I
took
out
a
match
,
of
which
we
had
still
a
few
in
a
box
,
and
lit
a
rush
wick
,
and
then
looked
for
the
doorway
,
but
there
was
nothing
before
us
except
the
solid
rock
.
Gagool
grinned
.
"
The
way
is
there
,
my
lords
.
Ha
!
ha
!
ha
!
"
"
Do
not
jest
with
us
,
"
I
said
sternly
.
"
I
jest
not
,
my
lords
.
See
!
"
and
she
pointed
at
the
rock
.
As
she
did
so
,
on
holding
up
the
lamp
we
perceived
that
a
mass
of
stone
was
rising
slowly
from
the
floor
and
vanishing
into
the
rock
above
,
where
doubtless
there
is
a
cavity
prepared
to
receive
it
.
The
mass
was
of
the
width
of
a
good-sized
door
,
about
ten
feet
high
and
not
less
than
five
feet
thick
.
It
must
have
weighed
at
least
twenty
or
thirty
tons
,
and
was
clearly
moved
upon
some
simple
balance
principle
of
counter-weights
,
probably
the
same
as
that
by
which
the
opening
and
shutting
of
an
ordinary
modern
window
is
arranged
.
How
the
principle
was
set
in
motion
,
of
course
none
of
us
saw
;
Gagool
was
careful
to
avoid
this
;
but
I
have
little
doubt
that
there
was
some
very
simple
lever
,
which
was
moved
ever
so
little
by
pressure
at
a
secret
spot
,
thereby
throwing
additional
weight
on
to
the
hidden
counter-balances
,
and
causing
the
monolith
to
be
lifted
from
the
ground
.
Very
slowly
and
gently
the
great
stone
raised
itself
,
till
at
last
it
had
vanished
altogether
,
and
a
dark
hole
presented
itself
to
us
in
the
place
which
the
door
had
filled
.
Our
excitement
was
so
intense
,
as
we
saw
the
way
to
Solomon
's
treasure
chamber
thrown
open
at
last
,
that
I
for
one
began
to
tremble
and
shake
.
Would
it
prove
a
hoax
after
all
,
I
wondered
,
or
was
old
Da
Silvestra
right
?
Were
there
vast
hoards
of
wealth
hidden
in
that
dark
place
,
hoards
which
would
make
us
the
richest
men
in
the
whole
world
?
We
should
know
in
a
minute
or
two
.
"
Enter
,
white
men
from
the
Stars
,
"
said
Gagool
,
advancing
into
the
doorway
;
"
but
first
hear
your
servant
,
Gagool
the
old
.
The
bright
stones
that
ye
will
see
were
dug
out
of
the
pit
over
which
the
Silent
Ones
are
set
,
and
stored
here
,
I
know
not
by
whom
,
for
that
was
done
longer
ago
than
even
I
remember
.
But
once
has
this
place
been
entered
since
the
time
that
those
who
hid
the
stones
departed
in
haste
,
leaving
them
behind
.
The
report
of
the
treasure
went
down
indeed
among
the
people
who
lived
in
the
country
from
age
to
age
,
but
none
knew
where
the
chamber
was
,
nor
the
secret
of
the
door
.
But
it
happened
that
a
white
man
reached
this
country
from
over
the
mountains
--
perchance
he
too
came
'
from
the
Stars
'
--
and
was
well
received
by
the
king
of
that
day
.
He
it
is
who
sits
yonder
,
"
and
she
pointed
to
the
fifth
king
at
the
table
of
the
Dead
.
"
And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
and
a
woman
of
the
country
who
was
with
him
journeyed
to
this
place
,
and
that
by
chance
the
woman
learnt
the
secret
of
the
door
--
a
thousand
years
might
ye
search
,
but
ye
should
never
find
that
secret
.
Then
the
white
man
entered
with
the
woman
,
and
found
the
stones
,
and
filled
with
stones
the
skin
of
a
small
goat
,
which
the
woman
had
with
her
to
hold
food
.
And
as
he
was
going
from
the
chamber
he
took
up
one
more
stone
,
a
large
one
,
and
held
it
in
his
hand
.
"
Here
she
paused
.
"
Well
,
"
I
asked
,
breathless
with
interest
as
we
all
were
,
"
what
happened
to
Da
Silvestra
?
"
