I
looked
,
and
it
was
even
so
;
a
faint
white
ghost
of
light
in
the
remoter
cavern
roof
.
That
seemed
to
give
me
double
strength
.
"
Keep
close
,
"
I
said
.
A
flat
,
long
Selenite
dashed
out
of
the
darkness
,
and
squealed
and
fled
.
I
halted
,
and
stopped
Cavor
with
my
hand
.
I
hung
my
jacket
over
my
crowbar
,
ducked
round
the
next
carcass
,
dropped
jacket
and
crowbar
,
showed
myself
,
and
darted
back
.
"
Chuzz-flick
,
"
just
one
arrow
came
.
We
were
close
on
the
Selenites
,
and
they
were
standing
in
a
crowd
,
broad
,
short
,
and
tall
together
,
with
a
little
battery
of
their
shooting
implements
pointing
down
the
cave
.
Three
or
four
other
arrows
followed
the
first
,
then
their
fire
ceased
.
I
stuck
out
my
head
,
and
escaped
by
a
hair
's
-
breadth
.
This
time
I
drew
a
dozen
shots
or
more
,
and
heard
the
Selenites
shouting
and
twittering
as
if
with
excitement
as
they
shot
.
I
picked
up
jacket
and
crowbar
again
.
"
Now
!
"
said
I
,
and
thrust
out
the
jacket
.
"
Chuzz-zz-zz-zz
!
Chuzz
!
"
In
an
instant
my
jacket
had
grown
a
thick
beard
of
arrows
,
and
they
were
quivering
all
over
the
carcass
behind
us
.
Instantly
I
slipped
the
crowbar
out
of
the
jacket
,
dropped
the
jacket
--
for
all
I
know
to
the
contrary
it
is
lying
up
there
in
the
moon
now
--
and
rushed
out
upon
them
.
For
a
minute
perhaps
it
was
massacre
.
I
was
too
fierce
to
discriminate
,
and
the
Selenites
were
probably
too
scared
to
fight
.
At
any
rate
they
made
no
sort
of
fight
against
me
.
I
saw
scarlet
,
as
the
saying
is
.
I
remember
I
seemed
to
be
wading
among
those
leathery
,
thin
things
as
a
man
wades
through
tall
grass
,
mowing
and
hitting
,
first
right
,
then
left
;
smash
.
Little
drops
of
moisture
flew
about
.
I
trod
on
things
that
crushed
and
piped
and
went
slippery
.
The
crowd
seemed
to
open
and
close
and
flow
like
water
They
seemed
to
have
no
combined
plan
whatever
.
There
were
spears
flew
about
me
,
I
was
grazed
over
the
ear
by
one
.
I
was
stabbed
once
in
the
arm
and
once
in
the
cheek
,
but
I
only
found
that
out
afterwards
,
when
the
blood
had
had
time
to
run
and
cool
and
feel
wet
.
What
Cavor
did
I
do
not
know
.
For
a
space
it
seemed
that
this
fighting
had
lasted
for
an
age
,
and
must
needs
go
on
for
ever
.
Then
suddenly
it
was
all
over
,
and
there
was
nothing
to
be
seen
but
the
backs
of
heads
bobbing
up
and
down
as
their
owners
ran
in
all
directions
...
I
seemed
altogether
unhurt
.
I
ran
forward
some
paces
,
shouting
,
then
turned
about
.
I
was
amazed
.
