Story Of the City Of Fire tContlnuctil


How / managed 10 think Of any
defense against such an attack. and
especially IN the circumstances. Is a
matter have often wondered about
since.
you may observe that I have
large hands. Their size and strength
served me well on this occasion. At
the moment that the rope frightened
about my throat l reached up and
grasped tho Brahmln's left thumb.
Desperation gave mo additional
strength and / snapped Il like n
stick Of candy.
Just in the nick OF time felt the
cord relax, and. altho the veins in
my head seemed to be bursting. I
managed TO get my fingers under
that damnabIo rope.
"Clutching tho rope with my left
hand. l groancd and lay still. The
Brahmln slightly shifted his position.
which was what / wanted him 10 do.
The brief respite had been sufficient.
As he moved. / managed to draw my
knees UP. very slightly. for he was a
big, heavy man. but sufficiently 10

Then. gentlemen. dealt with him
as he had meant TO deal with me.
only I used my bare hands and made
"a job Of It.
The fires burned lower and lower,
but l made no attempt TO roplenish
them; and because / sat there so
silent. all kinds OF Jungle creatures
crept fur;ively out Of the shadows
and watched mo with their glittering
eyes.

This mysterious formula no had
firmly declined TO translate into com.

journey I had oecn considering IL
from every angle. and | had recently
come 20 the conclusion that the en-
trance to this mysterious place was
in some way concealed by water.
And now. gentlemen. must re-
late a discovery which had made in

Upon his right forearm was branded
a mark resembling the apparition
which had witnessed in the night.
