and Prof Raymond Dart of the University of South Africa The boy the baboons kidnaped according to them 'V was twelve years old when he was finally accidentally captured by police When found the lad was able to utter only the guttural sounds of the baboons Finally he was taught the Afrikaans dialect of South Africa and thereupon gave a most as- t' V'&-S- tounding account of his experiences as a “Tarzan" “My food" the boy related "consisted mostly of crickets ostrich eggs prickly pears green mealies and wild honey I was once kicked on the head by an ostrich while raiding its nest and often was stung by bees while robbing their hives "While with the baboons I walked on all fours and slept in the bush entirely naked I was hunting food one day with my baboon companions when two police1 was

known of a child's having been adopted and raised by monkeys It was a similar but less authentic atory however which prompted Mr DeBogory to organize his present "missing link" expedition which is expected within the year to set out for the lower Congo "Here is the story about the as got it" said Mr DeBogory “It seems that a number of years ago natives of the lower Congo far below Stanleyville captured a baby chimpanzee and raised it to maturity It was a Now it is well known that a female chimpanzee is easily domesticated and is very intelligent "This particular chimpanzee became quite attached to one of the native infants a hoy She hecHine so fond of the child thHt it got to the point where she wouldn't let anyone touch the child At last she ran off with the baby into the jungle and was never seen again "A number of ears passed Then one day a group of native hunters dashed into camp greatly excited They reported that they had come across a animals deep group of
