For
an
hour
or
more
they
heard
it
sniffing
and
clawing
at
the
trees
which
supported
their
platform
,
but
at
last
it
roamed
away
across
the
beach
,
where
Clayton
could
see
it
clearly
in
the
brilliant
moonlight
--
a
great
,
handsome
beast
,
the
largest
he
had
ever
seen
.
During
the
long
hours
of
darkness
they
caught
but
fitful
snatches
of
sleep
,
for
the
night
noises
of
a
great
jungle
teeming
with
myriad
animal
life
kept
their
overwrought
nerves
on
edge
,
so
that
a
hundred
times
they
were
startled
to
wakefulness
by
piercing
screams
,
or
the
stealthy
moving
of
great
bodies
beneath
them
.
Morning
found
them
but
little
,
if
at
all
refreshed
,
though
it
was
with
a
feeling
of
intense
relief
that
they
saw
the
day
dawn
.
As
soon
as
they
had
made
their
meager
breakfast
of
salt
pork
,
coffee
and
biscuit
,
Clayton
commenced
work
upon
their
house
,
for
he
realized
that
they
could
hope
for
no
safety
and
no
peace
of
mind
at
night
until
four
strong
walls
effectually
barred
the
jungle
life
from
them
.
The
task
was
an
arduous
one
and
required
the
better
part
of
a
month
,
though
he
built
but
one
small
room
.
He
constructed
his
cabin
of
small
logs
about
six
inches
in
diameter
,
stopping
the
chinks
with
clay
which
he
found
at
the
depth
of
a
few
feet
beneath
the
surface
soil
.
At
one
end
he
built
a
fireplace
of
small
stones
from
the
beach
.
These
also
he
set
in
clay
and
when
the
house
had
been
entirely
completed
he
applied
a
coating
of
the
clay
to
the
entire
outside
surface
to
the
thickness
of
four
inches
.
In
the
window
opening
he
set
small
branches
about
an
inch
in
diameter
both
vertically
and
horizontally
,
and
so
woven
that
they
formed
a
substantial
grating
that
could
withstand
the
strength
of
a
powerful
animal
.
Thus
they
obtained
air
and
proper
ventilation
without
fear
of
lessening
the
safety
of
their
cabin
.
The
A-shaped
roof
was
thatched
with
small
branches
laid
close
together
and
over
these
long
jungle
grass
and
palm
fronds
,
with
a
final
coating
of
clay
.
The
door
he
built
of
pieces
of
the
packing-boxes
which
had
held
their
belongings
,
nailing
one
piece
upon
another
,
the
grain
of
contiguous
layers
running
transversely
,
until
he
had
a
solid
body
some
three
inches
thick
and
of
such
great
strength
that
they
were
both
moved
to
laughter
as
they
gazed
upon
it
.
Here
the
greatest
difficulty
confronted
Clayton
,
for
he
had
no
means
whereby
to
hang
his
massive
door
now
that
he
had
built
it
.
After
two
days
'
work
,
however
,
he
succeeded
in
fashioning
two
massive
hardwood
hinges
,
and
with
these
he
hung
the
door
so
that
it
opened
and
closed
easily
.
