CHAPTER Nv.

"a CROSS the parched bones lay
the stick discarded by jerks
III in his alarm. He picked it up
and resumed his progress
along the pathway. So closely did he
now examine the ground that he hard
ly noted his direction. The track led
straight toward the wall Of rock. The
distance was not great-about forty
yards. At first the brushwood imped-
ed him, but soon even this hindrance
disappeared, and well defined passage
meandered through belt Of trees,
some strong and lofty. others quite i'm
mature.
More bushes gathered at the foot of
the cliff Behind them he could see
the mouth Of a cave. The six months
old growth Of vegetation about the en-.
trance gave clear indication as to the
time which had elapsed since a human
foot last disturbed the solitude.
A few vigorous blows with the stick
cleared away obstructing plants and
leafy branches. The sailor stopped and
looked into the cavern, for the opening
was barely five feet high. He per.
ceived instantly that the excavation
was mans handiwork applied to a
fault in the hard rock. A sort Of nat.
ural shaft existed, and this had been
extended by manual labor. Beyond
the entrance the cave became more
lofty. Owing to its position with ref.
erence to the sun at that hour jerks
imagined that sufficient light would
be obtainable when the tropical luxu.
rance Of foliage outside was dispensed
with.
At present the interior was dark.
With the stick he tapped the walls and
roof. A startled cluck and the rush Of
wings heralded the flight Of two birds
alarmed by the noise. Soon his eyes,
more accustomed to the gloom, made
out that the place was about thirty
feet deep, ten feet wide In the center
and seven or eight feet high.
At the farther end was collection Of
objects inviting prompt attention. Each
moment he could see with greater dis
tinctness. Kneeling on one side Of the
little pile, he discerned that on q large
stone serving as a rude bench were
some tin utensils. some knives. a sex
tant and a quantity Of empty cartridge
cases Between the stone and what a
miner terms the "face" Of the rock was
q four foot space. Here, half imbedded
In the sand which covered the floor,
were two pickaxes. a shovel, sledge
hammer. a fine timber telling Ak and
three crowbars.
In the darkest corner Of the caves
extremity the "walI' appeared to be
very smooth. He prodded with the
stick. and there was a sharp clang of
tin. He discovered six square kerosene
oil cases carefully stacked up. Three
were empty, one seemed to be half full,
and the contents Of two were un-
touched. With almost feverish haste
he ascertained that the half filed tin
did really contain oil.
what a f1ndw he calculated aloud.
So far as he could judge, the cave
harbored no further surprises. Return
ing toward the exit, his boots dislodged
more empty cartridges from the sand.
They were shells adapted to a revolver
