Under foot was hard, compact sand, and in a moment more the glare of the lamp was reflected on running water, and they stood on the brink of the mysterious underground river. "We have found it?" exclaimed Canaris exultingly. "The Englishman was right." It was impossible to judge of the width of the stream. It might be very narrow and it might be very broad.
We came as far as yonder mountain with a caravan bound for Harar, and as there is great need of haste we would start on our return at once." This long speech the Arab likewise proclaimed aloud, and with the utmost anxiety Guy and Canaris watched its effect on the people.
This new alarm, coming just at the uncertain period of their struggle, was quite enough to strike despair to the hearts of all. "That was Sir Arthur's voice we heard first," exclaimed Forbes. "And it is Canaris who is shouting for help. What are we going to do about it?" "Tell him to hold out for a moment," cried Guy. "I'll wind up this affair pretty quick."
"I can see plenty of places to catch hold of beyond me. Now fasten a torch to one of the paddles, Canaris, and hold it as high as you can." This was a clever suggestion. The Greek fortunately had a bit of cord about him, and in a moment the torch was throwing a dull light far up the rugged slope of the rock.

The two Englishmen were lifted up behind the supposed Portuguese Sir Arthur with Canaris, the colonel beside Chutney and so weak and helpless were they that it was necessary to partially strap them in their places. All was now ready. Guy and Canaris were prepared to start, the prisoners were in their possession, and the armed escort were exchanging farewells with their comrades.
"Hush!" he added; "don't make a sound; they are coming directly toward the rock." A moment of terrible suspense followed the Greek's announcement. From without could be plainly heard a chorus of angry shouts as the Abyssinians searched for their missing prey. Then the sounds grew fainter and Canaris said quietly: "They have gone on past the rock.
Gradually memory came back as he rested, and he knew why his throat felt so queer. In the firelight he saw Bildad lying motionless across the logs. The ugly face was smeared with blood, and Forbes and Canaris were binding the brawny arms and legs. And there lay the knife, flashing back the light from its polished steel.
