Grabs ann

Kong’s interest had been aroused by the unusual look of this sacrifice. In clothing, in appearance, she was unlike anything else on the island. From experience, he knew that he could not simply pluck Ann from her bonds without hurting her. The ropes, however, offered no difficulty. The loops about the pillars were knotted in such a way that with a sharp tug they became undone. Once he had pulled them, the strands fell away from Ann’s wrists, and she would have fallen had Kong not supported her with his hand.
