Chapter 1 summary of "Tarzan Of The Apes"

In this chapter Edgar Rice Burroughs writes about how John Clayton, Lord Greystoke and his wife Alice are on a voyage on the vessel named the Fuwalda. As their voyage moves on, the crew of Fuwalda get angry at the officers and the captain of the boat. An old man from the crew tells Lord Greystone about the anger which is due to the way the officers treat the crew and what they might do to the officers. In addition to the conflict between the crew members and the officers, the crew breaches into John Clayton and Alice's cabin and steal their guns and ammunition. They were warned to stay out of the altercation between the officers and the crew; also not to report anything about the stealing of their guns and about the old man telling them about the angry crew members to the officers and the captain.
