that the light / carried made us fair

the men with me followed my example.

presently all was silent.
Then the unexpected happened.
Through a tiny barred window, high
In the wall, flash of white lightning

like ourselves, were crouching on the
floor. Green fired, and a groan fol-
lowed the report of his revolver. For
some reason which / shall never be
able to explain, Weatherby and / did
not shoot. His smiling, insolent face
menaced me, and / looked back with
what defiance l could.
We all waited for the next flash OF
lightning, not drawing an audible
breath. Never did silence seem so
complete to me as in that little room
where six desperate men waited in
darkness to do each other to the death.

This horror affected us all similarly. |
We were wary, but we suspended hos
