An hiitir l a te r 1 was ea t ing one iif the CTI.WS ;.nd, as Crnnga Dass had . said, t hank ing my God t h a t I had a c r u w t . i e u t . XeviT as long as I l ive shall I forget tha t evi n ing meal. The whole popula t ion were s q u a t t i n g on t h e hard sand platform opiiosite the i r dens, huddled over t i ny fires of refuse and dried m s h e s Death, hav ing once laid hi- hand upon these men and forborne to str ike, seemed to stand aloof froui them now. for most of our company were old men. bent and worn and twis ted wi th years, and women aged to all appearance as the fates themselves. They sat together in knots and talked —God only knows w h a t they found t o discuss—in low, equable tones, curious­ly in contras t to the s t r iden t babhie wi th which n.-.tivea a re accustomed to make clay hideous.

Now and t h t n an access of t h a t sud­den fury which had pi issessed me in the morn ing would la}' hold on a m a n or wmuan. and wi th yells and impreca t ions the sufferer would a t t a c k the steep slope unt i l , baffled and bleeding, he fell back on the X'latforni incapable of mov ing a l imb The others would never even raise the i r eyes when this happened, as men too well aware of the fut i l i ty of their fellows' a t t e m p t s and wear ied wi th the i r useless repet i t ion. I saw four such ou tburs t s in t he course of t h a t evening.

C-rnnga Dass took an eminent ly bus i ­nesslike view of my s i tua t ion , and while we were d i n i n g — I can afford to laugh a t the recollecriun now, b u t i t was painful enough a t the t ime—pro­pounded the t e rms on which he would consent to " d o " for me. My 9 rupees o annas-, he argued, a t the r a t e of 3 annas a day, would provide me w i t h fond for ol uays, or about seven weeks — tha t is to say, he would be wi l l ing to c a t t r tor me for t h a t length of t ime. At the end of it I was to look after my­self. For a further considerat ion—vi­delicet my boots - -he would be wi l l ing to allow m e to occupy the den n e s t to his own and would supply me w i t h as much dried grass for bedding as he could spare.

" V e r y well, Gnnga D a s s , " I replied. " T o the first t e rms 1 cheerfully agree,

I bu t as there i== no th ing on ear th to pre-j vent my ki l l ing y.iti as y.m si t here anfl : taking m-rytfririu: That you have-"—I ! t hough t HI the two invaluable crows a t j the t i m . — " I flatly iffu.-e to give yon I my hoots and shall take whichever den ; I plea.-.-.' j The stroke was a bold one. and I was • glad wlfTi I s u : t h a t it had succeeded. .

I had left tir- world, i t s i n n e d , for cen­turies . I was as t'e¥.ain th -n as I am now of my own existence t h a t in the accursed set t lement there was no law - a w t h a t of the strongest , t h a t t he liv­ing ili ad men had thrown behind them every canon of the world which had cast th. m out . and t h a t I had to depend for my own life on my s t rength and vigilance alone. The crew of the i l l fated i t i g n o n e t t e are t he only men -who would unders tand m y frame of mind. " A t p r e sen t , " I argued to myself, " I

am strong ami a uiateli fuv six of these wretches. I t is impera t ive ly necessary thai/1 should, for my own sake, keep both heal th and s t r eng th u n t i l t he hour of my release comes—if i t ever does ."

F. .rtihed wi th these resolutions, I a te and drank as much as I could, and made G n n g a Dass under s t and t h a t I in-tend td to be his master , and t h a t t he least sign of insubordina t ion on h i s p a r t would be visiti: d wi th the only punish­m e n t I had i t i n m y power to inflict— sudden and violent death Short ly after th is I went to bed. T h a t is to say, G n n g a Dass gave me a double a rmful of dr ied bents, which I t h ru s t down the m o u t h of the lair to the r igh t of his. and followed myself, feet foremost, t he hole r u n n i n g about nine feet i n to the sand wi th a sl ight downward incl ina­tion, and be ing nea t ly shored w i t h t im­bers F r o m my den, which faced the r iver front. I was able to wa tch the wa te r s tif t he Stttlej flowing past under the l ight of a y o u n g moon and compose myself to sleep as best I might .

