In
the
inside
hall
we
found
a
whole
section
of
an
outstanding
angle
moved
away
,
and
from
the
cavity
saw
a
great
hole
dimly
dark
,
and
the
beginning
of
a
rough
staircase
cut
in
the
rock
.
As
it
was
not
pitch
dark
there
was
manifestly
some
means
of
lighting
it
naturally
,
so
without
pause
we
followed
our
host
as
he
descended
.
After
some
forty
or
fifty
steps
cut
in
a
winding
passage
,
we
came
to
a
great
cave
whose
further
end
tapered
away
into
blackness
.
It
was
a
huge
place
,
dimly
lit
by
a
few
irregular
slits
of
eccentric
shape
.
Manifestly
these
were
faults
in
the
rock
which
would
readily
allow
the
windows
be
disguised
.
Close
to
each
of
them
was
a
hanging
shutter
which
could
be
easily
swung
across
by
means
of
a
dangling
rope
.
The
sound
of
the
ceaseless
beat
of
the
waves
came
up
muffled
from
far
below
.
Mr.
Trelawny
at
once
began
to
speak
:
"
This
is
the
spot
which
I
have
chosen
,
as
the
best
I
know
,
for
the
scene
of
our
Great
Experiment
.
In
a
hundred
different
ways
it
fulfils
the
conditions
which
I
am
led
to
believe
are
primary
with
regard
to
success
.
Here
,
we
are
,
and
shall
be
,
as
isolated
as
Queen
Tera
herself
would
have
been
in
her
rocky
tomb
in
the
Valley
of
the
Sorcerer
,
and
still
in
a
rocky
cavern
.
For
good
or
ill
we
must
here
stand
by
our
chances
,
and
abide
by
results
.
If
we
are
successful
we
shall
be
able
to
let
in
on
the
world
of
modern
science
such
a
flood
of
light
from
the
Old
World
as
will
change
every
condition
of
thought
and
experiment
and
practice
.
If
we
fail
,
then
even
the
knowledge
of
our
attempt
will
die
with
us
.
For
this
,
and
all
else
which
may
come
,
I
believe
we
are
prepared
!
"
He
paused
.
No
one
spoke
,
but
we
all
bowed
our
heads
gravely
in
acquiescence
.
He
resumed
,
but
with
a
certain
hesitancy
:
"
It
is
not
yet
too
late
!
If
any
of
you
have
a
doubt
or
misgiving
,
for
God
's
sake
speak
it
now
!
Whoever
it
may
be
,
can
go
hence
without
let
or
hindrance
.
The
rest
of
us
can
go
on
our
way
alone
!
"
Again
he
paused
,
and
looked
keenly
at
us
in
turn
.
We
looked
at
each
other
;
but
no
one
quailed
.
For
my
own
part
,
if
I
had
had
any
doubt
as
to
going
on
,
the
look
on
Margaret
's
face
would
have
reassured
me
.
It
was
fearless
;
it
was
intense
;
it
was
full
of
a
divine
calm
.
Mr.
Trelawny
took
a
long
breath
,
and
in
a
more
cheerful
,
as
well
as
in
a
more
decided
tone
,
went
on
:
"
As
we
are
all
of
one
mind
,
the
sooner
we
get
the
necessary
matters
in
train
the
better
.
Let
me
tell
you
that
this
place
,
like
all
the
rest
of
the
house
,
can
be
lit
with
electricity
.
We
could
not
join
the
wires
to
the
mains
lest
our
secret
should
become
known
,
but
I
have
a
cable
here
which
we
can
attach
in
the
hall
and
complete
the
circuit
!
"
As
he
was
speaking
,
he
began
to
ascend
the
steps
.
From
close
to
the
entrance
he
took
the
end
of
a
cable
;
this
he
drew
forward
and
attached
to
a
switch
in
the
wall
.
Then
,
turning
on
a
tap
,
he
flooded
the
whole
vault
and
staircase
below
with
light
.
I
could
now
see
from
the
volume
of
light
streaming
up
into
the
hallway
that
the
hole
beside
the
staircase
went
direct
into
the
cave
.
Above
it
was
a
pulley
and
a
mass
of
strong
tackle
with
multiplying
blocks
of
the
Smeaton
order
.
Mr.
Trelawny
,
seeing
me
looking
at
this
,
said
,
correctly
interpreting
my
thoughts
:
"
Yes
!
it
is
new
.
I
hung
it
there
myself
on
purpose
.
I
knew
we
should
have
to
lower
great
weights
;
and
as
I
did
not
wish
to
take
too
many
into
my
confidence
,
I
arranged
a
tackle
which
I
could
work
alone
if
necessary
.
"
