I'VE COT HIM.' 



Events moved swiftly, but it must not be supposed that Bob and the two natives 

 remained idle during the perilous struggle of their friend. They saw his danger 

 and lost no time in running to his help. 



They were not a moment too soon. The other animals began closing around 

 the combatants, when the three reached the spot, where they applied feet and hands 

 with such vigor that the assailants were hurled right and left 



The tumult, by this time, had roused Mr. Godkin and Jack Harvey, 

 scrambled from their quarters and rushed for- 

 ward to take a hand in the disturbance. 



Dick Brownell was a skillful wrestler, and 

 he was making a good fight with 

 his contestant They were on the 

 ground, and the lad had twisted 

 one leg around the lower limbs of 

 the baboon, so as to hold them 

 motionless. He had also secured 

 & grip about the arms, as they may 

 be called, which were so impris- 

 oned that the owner could make 

 oo use of them. 



But the lad's danger 

 was from the teeth of his 

 fierce foe, which made 

 such efforts to bite 

 him that it was hard 

 work to protect 

 his face, and, at 

 the same time, 

 hold the claws 

 motionless. 



"I've got 

 him!" called 

 the brave youth, 

 seeing his friends around 

 him, "and he won't get 

 away either I " 



"We can leave you 

 alone, if you enjoy it w> 

 much," said Mr. Godkin 

 with a laugh, "but I reck- 

 on we'd better interfere." With the help of the men, it was an easy matter co 

 ecure the obstreperous baboon. His legs, both fore and aft, were tied as though 

 his captors were handcuffing an ordinary 'malefactor, and he could only screech nil 



I'VE GOT HIM."
