Why did Marlow think the people screaming on the bank wouldn't attack?

• that they wouldn't attack fellow natives

• they were safe on the water

• they had no weapons

• the screams sounded like they were more sad than aggressive

Answer explanation

They had not the fierce character boding immediate hostile intention. Unexpected, wild, and violent as they had been, they had given me an irresistible impression of sorrow. The glimpse of the steamboat had for some reason filled those savages with unrestrained grief.
