I left him with his drink for some time. But he was clearly getting drunk, and that was dangerous on a day like this.
'Listen, Montgomery, something's happened to Moreau,' I said. 'He's been out for too long. We need to find him.'
Montgomery did not want to go. But in the end he agreed. We had a quick lunch, then stepped out into the heat of the day.

CHAPTER TWELVE
The Search for Moreau
M'ling went in front. Montgomery followed, with his head down and his hands in his pockets. He could not walk in a straight line because he was tired. My left arm was tied up and painful, but luckily my right arm was fine. I carried our only gun.
We took a narrow path through the trees. Suddenly M'ling stopped, listening. We listened too. Some animal-people were coming towards us.
'He's dead,' said one voice.
'He isn't dead, he isn't dead,' said another.
'We saw, we saw,' said some others.
There was a few seconds silence, then some crashes in the trees. Finally we saw six faces: the ape-man, the hairy grey Sayer of the Law, and four horse-men.
'What did you say?' asked Montgomery angrily. 'Where's the Master?'
They all looked at their friends. No one spoke. Finally the hairy Sayer of the Law said, 'He's dead. They saw.'
'Where is he?' continued Montgomery.
The hairy grey thing pointed away to our left.
'Is there a Law now?' asked the ape-man. 'Is it still "Don't do this and don't do that"? Is he really dead?'
'Is there a Law?' repeated his friends.
'Is there a Law, Other-with-a-gun? He is dead,' said the Sayer of the Law. They all stood watching us.
'Prendick,' he said, 'he's clearly dead, so...'
I thought quickly and stepped towards the animal-men. 'Children of the Law,' I said loudly, 'he is not dead.' M'ling turned his sharp eyes on me, but I continued. 'He has changed his shape... He has changed his body. For some time you won't see him.
'He is... there,' I pointed up to the sky. 'You can't see him, but he can see you. Fear the Law.'
They looked unsure. 'He is great. He is good,' said the ape-man finally, looking fearfully up at the sky.
'And the other thing?' I asked them.
'The Thing-with-blood-and-screams is dead too,' said the Sayer of the Law.
'Good,' said Montgomery to himself.
'The Other-with-the-gun...' began the Sayer of the Law.
'Yes?' I said.
'He says the Master is dead.'
Montgomery understood my purpose in all this. 'He's not dead,' he said now. 'He's no more dead than I am.'
'Some have broken the Law,' I continued. 'They will die. Some have died already. Show us the Master's old body.'
'It is this way, Walker-with-tears-in-the-sea,' said the Sayer of the Law.
We were following him through the trees when suddenly a rabbit crossed our path. Behind it came a great bear-man, too fast to stop. The Sayer of the Law stepped out of this monster's way. M'ling jumped at it but was pushed off. Montgomery turned to run. Quickly, I pulled out my gun and shot straight into the monster's ugly face. Its face was destroyed, but still it came towards us. It caught Montgomery in its arms as it fell to the ground - dead.
Slowly, Montgomery shook himself out of the monster's lifeless arms. The Sayer of the Law came nervously to look.
'You see,' I said to him. 'The Law is alive. This man is dead because of the Law. No one escapes.'
'No one escapes,' he repeated.
His friends joined him to look at the dead bear-man.
Finally we continued our walk. At the west corner of the island, we found the dead puma. It was shot in the shoulder, and half-eaten too. Then, a few metres away, we found another body. It lay face down, its white hair covered in blood.
