My
first
endeavour
was
naturally
to
see
what
might
be
upon
the
floor
of
the
cavern
,
but
our
grating
lay
in
a
depression
whose
rim
hid
all
this
from
our
eyes
.
Our
foiled
attention
then
fell
back
upon
the
suggestion
of
the
various
sounds
we
heard
,
and
presently
my
eye
caught
a
number
of
faint
shadows
that
played
across
the
dim
roof
far
overhead
.
Indisputably
there
were
several
Selenites
,
perhaps
a
considerable
number
,
in
this
space
,
for
we
could
hear
the
noises
of
their
intercourse
,
and
faint
sounds
that
I
identified
as
their
footfalls
.
There
was
also
a
succession
of
regularly
repeated
sounds
--
chid
,
chid
,
chid
--
which
began
and
ceased
,
suggestive
of
a
knife
or
spade
hacking
at
some
soft
substance
.
Then
came
a
clank
as
if
of
chains
,
a
whistle
and
a
rumble
as
of
a
truck
running
over
a
hollowed
place
,
and
then
again
that
chid
,
chid
,
chid
resumed
.
The
shadows
told
of
shapes
that
moved
quickly
and
rhythmically
,
in
agreement
with
that
regular
sound
,
and
rested
when
it
ceased
.
We
put
our
heads
close
together
,
and
began
to
discuss
these
things
in
noiseless
whispers
.
"
They
are
occupied
,
"
I
said
,
"
they
are
occupied
in
some
way
.
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
They
're
not
seeking
us
,
or
thinking
of
us
.
"
"
Perhaps
they
have
not
heard
of
us
.
"
"
Those
others
are
hunting
about
below
.
If
suddenly
we
appeared
here
--
"
We
looked
at
one
another
.
"
There
might
be
a
chance
to
parley
,
"
said
Cavor
.
