For perhaps six or seven seconds he remained erect, but as the black advanced a step he dropped quickly to all fours.
The black met him halfway, and after this--for many minutes--Muskwa hugged closer and closer to the earth while with gleaming eyes he watched the battle.

It was such a fight as only the jungles and the mountains see, and the roar of it drifted up and down the valley.
Like human creatures the two giant beasts used their powerful forearms while with fangs and hind feet they ripped and tore.

For two minutes they were in a close and deadly embrace, both rolling on the ground, now one under and then the other.

The black clawed ferociously; Thor used chiefly his teeth and his terrible right hind foot.

With his forearms he made no effort to rend the black, but used them to hold and throw his enemy.
