They raised the sack on to the window ledge and "Oh, murder!" cried Barthes, his cheek blanching with terror. "I felt something move in the sack." "So did I," faltered Fleon. "It's alive," cried the man Barthes, turning pale. "Over with it, then; sharp." It was poised for an instant, no more, over the dizzy height. Then down it went.

'Courage, captain! said Philip Price, when he noticed the blanching of the elder man's brown face and the unutterable loathing of horror that spoke out of every feature. 'We've got to put our shoulder to the wheel, and leave no stone unturned to find Alick, and carry him out of this pestilent hole.

Voices called blessings on him from dark doorways, lips blanching in death commended him to Allah, and now and then a shrill call told of a fighter who had been laid low, but who had a spirit still unbeaten. Old men and women stood over their cooking-pots waiting for the moment of sunset; for it was Ramadan, and the faithful fasted during the day as though every day was not a fast.