The horrors of that n ioht I shall never forget. My den was nearly as ToarruiY as a eoffci and the sMes had

V.IK u after i r e p ing steal th­ily to the riv. r t: . .nt I round t h a t the internal boat was not th. re My free­dom lay before mo in the next few steps!

By wa lk ing ou t to the first shallow pool that lay a t the toot of t he project­ing h-it horn of t h ' horseshoe I could wade across, m m the t iank of t he crater and make m y w a y in land W i t h ­out a m o m e n t ' s hesi ta t ion I marched briskly past the tussocks where G n n g a Dass had snared the crows and ou t in tlie direction of the smooth white sand beyond. l [ y first st«p from the tuf ts of dried grass showed me how u t t e r l y futi le was a n y hope of escape, for as I p u t m y foot down I felt an indescriba­ble d rawing , sucking mot ion of the sand below. Another m o m e n t and m y leg was swallowed u p nearly to the km?e. I n t he moonl ight t he whole sur­face of the sand seemed to be shaken wi th devilish del ight a t m y disappoint­ment . I s t ruggled clear, swea t ing wi th terror and exert ion, back to t he tus­socks behind me and fell on m y face.

My only means of escape from the semicircle w a s protec ted w i t h a quick­sand!

How long I lay I have no t t h e fa int ­est idea, but I was roused a t last by the malevolent chuckle of G u n g a Dass a t m y ear. " I would advise you, pro­tector of the p o o r " ( the ruffian was speaking Engl ish) , " t o r e t u r n to your house. I t is unhea l thy to l ie down here Moreover, when the boat re tu rns , you wi l l most cer ta inly be rifled at. " H e stood over me in the dim l ight of the dawn chuckl ing and l augh ing to him­self. Suppressing m y first impulse t o catch the m a n by the neck and th row h im on to the quicksand, I rose sul lenly and followed h i m to t h e pla t form be­low the burrows.

Suddenly and futilely, as 1 though t whi le I spoke, I asked, " G u n g a Dass, w h a t is t he good of the boat if I can ' t ge t o u t anyhow ' (" I recollect t h a t even in my deepest t rouble I had been specu­la t ing vaguely on the was te of ammu­ni t ion in g u a r d i n g an al ready well pro­tected foreshore.

G u n g a Dass laughed aga in and m a d e answer : " T h e y have the boat only in dayt ime. I t is for t h e reason t h a t the re is a way. I hope we shall have the pleasure it y o u r company for a m u c h longer t ime, i t is a p leasant spot when you have been here some years and eat­en roas t crow long e n o u g h . "

I staggered, numbed and helpless, to­ward the fetid bu r row allotted to me and fell asleep. An hour or so later I was awakened by a pierc ing scream— the shrill, h igh p i tched scream of a horse in pain. Those who have once hea rd t h a t wi l l never forget the sound. I found some l i t t l e difficulty in scram­bling out of the burrow. W h e n I was in the onen. I saw Pornic . my poor old Pornic, lying dead on the sandy soil. How they had killed h im I cannot guess. Gunga Dass explained that horse was better than crow, and "greatest good of grea tes t number is poli t ical max im. W e are now republic. Mr. Jukes , and you a re ent i t led to a fair share of the beast . If you like, we wi l l pass a vote of thanks . Shal l I propose ' :"

Yes, we were a republ ic indeed—a republic of wild beasts penned a t the bottom of a pi t , to eat and fight and deep ti l l w e died! I a t t empted no pro­test of any kind, b n t sat down and stared a t the hideous s ight in front of me. In less t i m e almost than i t takes me to w r i t e th i s Po rn i c ' s body was di­vided, in some unclean way or other. The men and women had dragged the f ragments on to t he platform and were p repar ing the i r m o r n i n g meal. G u n g a Dass cooked mine . T h e almost i r resis t i ­ble impulse to fly a t the sand walls u n -

i t i l T was wear ied laid hold of m e | afresh, and I had to s t ruggle against i t I wi th all m y migh t . G u n g a Dass was offensively jocu la r t i l l I told h im t h a t if he addressed ano the r r e m a r k of any k ind wha teve r to m e I should s t rangle nirn where he sat. Th i s silenced h im

till silence became insupportable and I bade h im say sornethitig.

