But, towards the Straits, a faint light appears. At first, a gentle, bluish light, such as precedes moonrise; it increases in brightness, and assumes a ruddy hue. Darkness thickens in every other direction; the white wilds of the desert are now scarcely visible under the black vault of the firmament. Strange and confused noises are heard amidst this obscurity.
The bronze or copper of it had grown green with the eating airs of that exalted place, and Otto had instantly the thought, 'Even if they had arms, they must be rusted by now. Moonrise had already made a deathly dawn behind the crests and crags, and the rain had ceased.
Until moonrise he gave no sign at all; then rising gravely, crutch and bowl in hand, stepped a pace or two beyond the entrance and whistled twice as they supposed for a guide.
The attendant tells me that he was quiet until just before dawn, and that then he began to get uneasy, and at length violent, until at last he fell into a paroxysm which exhausted him so that he swooned into a sort of coma. . . .

When he started in the other direction after hastily eating the meal, he knew he should be out until past moonrise, and told Lot so. "I'll come and meet you," said his campmate. "No need. Reckon I can find my way back alone," said Enoch. "The moon'll be up by seven and it's nigh full." It was so, yet Enoch had no thought when he left the camp that he would be as long delayed as he was.
Above the black pines of Arrow Hill a great round moon hung in the amethyst skies. And low over the valley there stretched a misty veil of gold and silver, a magic web woven by the fingers of the moonrise held out in farewell to touch the fairy hands of the sunset. It was such a night as could intoxicate Elizabeth.
There ran but two lines, in a hand with which he was well acquainted: "Will you meet one that you know in the cave to-night four hours after moonrise?" He went back to the messenger.
