No, the cord still dangled; somewhere in that dense gloom, the two men peered over the roof edge waiting my response. "Monsieur," I called up softly, unable to restrain my eagerness. "Yes, Madame," it was De Artigny's voice, although a mere whisper. "You have some word for me?"
"Hm! Put your hand in and feel around." I reluctantly obeyed. Finding nothing at first, I thrust my arm deeper, then higher up beyond the curve. My fingers touched something hard that slipped away from them. Regardless of the foul water, I thrust my arm in still farther, and, securing my hold on a cord, drew out a leather bag.
I guess that'll hold the police when they find the poor old duck hanging from the ceiling, with a bit of cord around his neck, and a chair kicked out from under his feet on the floor. Ain't you got the brains of a louse to see that?" "Sure" the whisper came dully, in grudging intonation through the panels the door was locked.
The position of the extended arm is then altered, and the spindle again set in motion in order to wind up the new thread on the shaft. The mass of fiber is held in the left hand, and a thread from it is attached to a horizontal spindle, which is turned by a cord passing over a large wheel.

Stern shot a thin line over to them by means of a bow and arrow. With this they pulled a stouter cord across, and finally a strong cable.