" Y o u wil l l ive here t i l l you die l ike the other F e r i n g h i , " he said coolly, w a t c h i n g m e over t h e f ragment of gris­tle t h a t he was gnawing .

" W h a t o ther sahib, you swine? Speak a t once, and d o n ' t stop to tell me a l i e . ' '

" H e i s over t h e r e , " answered G u n g a Dass, p o i n t i n g t o a bur row mouth about four doors t o t h e left of my own. " Y o u can see for yourself. H e died in the burrow as you wil l d ie and I wi l l d ie and as all these men and women and the old child wil l also d i e . "

" F o r p i t y ' s sake, tel l m e all you know about h im. W h o was he ? W h e n did he come, and when did he d i e ? "

Th i s appeal was a weak s tep on m y part Gunga Dass only leered and re­plied, "I will not—unless you give me something f i rs t ."

Then I recollected where I was and s t ruck the m a n between t h e eyes, par­t ia l ly s t u n n i n g h im. H e stepped down f.o..» ti»o yi-iUVv-,.* . .* .„««.«—a, ~T.\T\a\na

and fawning and weeping and a t t emp t ­ing to embrace m y feet, led m e round to the bur row which h e had indicated.

" I know no th ing wha tever about the gent leman. Your God be m y wi tness t h a t I do not. H e w a s as anx ious t o es­cape as you were, a n d he was shot f rom the boat, though we all aid all things to prevent h i m from a t t emp t ing . H e w a s shot h e r e .

'-C4o inside, t^nnga D a s 5 . " said I . " a n d fetch i t n u t . "

I was fe l ing sick and fa in t w i t h horror now. G u n g a Dass near ly rolled off t he p la t form a n d howled aloud.

" B u t I am B r a h m a n , sahib—a h igh caste Brahman . By your soul, by your fa ther ' s soul, do n o t m a k e me do th i s t h i n g ! "

" B r a h m a n or no B r a h m a n , hy m y soul a n d by m y fa the r ' s soul, i n you g o ' . " T said. and. seizing h im b y the shoulders, I c rammed h i s head in to t h e m o u t h of the burrow, k icked the res t of h im in, and, s i t t i n g down, covered m y face with uiy hands.

A t t he end of a few m i n u t e s I hea rd a rus t le and a creak, then G u n g a Dass in a sobbing, choking whisper spealdng -

to himself, then a soft t h u d — a n d I un ­covered m y eyes.

The. dry sand h a d t u r n e d t h e corpse in t rus ted to i ts keeping in to a yellow b town m u m m y . I told G u n g a Dass to stand, off whi le I examined i t . T h e body —clad in an olive green h u n t i n g s u i t m u c h s ta ined and worn, wi th lea ther pads on t h e shoulders—was t h a t of a l- '-n between 30 and 40, above middle h'.-ight. w i t h l ight , sandy ha i r , long mus t ache and a rough, u n k e m p t beard. T h e left can ine of the upper j a w was missing, and a por t ion of the lobe of t h e r i g h t ear was gone. On the second fin­ger of t h e left h a n d was a r i n g — a shield shaped bloodstone set in gold, w i t h a monogram t a a t m i g h t h a v e been e i ther " B . K . " or " B . L . " On the th i rd fin­ger of t he r i g h t hand was a silver r i n g in t he shape of a coiled cobra, m u c h worn and tarnished. G n n g a Dass de­posited a handful of trifles h e had pick­ed ou t of t he bu r row a t m y feet, and. covering t h e face of t he body w i t h m y handkerch ie f . I t u rned to examine these. I give t h e full l ist i n t he hope t h a t i i m a y lead to the identification of the un ­f o r t u n a t e m a n :

1. Bowl of a br ier wood pipe, serra ted i t t he edge, m n c h worn a n d blackened, l ound wi th s t r i ng a t t h e screw.

