Tarzan deliberately refuses to defend himself inthe duel, even offering the count his own weapon after the latterfails to kill him with his own, a grand gesture that convinces hisantagonist of his innocence. In return, Count Raoul finds him a jobas a special agent in Algeria for the ministry of war. A sequenceof adventures among the local Arabs ensues, including another brushwith Rokoff. Afterwords, Tarzan sails for Cape Town and strikes upa shipboard acquaintance with Hazel Strong, a friend of Jane's.
