With
the
words
he
raised
his
pick
above
his
head
,
and
,
with
a
mighty
blow
,
he
buried
the
point
in
Snipes
'
brain
.
For
a
moment
the
men
stood
silently
looking
at
the
result
of
their
fellow
's
grim
humor
.
Then
one
of
them
spoke
.
"
Served
the
skunk
jolly
well
right
,
"
he
said
.

One
of
the
others
commenced
to
ply
his
pick
to
the
ground
.
The
soil
was
soft
and
he
threw
aside
the
pick
and
grasped
a
shovel
;
then
the
others
joined
him
.
There
was
no
further
comment
on
the
killing
,
but
the
men
worked
in
a
better
frame
of
mind
than
they
had
since
Snipes
had
assumed
command
.
When
they
had
a
trench
of
ample
size
to
bury
the
chest
,
Tarrant
suggested
that
they
enlarge
it
and
inter
Snipes
'
body
on
top
of
the
chest
.
"
It
might
'
elp
fool
any
as
'
appened
to
be
diggin
'
'
ereabouts
,
"
he
explained
.
The
others
saw
the
cunning
of
the
suggestion
,
and
so
the
trench
was
lengthened
to
accommodate
the
corpse
,
and
in
the
center
a
deeper
hole
was
excavated
for
the
box
,
which
was
first
wrapped
in
sailcloth
and
then
lowered
to
its
place
,
which
brought
its
top
about
a
foot
below
the
bottom
of
the
grave
.
Earth
was
shovelled
in
and
tramped
down
about
the
chest
until
the
bottom
of
the
grave
showed
level
and
uniform
.

Two
of
the
men
rolled
the
rat-faced
corpse
unceremoniously
into
the
grave
,
after
first
stripping
it
of
its
weapons
and
various
other
articles
which
the
several
members
of
the
party
coveted
for
their
own
.
They
then
filled
the
grave
with
earth
and
tramped
upon
it
until
it
would
hold
no
more
.
The
balance
of
the
loose
earth
was
thrown
far
and
wide
,
and
a
mass
of
dead
undergrowth
spread
in
as
natural
a
manner
as
possible
over
the
new-made
grave
to
obliterate
all
signs
of
the
ground
having
been
disturbed
.
