Horta

Tarzan walked in toward Horta, who swung now to face his enemy.

For a moment Horta stood motionless facing the ape-man.

Horta, understanding nothing of what Tarzan said, was none the less enraged because of that.

Tarzan of the Apes waited until the upcut of a wicked tusk would have laid open his thigh, then he moved--just the least bit to one side; but so quickly that lightning was a sluggard by comparison, and as he moved, he stooped low and with all the great power of his right arm drove the long blade of his father's hunting knife straight into the heart of Horta, the boar.

And in the meantime Tarzan had dragged the struggling Horta to the limb beside him.

Afterward he returned to his cabin, and breakfasted off the flesh of Horta. This done, he buried the balance of the carcass in the soft earth outside the cabin, for his evening meal.
