How to make sure, in the blood-coloured glare, whether a man's turban was white or green or crimson? But that gesture that lift of the head! No mistaking that. The man was Antoun Ahmed Antoun, the worshipful Hadji, haranguing the mob. Hardly would they let him speak at first. Those on the outskirts tried to yell him down.
Suddenly the scene was changed; the lustrous outflow was swiftly drawn in and absorbed; a grey hue swept over the darkening surface; in the distance the round, blood-coloured, orb hung above the expectant ocean. Then all assembled fell on their knees.
