There was a tree marked L, the letter being roughly cut into the bark, and inside the letter, X V A was carved; also there were indications that proved that a party of whites had been camped there during wet weather. Still led on by the natives, Hely at last reached the Nivelle River, when his guides deserted him, and he returned.
Indeed, it was through my attention being called to the latter, that I am indirectly indebted for this story. I was alluding to them, on our way back to the hotel after her performance, when Hely Browne interrupted me. "Talking about psychic things, O'Donnell," he said, "do you know there is a haunted house near where we are staying? You don't?
The last time I was passing through Glasgow, I put up for the night at an hotel near Sandyford Place, and met there an old theatrical acquaintance named Browne, Hely Browne. Not having seen him since I gave up acting, which is now, alas! a good many years, we had much to discuss touring days, lodgings, managers, crowds, and a dozen other subjects, all included in the vulgar term "shop."
There was then a gasping, rasping noise, and a voice that, despite its unnatural hollowness, I identified as that of Ralph, broke forth: 'I have been wanting to speak to you for ages, but something, I cannot explain, has always prevented me. I have been dead a month; not cancer, but Dolly. Poison. Good-bye, Hely.

At last I found out a delicate walk in the middle that goes quite through the wood, and then went out of the wood, and holloed Mr.
He noted down the description of the body, and, from the locality and surroundings, it has been pronounced to have been the body of Gray, who died before reaching Cooper's Creek. If the reader will remember what was the result of the circumstantial accounts of Leichhardt's murder retailed to Hely by the natives, he will not be astonished at what follows.
For some seconds I stood still, not knowing what else to do; then, to make one more desperate attempt, I stuck straight in front of me and ran into something something that recoiled and hit me. Thrilled with amazement, I put up my hand to feel what it was, and touched a noose." "A noose!" I ejaculated, interrupting Hely Browne for the first time since he began.
He counted it good fortune to lie a night at Epsom to renew his old walks, "where Mrs. Hely and I did use to walk and talk, with whom I had the first sentiments of love and pleasure in a woman's company, discourse and taking her by the hand, she being a pretty woman."
