"Devil or not," cried Roland, "I follow you!" He fired a second shot, which filled the cavernous space, into which the ghost had disappeared, with flame and smoke.
His voice sounded very hollow in this noisome, cavernous shaft. And it was cold heavens how cold! Ugh! "There was one gallery section; where it leads to we cannot find out, but it was blown in by us and evidently quite a few Bosches with it; anyway, we are not going to disturb it. There is a possibility of the whole gallery collapsing about our ears."
I extended my arm, and pointed towards the road which had led me from the chasm in the rock; then an idea seized me. I drew forth my pocket-book, and sketched on one of its blank leaves a rough design of the ledge of the rock, the rope, myself clinging to it; then of the cavernous rock below, the head of the reptile, the lifeless form of my friend.
