"TABOO!"
Glenaravan, without a word, raised his arm, a shot! and Kara-Tete fell at his feet.
The sound brought a crowd of natives to the spot. A hundred arms were ready, and Glenarvan's revolver was snatched from him
Kai-Koumou glanced at Glenarvan with a curious expression: then with one hand protecting Glenarvan, with the other he waved off the crowd who were rushing on the party.
At last his voice was heard above the tumult
"Taboo! Taboo!" he shouted.
At that word the crowd stood still before Glenarvan and his companions who for the time were preserved by a supernatural influence.—Page 358
