As the sun dropped swiftly into the west, all that remained of the James West expedition ...
Synopsis:
While the others are gathering wood for a fire, Demura, the Kohrian, voices a weird chant that causes Betty to follow him in a trance-like state. Ultimately, with her faculties numbed by the weird chant, Demura picks Betty up and carries her away. When Captain West returns to find Betty missing, the party goes searching for her. Meanwhile, Tarzan has picked up the scent of Tarmangani (white man) and Numa (lion) and investigates. During the search, Terry encounters a lion and a panther at the same time.

Notes:
These strips do not have dates, but have job serial numbers in each strip (2833-2838). From the ERBzine's List of Daily Tarzan Comic Strips (http://www.erbzine.com/mag22/2293.html), that places this sequence in the storyline for 'Tarzan and the Fires of Kohr' (serial numbers 2833-2892 running through November 20, 1948). The start date for the storyline is not referenced, but we know there were 60 strips in the story. Assuming a normal daily publishing schedule and working backwards from the end date would put the publishing date for strip 2833 at August 30, 1948.
