Some one of the crater, presumably Gunga Dass, must have shot him with his own gun the gun that fitted the brown cartridges. He had never attempted to escape in the face of the rifle-fire from the boat. I pushed the corpse out hastily, and saw it sink from sight literally in a few seconds. I shuddered as I watched. In a dazed, half-conscious way I turned to peruse the notebook.
The first thing that attracted my attention, as I began to look about me was the fact that the grass was trampled down over a considerable area. I examined it carefully and while doing so found this notebook in the grass. It didn't take me long after that to reach the conclusion that Cousin Alvin had been attacked by somebody and in the struggle lost this notebook out of his pocket."

"They'll not live long," said Michael. "Amn't I telling you that they're dying out? It's the sleep that's killing them." Miss Clarence drew a large notebook and a pencil from her bag.
