate of the priests, who practically without exception had been disloyal to the government of the king, seeking always only their own power and comfort and aggrandizement, and then it was that Jad-on turned to Tarzan.

And they had put him to death and scaled the walls and come to the inner temple court with not a moment to spare.

The following day O-lo-a and Pan-at-lee and the women of Ja-don's family arrived at the palace of A-lur, and in the great throne room Ta-den and O-lo-a were wed, and Om-at and Pan-at-lee.

For a week Tarzan and Jane and Korak remained the guests of Ja-don, as did Om-at and his black warriors, and then the ape-man announced that he would depart from Pal-ul-don.

Hazy in the minds of their hosts was the location of heaven, and equally so the means by which the gods traveled between their celestial homes and the haunts of men, and so no questionings arose when it was found that the Dor-ul-Otho with his mate and son would travel overland across the mountains and out of Pal-ul-don toward the north.

Daki do do yok.

Out on the level plain that stretched away from the bungalow to the distant jungle, the verdant masses and deep shadows of which were vaguely discernible to the northwest, lay a biplane, in the shade of which lulled two Waziri warriors who had been trained by Korak, the son of Tarzan, in the duties of mechanicians, and, later, to pilot the ship themselves, a fact that had not been without weight in determining Tarzan of the apes to perfect himself in the art of flying, since, as chief of the Waziri, it was not meet that the lesser warriors of his tribe should excel him in any particular.

Adjusting his helmet and goggles, Tarzan climbed into the cockpit.

Better take me along, advised Korak.

Tarzan shook his head, smiling good-naturedly.

Then one of the boys here, urged his son.

A moment later the ship was bumping over the veldt, from which directly it rose in smooth and graceful flight, circled, climbing to a greater altitude, and then sped away in an air line, while on the ground below the six strained their eyes until the wavering speck that it had dwindled to disappeared entirely from their view.

Where do you suppose he is going? asked Miriam.

There, exclaimed the boy, turning triumphantly upon the governess, daki-do-do-yok.

Then one of the boys here, urged his son, you might develop some trouble that would force you to make a landing, and if you have no mechanician along to make repairs, what are you going to do? Walk, replied the ape-man.
