Every
few
moments
he
called
aloud
the
names
of
the
wanderers
.
The
watchers
in
the
cabin
by
the
beach
heard
the
sound
of
his
voice
growing
ever
fainter
and
fainter
,
until
at
last
it
was
swallowed
up
by
the
myriad
noises
of
the
primeval
wood
.
When
Professor
Archimedes
Q.
Porter
and
his
assistant
,
Samuel
T.
Philander
,
after
much
insistence
on
the
part
of
the
latter
,
had
finally
turned
their
steps
toward
camp
,
they
were
as
completely
lost
in
the
wild
and
tangled
labyrinth
of
the
matted
jungle
as
two
human
beings
well
could
be
,
though
they
did
not
know
it
.
It
was
by
the
merest
caprice
of
fortune
that
they
headed
toward
the
west
coast
of
Africa
,
instead
of
toward
Zanzibar
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
dark
continent
.

When
in
a
short
time
they
reached
the
beach
,
only
to
find
no
camp
in
sight
,
Philander
was
positive
that
they
were
north
of
their
proper
destination
,
while
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
they
were
about
two
hundred
yards
south
of
it
.
It
never
occurred
to
either
of
these
impractical
theorists
to
call
aloud
on
the
chance
of
attracting
their
friends
'
attention
.
Instead
,
with
all
the
assurance
that
deductive
reasoning
from
a
wrong
premise
induces
in
one
,
Mr.
Samuel
T.
Philander
grasped
Professor
Archimedes
Q.
Porter
firmly
by
the
arm
and
hurried
the
weakly
protesting
old
gentleman
off
in
the
direction
of
Cape
Town
,
fifteen
hundred
miles
to
the
south
.
When
Jane
and
Esmeralda
found
themselves
safely
behind
the
cabin
door
the
Negress
's
first
thought
was
to
barricade
the
portal
from
the
inside
.
With
this
idea
in
mind
she
turned
to
search
for
some
means
of
putting
it
into
execution
;
but
her
first
view
of
the
interior
of
the
cabin
brought
a
shriek
of
terror
to
her
lips
,
and
like
a
frightened
child
the
huge
woman
ran
to
bury
her
face
on
her
mistress
'
shoulder
.
Jane
,
turning
at
the
cry
,
saw
the
cause
of
it
lying
prone
upon
the
floor
before
them
--
the
whitened
skeleton
of
a
man
.
A
further
glance
revealed
a
second
skeleton
upon
the
bed
.

"
What
horrible
place
are
we
in
?
"
murmured
the
awe-struck
girl
.
But
there
was
no
panic
in
her
fright
.
At
last
,
disengaging
herself
from
the
frantic
clutch
of
the
still
shrieking
Esmeralda
,
Jane
crossed
the
room
to
look
into
the
little
cradle
,
knowing
what
she
should
see
there
even
before
the
tiny
skeleton
disclosed
itself
in
all
its
pitiful
and
pathetic
frailty
What
an
awful
tragedy
these
poor
mute
bones
proclaimed
!
The
girl
shuddered
at
thought
of
the
eventualities
which
might
lie
before
herself
and
her
friends
in
this
ill-fated
cabin
,
the
haunt
of
mysterious
,
perhaps
hostile
,
beings
.
