I
found
a
fragment
of
rock
and
threw
it
at
him
,
striking
him
on
the
chest
.
272
This
emboldened
me
,
and
,
besides
,
I
was
now
as
angry
as
he
,
and
had
lost
all
fear
.
I
ripped
fragment
of
rock
from
the
wall
.
The
piece
must
have
weighed
two
or
three
pounds
.
With
my
strength
I
slammed
it
full
into
Red
-
Eye
s
face
.
It
nearly
finished
him
.
He
staggered
backward
,
dropping
his
stick
,
and
almost
fell
off
the
cliff
.
273
He
was
a
ferocious
sight
.
His
face
was
covered
with
blood
,
and
he
was
snarling
and
gnashing
his
fangs
like
a
wild
boar
.
He
wiped
the
blood
from
his
eyes
,
caught
sight
of
me
,
and
roared
with
fury
.
His
stick
was
gone
,
so
he
began
ripping
out
chunks
of
crumbling
rock
and
throwing
them
in
at
me
.
This
supplied
me
with
ammunition
.
I
gave
him
as
good
as
he
sent
,
and
better
;
for
he
presented
a
good
target
,
while
he
caught
only
glimpses
of
me
as
I
snuggled
against
the
side
-
wall
.

Suddenly
he
disappeared
again
.
From
the
lip
of
the
cave
I
saw
him
descending
.
All
the
horde
had
gathered
outside
and
in
awed
silence
was
looking
on
.
As
he
descended
,
the
more
timid
ones
scurried
for
their
caves
.
I
could
see
old
Marrow
-
Bone
tottering
along
as
fast
as
he
could
.
Red
-
Eye
sprang
out
from
the
wall
and
finished
the
last
twenty
feet
through
the
air
.
He
landed
alongside
a
mother
who
was
just
beginning
the
ascent
.
She
screamed
with
fear
,
and
the
two
-
year
-
old
child
that
was
clinging
to
her
released
its
grip
and
rolled
at
Red
-
Eye
s
feet
.
Both
he
and
the
mother
reached
for
it
,
and
he
got
it
.
The
next
moment
the
frail
little
body
had
whirled
through
the
air
and
shattered
against
the
wall
.
275
The
mother
ran
to
it
,
caught
it
up
in
her
arms
,
and
crouched
over
it
crying
.
276
Red
-
Eye
started
over
to
pick
up
the
stick
.
Old
Marrow
-
Bone
had
tottered
into
his
way
.
Red
-
Eye
s
great
hand
shot
out
and
clutched
the
old
man
by
the
back
of
the
neck
.
I
looked
to
see
his
neck
broken
.
His
body
went
limp
as
he
surrendered
himself
to
his
fate
.
Red
-
Eye
hesitated
a
moment
,
and
Marrow
-
Bone
,
shivering
terribly
,
bowed
his
head
and
covered
his
face
with
his
crossed
arms
.
Then
Red
-
Eye
slammed
him
face
-
downward
to
the
ground
.
Old
Marrow
-
Bone
did
not
struggle
.
He
lay
there
crying
with
the
fear
of
death
.
I
saw
the
Hairless
One
,
out
in
the
open
space
,
beating
his
chest
and
bristling
,
but
afraid
to
come
forward
.
And
then
,
in
obedience
to
some
whim
of
his
erratic
spirit
,
Red
-
Eye
let
the
old
man
alone
and
passed
on
and
recovered
the
stick
.
277
He
returned
to
the
wall
and
began
to
climb
up
.
Lop
-
Ear
,
who
was
shivering
and
peeping
alongside
of
me
,
scrambled
back
into
the
cave
.
It
was
plain
that
Red
-
Eye
was
bent
upon
murder
.
I
was
desperate
and
angry
and
fairly
cool
.
Running
back
and
forth
along
the
neighboring
ledges
,
I
gathered
a
heap
of
rocks
at
the
cave
-
entrance
.
Red
-
Eye
was
now
several
yards
beneath
me
,
concealed
for
the
moment
by
an
out
-
jut
of
the
cliff
.
As
he
climbed
,
his
head
came
into
view
,
and
I
banged
a
rock
down
.
It
missed
,
striking
the
wall
and
shattering
;
but
the
flying
dust
and
grit
filled
his
eyes
and
he
drew
back
out
of
view
.

A
chuckling
and
chattering
arose
from
the
horde
,
that
played
the
part
of
audience
.
At
last
there
was
one
of
the
Folk
who
dared
to
face
Red
-
Eye
.
279
As
their
approval
and
acclamation
arose
on
the
air
,
Red
-
Eye
snarled
down
at
them
,
and
on
the
instant
they
were
subdued
to
silence
.
Encouraged
by
this
evidence
of
his
power
,
he
thrust
his
head
into
view
,
and
by
scowling
and
snarling
and
gnashing
his
fangs
tried
to
intimidate
me
.
He
scowled
horribly
,
contracting
the
scalp
strongly
over
the
brows
and
bringing
the
hair
down
from
the
top
of
the
head
until
each
hair
stood
apart
and
pointed
straight
forward
.
280
The
sight
chilled
me
,
but
I
mastered
my
fear
,
and
,
with
a
stone
poised
in
my
hand
,
threatened
him
back
.
He
still
tried
to
advance
.
I
drove
the
stone
down
at
him
and
made
a
sheer
miss
.
The
next
shot
was
a
success
.
The
stone
struck
him
on
the
neck
.
He
slipped
back
out
of
sight
,
but
as
he
disappeared
I
could
see
him
clutching
for
a
grip
on
the
wall
with
one
hand
,
and
with
the
other
clutching
at
his
throat
.
The
stick
fell
clattering
to
the
ground
.
