Their squirrel and deer rifles had missed him, but his back had been peppered with birdshot in a score of places, the leaden pellets penetrating maddeningly in a score of places just under the skin.

He sprang into the wicker cage of the lift as it bumped upon the ledge. Lennon and the three Navahos crowded in after him. The Indian above peered over the cliff brink. At a signal from the Navaho he again vanished. The hoist rope tautened. With a creak, the cage scraped on the ledge and began to swing up the cliff face above the abandoned horses. To Lennon the ascent seemed maddeningly slow.
For it was her very delicacy, her gentlewoman's grace maddeningly plain to him through all the stains of the steel works that made hope impossible, that thrust him down as her inferior forever.

The foolish, childlike prayer, "Take care of us!" gazed at him maddeningly from all those eyes. It drove him to sheer despair. If only he could have driven them back to their own people and gone ahead alone!
Barret slumped back in his couch, almost paralyzed with fear. "Coming up, Tom!" cried Roger. Tom didn't reply. He kept his fingers poised on the firing button. And the seconds ticked off slowly, maddeningly. Seven eight nine ! "They've fired," Roger shouted. "Point-blank! We're going to get it!" "Fire, Tom!" shouted Connel.
