At the edge of a wood he stopped for a moment to study his map by the light of an electric pocket-lamp, when he heard a sharp call just above him. He could not quite make it out, but gave the password, and two shots rang out simultaneously close to him. When Lieutenant Esher came to, he found a Japanese army doctor bending over him.
Quadruped; seen by star-light, and by the aid of a pocket-lamp, in the prairies of North America see Journal for Latitude and Meridian. Genus unknown; therefore named after the discoverer, and from the happy coincidence of being seen in the evening Vespertilio Horribilis, Americanus.
All this seemed naturally the accompaniment of the embarkment of Van Cleft's yachting cruise, but the sleeping longshoreman suddenly arose to his feet and blew a shrill police whistle. Next instant the flash of his pocket-lamp illumined the dark boat below him. A volley of curses greeted this untoward action! A revolver barked from the hand of a big man in the stern.
Labertouche followed and with the aid of a small electric pocket-lamp discovered another socket for the lever. A moment later the slab moved back into place, and the Englishman dropped the metal bar. "If there were only some way of locking that opening," he gasped, "we'd be fairly safe. As it is, we'll have to look nippy.
He waited, listening intently. Not a sound of any sort came to his ears. He stepped inside courageously and slipped with his back to the wall, where he waited, holding his breath. Click! It seemed to come from his right. "Come out o' that!" he snarled. "No monkey-business, or I'll shoot." He flashed his pocket-lamp toward the sound, and aimed.
A group of men had entered the farthermost cellars, led by one who bore an electric pocket-lamp. The hard, white ray danced from bloated gray fungi to others of nightmare shape, of dazzling, venomous brilliance. Do not be deceived by its size. It is a giant variety of my own culture and is of the order empusa.
Réchamp came forward to meet us, and took hold of my arm as I was opening the door of the car. "The man's dead," he said. I had lifted up my pocket-lamp, and its light fell on Réchamp's face, which was perfectly composed, and seemed less gaunt and drawn than at any time since we had started on our trip. "Dead? Why how? What happened? Did you give him the hypodermic?" I stammered, taken aback.
Silently the owl winged its uncanny flight into the greater darkness of the trees, and was gone. Smith opened the door and we stepped into the studio. Our plans had been well considered, and in accordance with these, I now moved up beside my friend, who was dimly perceptible to me in the starlight which found access through the glass roof, and pressed the catch of my electric pocket-lamp...
An electric pocket-lamp served him with sufficient light to find his way out into the lane, and very shortly he was proceeding along Limehouse Causeway. At the moment, indignation was the major emotion ruling his mind; he resented the form which his anger assumed, for it was a passion of rebellion, and rebellion is only possible in servants. It is the part of a slave resenting the lash.
