And then, glancing at him and following the direction of his gaze, I saw Desiree. Her white body, uncovered, was outlined sharply against the black background of the cavern above.Īll this I saw in a flash, when suddenly Harry's fingers sank into the flesh of my arm with such force that I all but cried out in actual pain. It was necessary to half encircle the cavern, and the passages were so often crossed by other passages that many times we had to guess at the proper road. Death we did not fear, even for Desiree but we remembered the horror of our own experience on the top of that column, and shuddered as we ran.Īs I have said, we had entered the great cavern at a point almost directly opposite the alcove, and therefore at a distance from the entrance we sought. A prayer was on my lips that we might not be too late Harry's lips were compressed together tightly as a vise. We rushed forward side by side, guessing at our way, seeking the entrance to the tunnel that led to the foot of the column. I saw that he understood, and saw too, by the expression that shot into his face, that it would go ill with any Incas who tried to stop us then. For a moment I hesitated, asking myself for what purpose we hastened on thus into the very arms of our enemies then, propelled by instinct or premonition-I know not what-I took a firmer grasp on my spear and followed Harry without word, throwing caution to the winds. There was no longer any doubt of it: we were on our way to the great cavern. But all the Incas appeared to have assembled within, for the corridor remained deserted. Yet we avoided foolhardiness, for as we approached the last turn we proceeded slowly, keeping an eye on the rear. Her profile was toward us it could not have been her eyes or any expression of her face but there was a tenseness about her pose, a stiffening of the muscles of her body, an air of lofty scorn and supreme triumph coming somehow from every line of her motionless figure, that flashed certainty into my brain. It was something indefinable in Desiree's attitude that told me the truth-what, I cannot tell. We followed in the direction they had taken, turning to the right. We waited a while longer, then as no more appeared we started forward and soon had reached the corridor down which they had passed. It was the same sound we had heard twice before a sound as of a great, deep-toned bell ringing sonorously throughout the passages and caverns with a roar that was deafening. As with one impulse we took it, turning to the left, and then flattened ourselves back against the wall as we saw a group of Incas passing at its farther end, some two hundred yards away. Follow me keep your spear ready not a sound, if you love her."Ī short distance ahead we came to another passage, crossing at right angles, broad and straight, and somehow familiar. "They have fired the column-you remember. The corridor in which we now found ourselves stretched straight ahead for a distance, then turned to one side and the corner thus formed was flooded with a brilliant blaze of light We had no sooner turned than we saw that which caused us to glance quickly at each other and hasten our step, while I smothered the ejaculation that rose to my lips. Finally they, too, ceased to appear the corridor was deserted. Their number swelled to a continuous stream, which in turn gradually became thinner and thinner until only a few stragglers were seen trotting behind. There we stood, motionless and scarcely breathing, while group after group of the savages passed in the corridor ahead.
