In the shadows, which grew denser at the far end of the room, was a squat, globular object, a massive, smooth-sided, black, threatening thing of iron. One of the men glanced at his watch it was just two o'clock then rose and took a position beside the table, facing the semicircle. He placed the timepiece on the table in front of him.
Both specimens immediately succeed the Schorl rock at the Cataract, in large smooth-sided masses. This formation may be said to terminate the rocks connected with the dividing ranges, since it is the last that occurs at their western base.
