Bomba the Jungle Boy at the Moving Mountain by
Roy Rockwood
This is #2 in the Bomba Series by
Roy Rockwood
This tale describes how Bomba defeats a
band of dangerous headhunters from the distant Giant Cataract. This time
they are lead by Tocarara, the co-Chieftain and half brother of the
wounded Nascanora. It was Bomba himself who wounded Nascanora. The
Medicine Man Ruspak is present again and is even forced by the Jungle
Boy to cure a dying Cody Casson!
After the savages retreat to their old haunts, Bomba
drops Cody off with Pipina the old Indian squaw and finally begins his
journey to the Moving Mountain, where Jojasta the Medicine Man rules in a
ruthless and cruel fashion. Along the way, he battles jaguars and
snakes and rescues the Parkhursts, a family of explorers, from the
headhunters.
Once Bomba arrives at the Moving Mountain, he saves
the lives of Ashati and Neram, former slaves of the Medicine Man and he
confronts Jojasta who verifies that Bomba does indeed look like Bartow
but that if he wanted to learn more of him and Laura, he must undertake
another journey, this time to Sobrinini's isle, the Isle of Snakes, ever
so close to the Giant Cataract!
