Jim was sitting in the buckboard beside Doc Crombie. The rest of the crowd were in the saddle. "I swear it, laddie," he cried in a fear. "An' an' you got that gold?" The boy's face was suddenly contorted with fierce bodily pain. "Yes, yes, and it's yours when we come back." Another glance showed the hanging party on the outskirts of the village. They were passing slowly.
In the outskirts of the town there was a large low building of mud or sun-dried bricks, which had not been overthrown by the earthquake. To this Pedro conducted his companions.
Now, what was the best thing for me to do? Could I do anything useful? I stood on the outskirts of that seething, maddened crowd, and watched men and women striving desperately together, trampling each other remorselessly down; shrieking, cursing, fighting; no longer human, but reduced by the fear of death to the condition of rabid, ferocious brutes.
