Presently
this
incline
became
even
steeper
,
and
we
found
ourselves
climbing
upon
hands
and
knees
among
loose
rubble
which
slid
from
beneath
us
.
Suddenly
an
exclamation
broke
from
Lord
Roxton
.
"
It
's
blocked
!
"
said
he
.
Clustering
behind
him
we
saw
in
the
yellow
field
of
light
a
wall
of
broken
basalt
which
extended
to
the
ceiling
.
"
The
roof
has
fallen
in
!
"
In
vain
we
dragged
out
some
of
the
pieces
.
The
only
effect
was
that
the
larger
ones
became
detached
and
threatened
to
roll
down
the
gradient
and
crush
us
.
It
was
evident
that
the
obstacle
was
far
beyond
any
efforts
which
we
could
make
to
remove
it
.
The
road
by
which
Maple
White
had
ascended
was
no
longer
available
.
Too
much
cast
down
to
speak
,
we
stumbled
down
the
dark
tunnel
and
made
our
way
back
to
the
camp
.
One
incident
occurred
,
however
,
before
we
left
the
gorge
,
which
is
of
importance
in
view
of
what
came
afterwards
.
We
had
gathered
in
a
little
group
at
the
bottom
of
the
chasm
,
some
forty
feet
beneath
the
mouth
of
the
cave
,
when
a
huge
rock
rolled
suddenly
downwards
--
and
shot
past
us
with
tremendous
force
.
It
was
the
narrowest
escape
for
one
or
all
of
us
.
We
could
not
ourselves
see
whence
the
rock
had
come
,
but
our
half-breed
servants
,
who
were
still
at
the
opening
of
the
cave
,
said
that
it
had
flown
past
them
,
and
must
therefore
have
fallen
from
the
summit
.
Looking
upwards
,
we
could
see
no
sign
of
movement
above
us
amidst
the
green
jungle
which
topped
the
cliff
.
There
could
be
little
doubt
,
however
,
that
the
stone
was
aimed
at
us
,
so
the
incident
surely
pointed
to
humanity
--
and
malevolent
humanity
--
upon
the
plateau
.
We
withdrew
hurriedly
from
the
chasm
,
our
minds
full
of
this
new
development
and
its
bearing
upon
our
plans
.
The
situation
was
difficult
enough
before
,
but
if
the
obstructions
of
Nature
were
increased
by
the
deliberate
opposition
of
man
,
then
our
case
was
indeed
a
hopeless
one
.
And
yet
,
as
we
looked
up
at
that
beautiful
fringe
of
verdure
only
a
few
hundreds
of
feet
above
our
heads
,
there
was
not
one
of
us
who
could
conceive
the
idea
of
returning
to
London
until
we
had
explored
it
to
its
depths
.
