TARZAN OF THE APES

«The man before him was the embodiment of physical perfection and giant strength; yet it was not upon these he depended in his battle with the great cat, for mighty as were his muscles, they were as nothing by comparison with Numa’s. 

To his agility, to his brain and to his long keen knife he owed his supremacy.»
