poised brick. and let ny with all his
force.
The STOPPING man went down like a
clouted rabbit, without a sound. But
even as he fell the first intruder, at
the far end Of the room, struck a
match. And at that second figure
Manley let drive with the only missile
at hand.
The heavy glass lamp, hurled true,
side in a shower Of oil and broken
glass. But Marley did not wait to wit
ness the result of that second assault.
He leaped for the door, caught up the
blue-barreled revolver from the hand
Of the stunned man on the threshold,
and drove for the heavier door at the
end OF the outer chamber.
But this door he found to be locked.
He was on the point OF starting back
in search of a timber heavy enough to
batter down that barrier when all
movement was arrested by an uproar
Of sound that fairly drove the breath
from his body. For the shower of oil
that fell about the lighted match at
the vaulted end of the side chamber
had sunk into the litter Of rubbish
beside the powder cases, had burst In
to flames and had crept closer about
those wooden cases until the licking
tongues OF heat had reached the explo-
sive.
Yet even as Manley stood there,
fighting for breath. a second surprise
both confronted and engulfed him.
Following close on that telltale roar
Of sound came an even more bewilder-
ing rush OF water, tearing through the
low-noofed cellar like q thousand
hounds let loose. And he knew then
that the explosion hid broken down
the walls between HIM and the East
river at high tide.
He leaped in the direction Of the
door, IN the hope OF getting II closed.
Ne was still Ot~uERling frantically
