As
the
limber
gunners
went
to
the
rear
,
his
horse
trod
in
a
rabbit
hole
and
came
down
,
throwing
him
into
a
depression
of
the
ground
.
At
the
same
moment
the
gun
exploded
behind
him
,
the
ammunition
blew
up
,
there
was
fire
all
about
him
,
and
he
found
himself
lying
under
a
heap
of
charred
dead
men
and
dead
horses
.
"
I
lay
still
,
"
he
said
,
"
scared
out
of
my
wits
,
with
the
fore
quarter
of
a
horse
atop
of
me
.
We
'd
been
wiped
out
.
And
the
smell
--
good
God
!
Like
burnt
meat
!
I
was
hurt
across
the
back
by
the
fall
of
the
horse
,
and
there
I
had
to
lie
until
I
felt
better
.
Just
like
parade
it
had
been
a
minute
before
--
then
stumble
,
bang
,
swish
!
"
"
Wiped
out
!
"
he
said
.
He
had
hid
under
the
dead
horse
for
a
long
time
,
peeping
out
furtively
across
the
common
.
The
Cardigan
men
had
tried
a
rush
,
in
skirmishing
order
,
at
the
pit
,
simply
to
be
swept
out
of
existence
.
Then
the
monster
had
risen
to
its
feet
and
had
begun
to
walk
leisurely
to
and
fro
across
the
common
among
the
few
fugitives
,
with
its
headlike
hood
turning
about
exactly
like
the
head
of
a
cowled
human
being
.
A
kind
of
arm
carried
a
complicated
metallic
case
,
about
which
green
flashes
scintillated
,
and
out
of
the
funnel
of
this
there
smoked
the
Heat-Ray
.
In
a
few
minutes
there
was
,
so
far
as
the
soldier
could
see
,
not
a
living
thing
left
upon
the
common
,
and
every
bush
and
tree
upon
it
that
was
not
already
a
blackened
skeleton
was
burning
.
The
hussars
had
been
on
the
road
beyond
the
curvature
of
the
ground
,
and
he
saw
nothing
of
them
.
He
heard
the
Martians
rattle
for
a
time
and
then
become
still
.
The
giant
saved
Woking
station
and
its
cluster
of
houses
until
the
last
;
then
in
a
moment
the
Heat-Ray
was
brought
to
bear
,
and
the
town
became
a
heap
of
fiery
ruins
.
Then
the
Thing
shut
off
the
Heat-Ray
,
and
turning
its
back
upon
the
artilleryman
,
began
to
waddle
away
towards
the
smouldering
pine
woods
that
sheltered
the
second
cylinder
.
As
it
did
so
a
second
glittering
Titan
built
itself
up
out
of
the
pit
.
The
second
monster
followed
the
first
,
and
at
that
the
artilleryman
began
to
crawl
very
cautiously
across
the
hot
heather
ash
towards
Horsell
.
He
managed
to
get
alive
into
the
ditch
by
the
side
of
the
road
,
and
so
escaped
to
Woking
.
There
his
story
became
ejaculatory
.
The
place
was
impassable
.
It
seems
there
were
a
few
people
alive
there
,
frantic
for
the
most
part
and
many
burned
and
scalded
.
He
was
turned
aside
by
the
fire
,
and
hid
among
some
almost
scorching
heaps
of
broken
wall
as
one
of
the
Martian
giants
returned
.
He
saw
this
one
pursue
a
man
,
catch
him
up
in
one
of
its
steely
tentacles
,
and
knock
his
head
against
the
trunk
of
a
pine
tree
.
At
last
,
after
nightfall
,
the
artilleryman
made
a
rush
for
it
and
got
over
the
railway
embankment
.
Since
then
he
had
been
skulking
along
towards
Maybury
,
in
the
hope
of
getting
out
of
danger
Londonward
.
People
were
hiding
in
trenches
and
cellars
,
and
many
of
the
survivors
had
made
off
towards
Woking
village
and
Send
.
He
had
been
consumed
with
thirst
until
he
found
one
of
the
water
mains
near
the
railway
arch
smashed
,
and
the
water
bubbling
out
like
a
spring
upon
the
road
.
That
was
the
story
I
got
from
him
,
bit
by
bit
.
He
grew
calmer
telling
me
and
trying
to
make
me
see
the
things
he
had
seen
.
He
had
eaten
no
food
since
midday
,
he
told
me
early
in
his
narrative
,
and
I
found
some
mutton
and
bread
in
the
pantry
and
brought
it
into
the
room
.
We
lit
no
lamp
for
fear
of
attracting
the
Martians
,
and
ever
and
again
our
hands
would
touch
upon
bread
or
meat
.
As
he
talked
,
things
about
us
came
darkly
out
of
the
darkness
,
and
the
trampled
bushes
and
broken
rose
trees
outside
the
window
grew
distinct
.
It
would
seem
that
a
number
of
men
or
animals
had
rushed
across
the
lawn
.
I
began
to
see
his
face
,
blackened
and
haggard
,
as
no
doubt
mine
was
also
.