3. T w o p a t e n t lever keys, w a r d s of Loth broken.

8. Tortoise shell handled penknife , eilver or nickel name plate, marked w i t h monogram " B . K . "

4. Envelope, pos tmark undecipher­able, bea r ing a Vic to r i an s t amp, ad­dressed to "Mis s M o n " — ( r e s t i l legi­ble)— " h a m " — " n t . "

5. I m i t a t i o n crocodile skin notebook wi th pencil. F i r s t 45 pages b lank, 4j-» illegible, 15 other filled w i t h p r iva t e memoranda re la t ing chiefly to th ree persons—a Mrs. L. Singleton, abbrevi­ated several t imes to " L o t S i n g l e , " " M r s . S. M a y " a n d " G a r m i s o n , " re ­ferred to i n places as " J e r r y " or " J a c k . "

6. Hand le of smal l sized h u n t i n g knife. B lade snapped short . B u c k ' s horn, d iamond cut , w i t h swivel a n d r i n g on t h e b u t t ; f r agmen t of cot ton cord a t tached.

I t m u s t no t be supposed t h a t I inven­toried all these th ings on the spot as fully as I have here w r i t t e n t hem down. The notebook first a t t r a c t ed my a t t en­t ion, and I p u t i t in m y pocket w i t h a v i e w t o s t u d y i n g i t l a t e r on. T h e res t of the art icles I conveyed to m y bur­row for safe ty ' s sake, a n d there , b e i n g a methodica l m a n , I inventor ied them. I then r e t u r n e d to t he corpse and or­dered Gunga Dass t o help m e t o ca r ry i t ou t to t h e r iver front. W h i l e we were engaged in this the exploded shell of an old brown ca r t r idge dropped ou t of one of t he pockets and rolled a t m y feet. G u n g a Dass had no t seen i t , a n d I fell to t h i n k i n g t h a t a m a n does no t carry exploded ca r t r idge cases, espe­cially " b r o w n s , " wh ich wil l no t bear loading twice, about w i t h h im when shooting. I n o ther words, t h a t ca r t r i dge case had been fired ins ide t h e crater . Consequent ly t he re m u s t b e a g u n some­where. I was on t h e verge of ask ing G u n g a Dass, b u t checked myself, know­i n g t h a t he would lie. W e laid the body down on t i e edge of t h e qtricksafid by the tussocks. I t was my in ten t ion to push i t ou t and le t i t be swallowed up , the only possible mode of burial that

I could t h i n k of I ordered G n n g a Dass to go away.

Then I g inger ly p u t t h e corpse o u t on t he quicksand. I n do ing so—it w a s ly ing face d o w n w a r d — I tore t h e frai l and ro t t en khak i shoot ing coat open, disclosing a hideous cav i ty in t h e back. I have a l ready told yon t h a t t h e d ry sand had, as i t were, mummified t he body. A m o m e n t ' s g lance showed t h a t t h e gap ing hole had been caused by a gunshot wound. T h e g u n m u s t have been fired w i t h the muzz le a lmost t o u c h i n g t he back. JThe shoot ing coat, be ing in tac t , h a d been d r a w n over t h o body af ter death , wh ich m u s t have been ins tan taneous . T h e secret of t h e poor w r e t c h ' s death was p la in to m e in a flash. Some one of t h e cra ter , p resum­ably G u n g a Dass, m u s t have shot h im w i t h h i s own g u n — t h e shot t h a t fitted t he b rown car t r idges . H e had never a t ­tempted t o escape in t h e face of t h e rifle fire from the b o a t

I pushed t he corpse o u t has t i ly and « M - . . 14 «J«1 . «-«.~* r,iaW*- l U ^ n l l , . i— _ few seconds. I shuddered as I watched. In a dazed, half conscious way I turned to peruse the notebook. A stained and discolored slip of paper had been insert­ed between the binding and the back and dropped ou t as I opened t h e pages . Th i s is w h a t i t con ta ined : " F o u r o u t from crow clump; 3 left; 9 out; 2 r i g h t ; 3 back ; 2 lef t ; 14. o u t ; 2 le f t ; 7 o u t ; 1 lef t ; 9 b a c k ; 2 r i g h t ; 6 b a c k ; 4 r i g h t ; 7 b a c k .

"Have you got iti" he panted. "Will you not let me look at it also? I Bwear t h a t I wi l l r e t u r n i t . "

"Got whati Return what t" I asked. "That which yon have in your hands.

Gnnga Dass had quite forgotten his little fiction about the rifle ballet I re­ceived the inforiMtioa perfectly calm-ly. Morality is blunted by consorting with the dead who are alive.

