CHAPTER 13

AN ANGRY LEOPARD

THE morning dragged on. In the infirmary the medicine man continued his muttering and at intervals gave Hanson more of the potion.

“How is Arv?” Tom asked Doc Simpson at noontime.

There was little change and Tom was heartsick. “If anything happens to Arv I’ll never forgive myself. I feel responsible for his condition. If it hadn’t been for my expedition, he’d be safe in Shopton.”

Late in the afternoon, the tension was lifted somewhat when Doc Simpson reported that Hanson was no longer delirious, but was sleeping soundly. “That’s a good sign,” he said.

From the Mabawiki village came the steady beat of tomtoms accompanied by chanting. Craig explained that the friendly natives believed Hanson’s illness had been instigated by the fire god in the mountain who wanted no interference. They were trying to appease him with their prayers.
