what had happened she proved herself

was she, In fact, who first voiced the
fear that Cobo dead was scarcely less
menace than Cobo alive.
"What are we going to do with him r

O'Reilly was by this time suffering
the full reaction from the events Of
the past half-hour and he was nearer
exhaustion than he dreamed, but, con-
quering his repugnance for his unes-
capable task, he lowered himself once
more into the well. His arms were
weak, however and his fingers numb
