The room was somewhat peculiarly shaped, being evidently situated in one of the angles of the fort.
"If I could only know!" he whispered. She pressed his hand. She did not reply. Ahead the forest was scarred by a yellow wound. The bearers set their burden down beside it, glancing at each other with relief. Across the heap of earth Bobby saw the waiting excavation. In his ears vibrated the memory of the harsh voice: "It's deep enough!" Another voice droned. It was soft and unctuous.
At the end of fifteen months the level was finished, and the excavation completed beneath the gallery, and the two workmen could distinctly hear the measured tread of the sentinel as he paced to and fro over their heads.
I have not said anything about the quantity of gold to the ton, as the experimental crushings at Crockerville will enable a much more accurate idea to be formed than any I could make from the hand-washings I saw done. The boxes of specimens sealed by me are the result of blasts and excavation done whilst I was on the spot. On April 6 I reached the Mine d'Or d'Aboassu, this being my second visit.
