"
Montgomery
,
"
said
I
,
"
what
was
that
thing
that
came
after
me
?
Was
it
a
beast
or
was
it
a
man
?
"
262
"
If
you
do
n't
sleep
to-night
,
"
he
said
,
"
you
'll
be
off
your
head
to-morrow
.
"
263
I
stood
up
in
front
of
him
.
"
What
was
that
thing
that
came
after
me
?
"
I
asked
.

He
looked
me
squarely
in
the
eyes
,
and
twisted
his
mouth
askew
.
His
eyes
,
which
had
seemed
animated
a
minute
before
,
went
dull
.
"
From
your
account
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
'm
thinking
it
was
a
bogle
.
"
265
I
felt
a
gust
of
intense
irritation
,
which
passed
as
quickly
as
it
came
.
I
flung
myself
into
the
chair
again
,
and
pressed
my
hands
on
my
forehead
.
The
puma
began
once
more
.
266
Montgomery
came
round
behind
me
and
put
his
hand
on
my
shoulder
.
"
Look
here
,
Prendick
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
had
no
business
to
let
you
drift
out
into
this
silly
island
of
ours
.
But
it
's
not
so
bad
as
you
feel
,
man
.
Your
nerves
are
worked
to
rags
.
Let
me
give
you
something
that
will
make
you
sleep
.
That
--
will
keep
on
for
hours
yet
.
You
must
simply
get
to
sleep
,
or
I
wo
n't
answer
for
it
.
"
267
I
did
not
reply
.

I
bowed
forward
,
and
covered
my
face
with
my
hands
.
Presently
he
returned
with
a
small
measure
containing
a
dark
liquid
.
This
he
gave
me
.
I
took
it
unresistingly
,
and
he
helped
me
into
the
hammock
.
269
When
I
awoke
,
it
was
broad
day
.
For
a
little
while
I
lay
flat
,
staring
at
the
roof
above
me
.
The
rafters
,
I
observed
,
were
made
out
of
the
timbers
of
a
ship
.
Then
I
turned
my
head
,
and
saw
a
meal
prepared
for
me
on
the
table
.
I
perceived
that
I
was
hungry
,
and
prepared
to
clamber
out
of
the
hammock
,
which
,
very
politely
anticipating
my
intention
,
twisted
round
and
deposited
me
upon
all-fours
on
the
floor
.
270
I
got
up
and
sat
down
before
the
food
.
I
had
a
heavy
feeling
in
my
head
,
and
only
the
vaguest
memory
at
first
of
the
things
that
had
happened
over
night
.
The
morning
breeze
blew
very
pleasantly
through
the
unglazed
window
,
and
that
and
the
food
contributed
to
the
sense
of
animal
comfort
which
I
experienced
.
Presently
the
door
behind
me
--
the
door
inward
towards
the
yard
of
the
enclosure
--
opened
.
I
turned
and
saw
Montgomery
's
face
.
