The green light, strangely enough, did not seem lessened by the surrounding starlight, but had a clearer effect and a deeper green. Whilst they were carefully regarding this Adam with the aid of an opera-glass their nostrils were assailed by a horrid stench, something like that which rose from the well-hole in Diana's Grove.
Permission having been accorded, she explained that before she finally left Diana's Grove, where she had lived so long, she had a desire to know the depth of the well-hole.
Adam knew of the explosive works in progress regarding the well-hole, but the matter had been kept from his wife. As they stood near the house, Adam asked Mimi to return to the road, ostensibly to watch the course of the wire, telling her that there might be a branch wire leading somewhere else.
In spite of his shrieks, the miserable Jew was then dragged into the well-hole, and the rope being tied round his neck, he was launched from the bridge. The vengeance of the assailants did not stop here. They broke open the entrance into Jonathan's store-room plundered it of everything valuable ransacked every closet, drawer, and secret hiding-place, and stripped them of their contents.
Moving swiftly away from the well-hole of the staircase he passed on tiptoe down the hall to the Major's rooms, and, opening the door, went in. The old soldier was standing, with arms folded, at the window looking silently out into the darkness of the night. He turned at the sound of the door's opening and moved toward Cleek with a white, agonised face and a pair of shaking, outstretched hands.
Several times some masses of enormous bulk were forced up through the well-hole with inconceivable violence, and, suddenly expanding as they came into larger space, disclosed sections of the White Worm which Adam and Sir Nathaniel had seen looking over the trees with its enormous eyes of emerald-green flickering like great lamps in a gale.
The English engineers made an opening in the solid exterior, and found an unfinished statue of Buddha on a platform over a deep well-hole." We read this description among others before we visited the Boro Budur, and must confess that from none of them did we get a correct idea of what we were to see. It must be seen to be realised.
I imagined I could hold him by the teeth. The place where I struck him was a deep well-hole, and I was perched upon a log that spanned it ten or twelve feet above the water. The situation was all the more interesting because I saw no possible way to land my fish. I could not lead him ashore, and my frail tackle could not be trusted to lift him sheer from that pit to my precarious perch.
The door was locked; but, with the bars of iron, it was speedily burst open. Several of the assailants carried links, so that the room was a blaze of light. Jonathan, however, was nowhere to be seen. Rushing towards the entrance of the well-hole, Blueskin touched the secret spring. He was not there.
"As the sand is being poured into the well-hole, quantities of dynamite can also be thrown in!" "Good. But how would the dynamite explode for, of course, that is what you intend. Would not some sort of wire or fuse he required for each parcel of dynamite?" Adam smiled. "Not in these days, sir. That was proved in New York.
