The
heading
of
the
following
chapter
indicates
that
the
adventures
of
William
Guy
and
his
companions
after
destruction
of
the
English
schooner
,
and
the
details
of
their
history
subsequent
to
the
departure
of
Arthur
Pym
and
Dirk
Peters
,
are
about
to
be
narrated
with
all
possible
brevity
.
We
carried
our
treasure
-
trove
to
the
cavern
,
and
had
happiness
of
restoring
all
four
men
to
life
.
In
reality
,
it
was
hunger
,
nothing
but
hunger
,
which
had
reduced
the
poor
fellows
to
the
semblance
of
death
.
On
the
8th
of
February
,
1828
,
the
crew
of
the
Jane
,
having
no
reason
to
doubt
the
good
faith
of
the
population
of
Tsalal
Island
,
or
that
of
their
chief
,
Too
-
Wit
,
disembarked
,
in
order
to
visit
the
village
of
Klock
-
Klock
,
having
previously
put
the
schooner
into
a
state
of
defense
,
leaving
six
men
on
board
.
The
crew
,
counting
William
Guy
,
the
captain
,
Arthur
Pym
,
and
Dirk
Peters
,
formed
a
body
of
thirty
-
two
men
armed
with
guns
,
pistols
,
and
knives
.
The
dog
Tiger
accompanied
them
.
On
reaching
the
narrow
gorge
leading
to
the
village
preceded
and
followed
by
the
numerous
warriors
of
Too
Wit
,
the
little
company
divided
,
Arthur
Pym
,
Dirk
Peters
,
and
Allen
(
the
sailor
)
entering
a
cleft
in
the
hill
-
side
with
the
intention
of
crossing
it
to
the
other
side
.
From
that
moment
their
companions
were
never
to
see
them
more
.
After
a
short
interval
a
shock
was
felt
.
The
opposite
hill
fell
down
in
a
vast
heap
,
burying
William
Guy
and
his
twenty
-
eight
companions
.
Twenty
-
two
of
these
unfortunate
men
were
crushed
to
death
on
the
instant
,
and
their
bodies
would
never
be
found
under
that
mass
of
earth
.
Seven
,
miraculously
sheltered
in
the
depth
of
a
great
cleft
of
the
hill
,
had
survived
the
catastrophe
.
These
were
William
Guy
,
Patterson
,
Roberts
,
Coyin
,
Trinkle
,
also
Forbes
and
Sexton
,
since
dead
.
As
for
Tiger
,
they
knew
not
whether
he
had
perished
in
the
landslip
,
or
whether
he
had
escaped
.
There
existed
in
the
right
side
of
the
hill
,
as
well
as
in
the
left
,
on
either
side
of
the
fissure
,
certain
winding
passages
,
and
it
was
by
crawling
along
these
in
the
darkness
that
William
Guy
,
Patterson
,
and
the
others
reached
a
cavity
which
let
in
light
and
air
in
abundance
.
From
this
shelter
they
beheld
the
attack
on
the
Jane
by
sixty
pirogues
,
the
defence
made
by
the
six
men
on
board
;
the
invasion
of
the
ship
by
the
savages
,
and
finally
the
explosion
which
caused
the
death
of
a
vast
number
of
natives
as
well
as
the
complete
destruction
of
the
ship
.
Too
-
Wit
and
the
Tsalal
islanders
were
at
first
terrified
by
the
effects
of
this
explosion
,
but
probably
still
more
disappointed
.
Their
instincts
of
pillage
could
not
be
gratified
,
because
some
valueless
wreckage
was
all
that
remained
of
the
ship
and
her
cargo
,
and
they
had
no
reason
to
suppose
that
any
of
the
crew
had
survived
the
cleverly
contrived
collapse
of
the
hill
.
Hence
it
came
about
that
Arthur
Pym
and
Dirk
Peters
on
the
one
side
,
and
William
Guy
and
his
companions
on
the
other
,
were
enabled
to
remain
undisturbed
in
the
labyrinths
of
Klock
-
Klock
,
where
they
fed
on
the
flesh
of
bitterns
—
these
they
could
catch
with
their
hands
—
and
the
fruit
of
the
nut
-
trees
which
grow
on
the
hill
-
sides
.
They
procured
fire
by
rubbing
pieces
of
soft
against
pieces
of
hard
wood
;
there
was
a
quantity
of
both
within
their
reach
.
