There
was
something
very
suggestive
of
a
dog
in
the
cringing
attitude
of
the
creature
.
It
retreated
a
little
way
,
very
like
a
dog
being
sent
home
,
and
stopped
,
looking
at
me
imploringly
with
canine
brown
eyes
.
"
Go
away
,
"
said
I.
"
Do
not
come
near
me
.
"
"
May
I
not
come
near
you
?
"
it
said
.
"
No
;
go
away
,
"
I
insisted
,
and
snapped
my
whip
.
Then
putting
my
whip
in
my
teeth
,
I
stooped
for
a
stone
,
and
with
that
threat
drove
the
creature
away
.
So
in
solitude
I
came
round
by
the
ravine
of
the
Beast
People
,
and
hiding
among
the
weeds
and
reeds
that
separated
this
crevice
from
the
sea
I
watched
such
of
them
as
appeared
,
trying
to
judge
from
their
gestures
and
appearance
how
the
death
of
Moreau
and
Montgomery
and
the
destruction
of
the
House
of
Pain
had
affected
them
.
I
know
now
the
folly
of
my
cowardice
.
Had
I
kept
my
courage
up
to
the
level
of
the
dawn
,
had
I
not
allowed
it
to
ebb
away
in
solitary
thought
,
I
might
have
grasped
the
vacant
sceptre
of
Moreau
and
ruled
over
the
Beast
People
.
As
it
was
I
lost
the
opportunity
,
and
sank
to
the
position
of
a
mere
leader
among
my
fellows
Towards
noon
certain
of
them
came
and
squatted
basking
in
the
hot
sand
.
The
imperious
voices
of
hunger
and
thirst
prevailed
over
my
dread
.
I
came
out
of
the
bushes
,
and
,
revolver
in
hand
,
walked
down
towards
these
seated
figures
.
One
,
a
Wolf-woman
,
turned
her
head
and
stared
at
me
,
and
then
the
others
.
None
attempted
to
rise
or
salute
me
.
I
felt
too
faint
and
weary
to
insist
,
and
I
let
the
moment
pass
.
"
I
want
food
,
"
said
I
,
almost
apologetically
,
and
drawing
near
.
"
There
is
food
in
the
huts
,
"
said
an
Ox-boar-man
,
drowsily
,
and
looking
away
from
me
.
I
passed
them
,
and
went
down
into
the
shadow
and
odours
of
the
almost
deserted
ravine
.
In
an
empty
hut
I
feasted
on
some
specked
and
half-decayed
fruit
;
and
then
after
I
had
propped
some
branches
and
sticks
about
the
opening
,
and
placed
myself
with
my
face
towards
it
and
my
hand
upon
my
revolver
,
the
exhaustion
of
the
last
thirty
hours
claimed
its
own
,
and
I
fell
into
a
light
slumber
,
hoping
that
the
flimsy
barricade
I
had
erected
would
cause
sufficient
noise
in
its
removal
to
save
me
from
surprise
.
In
this
way
I
became
one
among
the
Beast
People
in
the
Island
of
Doctor
Moreau
.
When
I
awoke
,
it
was
dark
about
me
.
My
arm
ached
in
its
bandages
.
I
sat
up
,
wondering
at
first
where
I
might
be
.
I
heard
coarse
voices
talking
outside
.
Then
I
saw
that
my
barricade
had
gone
,
and
that
the
opening
of
the
hut
stood
clear
.
My
revolver
was
still
in
my
hand
.
