He
went
much
against
his
will
,
for
the
afternoon
was
advancing
and
he
feared
the
fall
of
night
over
that
accursed
place
,
but
it
was
some
comfort
to
have
so
many
people
with
him
.
The
six
men
drove
out
in
a
democrat-wagon
,
following
Ammi
's
buggy
,
and
arrived
at
the
pest-ridden
farmhouse
about
four
o'clock
.
Used
as
the
officers
were
to
gruesome
experiences
,
not
one
remained
unmoved
at
what
was
found
in
the
attic
and
under
the
red
checked
tablecloth
on
the
floor
below
.
The
whole
aspect
of
the
farm
with
its
grey
desolation
was
terrible
enough
,
but
those
two
crumbling
objects
were
beyond
all
bounds
.
No
one
could
look
long
at
them
,
and
even
the
medical
examiner
admitted
that
there
was
very
little
to
examine
.
Specimens
could
be
analysed
,
of
course
,
so
he
busied
himself
in
obtaining
them
--
and
here
it
develops
that
a
very
puzzling
aftermath
occurred
at
the
college
laboratory
where
the
two
phials
of
dust
were
finally
taken
.
Under
the
spectroscope
both
samples
gave
off
an
unknown
spectrum
,
in
which
many
of
the
baffling
bands
were
precisely
like
those
which
the
strange
meteor
had
yielded
in
the
previous
year
.
The
property
of
emitting
this
spectrum
vanished
in
a
month
,
the
dust
thereafter
consisting
mainly
of
alkaline
phosphates
and
carbonates
.
Ammi
would
not
have
told
the
men
about
the
well
if
he
had
thought
they
meant
to
do
anything
then
and
there
.
It
was
getting
toward
sunset
,
and
he
was
anxious
to
be
away
.
But
he
could
not
help
glancing
nervously
at
the
stony
curb
by
the
great
sweep
,
and
when
a
detective
questioned
him
he
admitted
that
Nahum
had
feared
something
down
there
--
so
much
so
that
he
had
never
even
thought
of
searching
it
for
Merwin
or
Zenas
.
After
that
nothing
would
do
but
that
they
empty
and
explore
the
well
immediately
,
so
Ammi
had
to
wait
trembling
while
pail
after
pail
of
rank
water
was
hauled
up
and
splashed
on
the
soaking
ground
outside
.
The
men
sniffed
in
disgust
at
the
fluid
,
and
toward
the
last
held
their
noses
against
the
foetor
they
were
uncovering
.
It
was
not
so
long
a
job
as
they
had
feared
it
would
be
,
since
the
water
was
phenomenally
low
.
There
is
no
need
to
speak
too
exactly
of
what
they
found
.
Merwin
and
Zenas
were
both
there
,
in
part
,
though
the
vestiges
were
mainly
skeletal
.
There
were
also
a
small
deer
and
a
large
dog
in
about
the
same
state
,
and
a
number
of
bones
of
smaller
animals
.
The
ooze
and
slime
at
the
bottom
seemed
inexplicably
porous
and
bubbling
,
and
a
man
who
descended
on
hand-holds
with
a
long
pole
found
that
he
could
sink
the
wooden
shaft
to
any
depth
in
the
mud
of
the
floor
without
meeting
any
solid
obstruction
.
Twilight
had
now
fallen
,
and
lanterns
were
brought
from
the
house
.
Then
,
when
it
was
seen
that
nothing
further
could
be
gained
from
the
well
,
everyone
went
indoors
and
conferred
in
the
ancient
sitting-room
while
the
intermittent
light
of
a
spectral
half-moon
played
wanly
on
the
grey
desolation
outside
.
The
men
were
frankly
nonplussed
by
the
entire
case
,
and
could
find
no
convincing
common
element
to
link
the
strange
vegetable
conditions
,
the
unknown
disease
of
livestock
and
humans
,
and
the
unaccountable
deaths
of
Merwin
and
Zenas
in
the
tainted
well
.
They
had
heard
the
common
country
talk
,
it
is
true
;
but
could
not
believe
that
anything
contrary
to
natural
law
had
occurred
.
No
doubt
the
meteor
had
poisoned
the
soil
,
but
the
illness
of
persons
and
animals
who
had
eaten
nothing
grown
in
that
soil
was
another
matter
.
Was
it
the
well
water
?
Very
possibly
.
It
might
be
a
good
idea
to
analyse
it
.
But
what
peculiar
madness
could
have
made
both
boys
jump
into
the
well
?
Their
deeds
were
so
similar
--
and
the
fragments
shewed
that
they
had
both
suffered
from
the
grey
brittle
death
.
Why
was
everything
so
grey
and
brittle
?
It
was
the
coroner
,
seated
near
a
window
overlooking
the
yard
,
who
first
noticed
the
glow
about
the
well
.
Night
had
fully
set
in
,
and
all
the
abhorrent
grounds
seemed
faintly
luminous
with
more
than
the
fitful
moonbeams
;
but
this
new
glow
was
something
definite
and
distinct
,
and
appeared
to
shoot
up
from
the
black
pit
like
a
softened
ray
from
a
searchlight
,
giving
dull
reflections
in
the
little
ground
pools
where
the
water
had
been
emptied
.
It
had
a
very
queer
colour
,
and
as
all
the
men
clustered
round
the
window
Ammi
gave
a
violent
start
.
For
this
strange
beam
of
ghastly
miasma
was
to
him
of
no
unfamiliar
hue
.
He
had
seen
that
colour
before
,
and
feared
to
think
what
it
might
mean
.
He
had
seen
it
in
the
nasty
brittle
globule
in
that
aërolite
two
summers
ago
,
had
seen
it
in
the
crazy
vegetation
of
the
springtime
,
and
had
thought
he
had
seen
it
for
an
instant
that
very
morning
against
the
small
barred
window
of
that
terrible
attic
room
where
nameless
things
had
happened
.
It
had
flashed
there
a
second
,
and
a
clammy
and
hateful
current
of
vapour
had
brushed
past
him
--
and
then
poor
Nahum
had
been
taken
by
something
of
that
colour
.
He
had
said
so
at
the
last
--
said
it
was
the
globule
and
the
plants
.
After
that
had
come
the
runaway
in
the
yard
and
the
splash
in
the
well
--
and
now
that
well
was
belching
forth
to
the
night
a
pale
insidious
beam
of
the
same
daemoniac
tint
.
It
does
credit
to
the
alertness
of
Ammi
's
mind
that
he
puzzled
even
at
that
tense
moment
over
a
point
which
was
essentially
scientific
.
He
could
not
but
wonder
at
his
gleaning
of
the
same
impression
from
a
vapour
glimpsed
in
the
daytime
,
against
a
window
opening
on
the
morning
sky
,
and
from
a
nocturnal
exhalation
seen
as
a
phosphorescent
mist
against
the
black
and
blasted
landscape
.
It
was
n't
right
--
it
was
against
Nature
--
and
he
thought
of
those
terrible
last
words
of
his
stricken
friend
,
"
It
come
from
some
place
whar
things
ai
n't
as
they
is
here
...
one
o
'
them
professors
said
so
...
"
All
three
horses
outside
,
tied
to
a
pair
of
shrivelled
saplings
by
the
road
,
were
now
neighing
and
pawing
frantically
.
The
wagon
driver
started
for
the
door
to
do
something
,
but
Ammi
laid
a
shaky
hand
on
his
shoulder
.
"
Du
n't
go
out
thar
,
"
he
whispered
.
"
They
's
more
to
this
nor
what
we
know
.
