It
is
possibly
due
to
the
tension
of
my
mind
,
at
the
time
,
but
even
now
that
start
into
the
hot
stillness
of
the
tropical
afternoon
is
a
singularly
vivid
impression
.
M'ling
went
first
,
his
shoulder
hunched
,
his
strange
black
head
moving
with
quick
starts
as
he
peered
first
on
this
side
of
the
way
and
then
on
that
.
He
was
unarmed
;
his
axe
he
had
dropped
when
he
encountered
the
Swine-man
.
Teeth
were
his
weapons
,
when
it
came
to
fighting
.
Montgomery
followed
with
stumbling
footsteps
,
his
hands
in
his
pockets
,
his
face
downcast
;
he
was
in
a
state
of
muddled
sullenness
with
me
on
account
of
the
brandy
.
My
left
arm
was
in
a
sling
(
it
was
lucky
it
was
my
left
)
,
and
I
carried
my
revolver
in
my
right
.
Soon
we
traced
a
narrow
path
through
the
wild
luxuriance
of
the
island
,
going
northwestward
;
and
presently
M'ling
stopped
,
and
became
rigid
with
watchfulness
.
Montgomery
almost
staggered
into
him
,
and
then
stopped
too
.
Then
,
listening
intently
,
we
heard
coming
through
the
trees
the
sound
of
voices
and
footsteps
approaching
us
.
"
He
is
dead
,
"
said
a
deep
,
vibrating
voice
.
"
He
is
not
dead
;
he
is
not
dead
,
"
jabbered
another
.
"
We
saw
,
we
saw
,
"
said
several
voices
.
"
Hullo
!
"
suddenly
shouted
Montgomery
,
"
Hullo
,
there
!
"
"
Confound
you
!
"
said
I
,
and
gripped
my
pistol
.
There
was
a
silence
,
then
a
crashing
among
the
interlacing
vegetation
,
first
here
,
then
there
,
and
then
half-a-dozen
faces
appeared
,
--
strange
faces
,
lit
by
a
strange
light
.
M'ling
made
a
growling
noise
in
his
throat
.
I
recognised
the
Ape-man
:
I
had
indeed
already
identified
his
voice
,
and
two
of
the
white-swathed
brown-featured
creatures
I
had
seen
in
Montgomery
's
boat
.
With
these
were
the
two
dappled
brutes
and
that
grey
,
horribly
crooked
creature
who
said
the
Law
,
with
grey
hair
streaming
down
its
cheeks
,
heavy
grey
eyebrows
,
and
grey
locks
pouring
off
from
a
central
parting
upon
its
sloping
forehead
,
--
a
heavy
,
faceless
thing
,
with
strange
red
eyes
,
looking
at
us
curiously
from
amidst
the
green
.
For
a
space
no
one
spoke
.
Then
Montgomery
hiccoughed
,
"
Who
--
said
he
was
dead
?
"
The
Monkey-man
looked
guiltily
at
the
hairy-grey
Thing
.
"
He
is
dead
,
"
said
this
monster
.
"
They
saw
.
"
There
was
nothing
threatening
about
this
detachment
,
at
any
rate
.
They
seemed
awestricken
and
puzzled
.