The prospect of escape had brought G u n g a Dass" ca=te back to h im. H e st".-d up , walked abou t and ges t icula ted violently. E v m t n a l l y I managi 'd to m a k e h im ta lk soberly, a n d he told m e how this Engl i shman had spent s i s mon ths n i g h t after n i g h t i n exploring, inch by inch, tb<=> passage across t he nu icksand : h o w he had declared i t t o be s impl ic i ty itself u p to w i t h i n abou t 20 yards of the r iver b a n k after t u r n i n g the flank of the left horn of t h e horse­shoe. T h i s m u c h he had evident ly no t completed when G u n g a Dass shot h im w i t h h i s own gun .

I n m y frenzy of de l igh t a t t he possi- j bi l i t ies of escape I recollect shak ing h a n d s effusively w i t h G u n g a Dass af ter w e had decided t h a t we were to m a k e a n a t t e m p t to g e t a w a y t h a t very n i g h t I t was wea ry w o r k w a i t i n g t h roughou t t h e afternoon. !

Abou t 10 o'clock, as far as I could judge, w h e n t he moon had j u s t r isen above the l i p of t h e crater . G u n g a Dass m a d e a move for his b u r r o w t o b r i n g '• ou t the gun ba r re l s w h e r e b y to m e a s u r e 1 our pa th . Al l the other wre tched in ­h a b i t a n t s had re t i red to t h t i r l a i r s l ong

ago. The guardian boat drifted down s t ream some hours before, and w e w e r e u t t e r ly alone by the crow c lump. G u n g a Dass, wh i l e ca r ry ing t h e g u n barrels, le t slip the piece of paper which w a s to be our gu ide . I stooped down has t i ly to recover i t , and as I did so I w a s a w a r e t h a t t he diabolical B r a h m a n w a s a im­ing a violent blow a t the b a c k of m y head w i t h the gun barre l . I t was too la te to t u r n round . I m u s t h a v e received t h e blow somewhere on t h e n a p e of m y neck. A h u n d r e d thousand fiery s t a r s danced before m y eyes, and I fell for­w a r d senseless a t t h e edge of t h e qu ick ­sand.

W h e n I recovered consciousness, t h e moon was going down, and I was sensi­b le of intolerable pa in in t h e b a c k of my head. G u n g a Dass h a d disappeared, and m y m o u t h w a s full of blood. I l ay down again a n d p rayed t h a t I m i g h t die w i t h o u t m o r e ado. Then t h e u n ­reasoning fury w h i c h I have before ment ioned la id hold upon m e , and I 9taggered i n l a n d t o w a r d t h e wal l s of the crater . I t seemed t h a t some one w a s cal l ing t o m e i n a whisper , " S a h i b ! Sah ib ! S a h i b ! " exac t ly as m y bearer used to call m e in t h e morn ings .

I fancied t h a t I was del i r ious u n t i l a handful of sand fell a t m y feet. T h e n I looked u p and saw a h e a d peer ing down in to t he a m p h i t h e a t e r — t h e head of Dunnoo, my dog boy, w h o a t t ended t o m y collies. As soon as h e had a t t r ac t ed m y a t t en t i on h e he ld u p h i s h a n d a n d showed a rope. I mot ioned, s t agge r ing t o a n d fro t h e whi le , t h a t h e should t h r o w i t down. I t was a couple of leather punkah ropes knotted together, w i t h a loop a t one end. I slipped t h e loop over m y head and u n d e r m y a r m s ; heard Dunnoo u r g e someth ing fo rward ; was conscious t h a t I w a s being d rag ­ged, face downward , u p the steep sand slope, and the nex t i n s t a n t found m y ­self, choked a n d half fa in t ing , on t h e sand hi l l s overlooking t h e cra ter . D u n ­noo, w i t h h i s face ashy g ray i n t h e moonlight , implored m e no t t o stay, b u t t o ge t back to m y t e n t a t once. • I t seems t h a t he had t racked P o r n i c ' s footpr ints 14 miles across t h e sands t o the c r a t e r ; h a d re tu rned and told m y servants , w h o flat ly refused t o meddle w i t h any one, w h i t e or black, once fallen i n to t he hideous -village of t h e dead, wheraupon P u n n o o h a d t a k e n
