For an instant, which to the few observers seemed an hour, these two figures, from which motion seemed to have passed forever, stood frozen. Then there came a spurt of whitish-blue smoke and the thin dry crack of the border rifle. The hand and eye of Jim Bridger, in spite of advancing years, remained true to their long training.
Meanwhile the hand in the chains was continuing to take casts of the lead as fast as he could haul in the line, with the result that we seemed to be maintaining our depth of about eighteen fathoms, over a rocky bottom composed of coral, as I had no doubt, from the peculiar whitish-blue tint of the water.
They had cut out a square hole two by three feet and six feet deep. Gazing down into the bottom of the hole, Bob gave a shout: "The stone chest, as sure as I live!" "What!" cried the captain. He too looked into the opening. There rested what at first looked to the a square stone of a whitish-blue color.
Leaving before eight, the following morning, we travelled through a beautiful cañon, with an abundant stream of whitish-blue water, tumbling in fine cascades among the rocks, and dashing now and then into deep pools of inky blackness. Having passed through it, our bridle-trail plunged abruptly downward.
Their brilliant colour contrasted vividly with the whitish-blue of their antagonists, for the struggle was indisputable. He saw these things with Howard shouting in his ear and shaking his arm. And then suddenly Howard was gone and he stood alone. He perceived that the cries of "The Sleeper" grew in volume, and that the people on the nearer platform were standing up.
