"WATCHING THE FOE. 179 Young as they were, a moment's reflection admon- ished them not to stir from the spot.
But what, then? Cry out, so that the absent ones might hear them ? No ; for this might also attract the attention of the ourang-outang, and bring it upon them. Besides, Helen had shrieked loudly on the first alarm. If any of the hunters had been within hearing, they would have needed no further signal to tell them that some danger threatened her.
If not within hearing, it would be worse... than idle for either of them to cry out again. They deter- mined, therefore, to remain silent, and keep to their position, in the hoj)e that either their father, the Malay, or Murtagh, might come to their speedy relief.
But they were prudent enough not to expose themselves to any wandering glance of the red gorilla's. The moment Henry had joined his sister he had hurried her behind the trunk of the tree, and they were now on the side facing toward the ■forest. There, by looking through the leaves of some orchideous creepers that wreathed the great stem, they could see the dreaded creature without being seen by it.
