I
left
it
there
,
with
the
water
rippling
round
it
,
under
the
still
stars
,
and
giving
it
a
wide
berth
pursued
my
way
towards
the
yellow
glow
of
the
house
;
and
presently
,
with
a
positive
effect
of
relief
,
came
the
pitiful
moaning
of
the
puma
,
the
sound
that
had
originally
driven
me
out
to
explore
this
mysterious
island
.
At
that
,
though
I
was
faint
and
horribly
fatigued
,
I
gathered
together
all
my
strength
,
and
began
running
again
towards
the
light
.
I
thought
I
heard
a
voice
calling
me
.
252
As
I
drew
near
the
house
I
saw
that
the
light
shone
from
the
open
door
of
my
room
;
and
then
I
heard
coming
from
out
of
the
darkness
at
the
side
of
that
orange
oblong
of
light
,
the
voice
of
Montgomery
shouting
,
"
Prendick
!
"
I
continued
running
.
Presently
I
heard
him
again
.
I
replied
by
a
feeble
"
Hullo
!
"
and
in
another
moment
had
staggered
up
to
him
.
253
"
Where
have
you
been
?
"
said
he
,
holding
me
at
arm
's
length
,
so
that
the
light
from
the
door
fell
on
my
face
.
"
We
have
both
been
so
busy
that
we
forgot
you
until
about
half
an
hour
ago
.
"
He
led
me
into
the
room
and
set
me
down
in
the
deck
chair
.
For
awhile
I
was
blinded
by
the
light
.
"
We
did
not
think
you
would
start
to
explore
this
island
of
ours
without
telling
us
,
"
he
said
;
and
then
,
"
I
was
afraid
--
But
--
what
--
Hullo
!

My
last
remaining
strength
slipped
from
me
,
and
my
head
fell
forward
on
my
chest
.
I
think
he
found
a
certain
satisfaction
in
giving
me
brandy
.
255
"
For
God
's
sake
,
"
said
I
,
"
fasten
that
door
.
"
256
"
You
've
been
meeting
some
of
our
curiosities
,
eh
?
"
said
he
.
257
He
locked
the
door
and
turned
to
me
again
.
He
asked
me
no
questions
,
but
gave
me
some
more
brandy
and
water
and
pressed
me
to
eat
.
I
was
in
a
state
of
collapse
.
He
said
something
vague
about
his
forgetting
to
warn
me
,
and
asked
me
briefly
when
I
left
the
house
and
what
I
had
seen
.

I
answered
him
as
briefly
,
in
fragmentary
sentences
.
259
"
Tell
me
what
it
all
means
,
"
said
I
,
in
a
state
bordering
on
hysterics
.
260
"
It
's
nothing
so
very
dreadful
,
"
said
he
.
"
But
I
think
you
have
had
about
enough
for
one
day
.
"
The
puma
suddenly
gave
a
sharp
yell
of
pain
.
At
that
he
swore
under
his
breath
.
"
I
'm
damned
,
"
said
he
,
"
if
this
place
is
not
as
bad
as
Gower
Street
,
with
its
cats
.
"
