There

I
could
not
describe
the
impression
those
three
words
made
upon
us
.
Edgar
Poe
would
have
said
that
they
were
three
cries
from
the
depths
of
the
under
world
.
It
was
Dirk
Peters
who
had
spoken
,
and
his
body
was
stretched
out
in
the
direction
of
the
sphinx
,
as
though
it
had
been
turned
to
iron
and
was
attracted
by
the
magnet
.
Then
he
sped
swiftly
towards
the
sphinx
-
like
mound
,
and
his
companions
followed
him
over
rough
ground
strewn
with
volcanic
remains
of
all
sorts
.
The
monster
grew
larger
as
we
neared
it
,
but
lost
none
of
its
mythological
shape
.
Alone
on
that
vast
plain
it
produced
a
sense
of
awe
.
And
—
but
this
could
only
have
been
a
delusion
—
we
seemed
to
be
drawn
towards
it
by
the
force
of
its
magnetic
attraction
.
On
arriving
at
the
base
of
the
mound
,
we
found
there
the
various
articles
on
which
the
magnet
had
exerted
its
power
;
arms
,
utensils
,
the
grapnel
of
the
Paracuta
,
all
adhering
to
the
sides
of
the
monster
.
There
also
were
the
iron
relics
of
the
Halbrane
’
s
boat
,
all
her
utensils
,
arms
,
and
fittings
,
even
to
the
nails
and
the
iron
portions
of
the
rudder
.
There
was
no
possibility
of
regaining
possession
of
any
of
these
things
.
Even
had
they
not
adhered
to
the
loadstone
rock
at
too
great
a
height
to
be
reached
,
they
adhered
to
it
too
closely
to
be
detached
.
Hurliguerly
was
infuriated
by
the
impossibility
of
recovering
his
knife
,
which
he
recognized
at
fifty
feet
above
his
head
,
and
cried
as
he
shook
his
clenched
fist
at
the
imperturbable
monster
,
—
“
Thief
of
a
sphinx
!
”
Of
course
the
things
which
had
belonged
to
the
Halbrane
’
s
boat
and
the
Paracuta
’
s
were
the
only
articles
that
adorned
the
mighty
sides
of
the
lonely
mystic
form
.
Never
had
any
ship
reached
such
a
latitude
of
the
Antarctic
Sea
.
Hearne
and
his
accomplices
,
Captain
Len
Guy
and
his
companions
,
were
the
first
who
had
trodden
this
point
of
the
southern
continent
.
And
any
vessel
that
might
have
approached
this
colossal
magnet
must
have
incurred
certain
destruction
.
Our
schooner
must
have
perished
,
even
as
its
boat
had
been
dashed
into
a
shapeless
wreck
.
