be continued to think very violently.
His brain seemed conscious Of existence,
but he could neither see, hear nor feel. For
all he knew he might have been floating In
lightless space He was ignorant whether b.
was dead or merely under the influence Of
the gas, but be would have given all he was

whether he was alive or dead million
