I
went
on
to
the
crowd
.
There
were
really
,
I
should
think
,
two
or
three
hundred
people
elbowing
and
jostling
one
an
-
other
,
the
one
or
two
ladies
there
being
by
no
means
the
least
active
.
'
He
's
fallen
in
the
pit
!
'
cried
some
one
.
'
Keep
back
!
'
said
several
.
The
crowd
swayed
a
little
,
and
I
elbowed
my
way
through
.
Every
one
seemed
greatly
excited
.
I
heard
a
peculiar
humming
sound
from
the
pit
.
'
I
say
!
'
said
Ogilvy
;
'
help
keep
these
idiots
back
.
We
do
n't
know
what
's
in
the
confounded
thing
,
you
know
!
'
I
saw
a
young
man
,
a
shop
assistant
in
Woking
I
believe
he
was
,
standing
on
the
cylinder
and
trying
to
scramble
out
of
the
hole
again
.
The
crowd
had
pushed
him
in
.
The
end
of
the
cylinder
was
being
screwed
out
from
within
.
Nearly
two
feet
of
shining
screw
projected
.
Somebody
blundered
against
me
,
and
I
narrowly
missed
being
pitched
onto
the
top
of
the
screw
.
I
turned
,
and
as
I
did
so
the
screw
must
have
come
out
,
for
the
lid
of
the
cylinder
fell
upon
the
gravel
with
a
ringing
concussion
.
I
stuck
my
elbow
into
the
person
behind
me
,
and
turned
my
head
towards
the
Thing
again
.
For
a
moment
that
circular
cavity
seemed
perfectly
black
.
I
had
the
sunset
in
my
eyes
.
I
think
everyone
expected
to
see
a
man
emerge
--
possibly
something
a
little
unlike
us
terrestrial
men
,
but
in
all
essentials
a
man
.
I
know
I
did
.
But
,
looking
,
I
presently
saw
some
-
thing
stirring
within
the
shadow
:
greyish
billowy
movements
,
one
above
another
,
and
then
two
luminous
disks
--
like
eyes
.
Then
something
resembling
a
little
grey
snake
,
about
the
thickness
of
a
walking
stick
,
coiled
up
out
of
the
writhing
middle
,
and
wriggled
in
the
air
towards
me
--
and
then
another
.
A
sudden
chill
came
over
me
.
There
was
a
loud
shriek
from
a
woman
behind
.
I
half
turned
,
keeping
my
eyes
fixed
upon
the
cylinder
still
,
from
which
other
tentacles
were
now
projecting
,
and
began
pushing
my
way
back
from
the
edge
of
the
pit
.
I
saw
astonishment
giving
place
to
horror
on
the
faces
of
the
people
about
me
.
I
heard
inarticulate
exclamations
on
all
sides
.
There
was
a
general
movement
backwards
.
I
saw
the
shopman
struggling
still
on
the
edge
of
the
pit
.
I
found
myself
alone
,
and
saw
the
people
on
the
other
side
of
the
pit
running
off
,
Stent
among
them
.
I
looked
again
at
the
cylinder
,
and
ungovernable
terror
gripped
me
.
I
stood
petrified
and
staring
.
