At the Douve, however, I discovered a way of getting round this which I will describe later.

There is something very eerie and strange about echoing rifle shots in the silence of the night.

I thought of the horrible little yellow man who lay dead in Wyatt's Buildings; and it became evident to me that the house in which I was now imprisoned must overlook the back of those unsavoury tenements. The windows, sack-covered now, no doubt commanded a view of the roofs of the buildings. One of the mysteries that had puzzled us was solved.
